After President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to a preliminary ceasefire, Tel Aviv replied, saying that he agreed until Tehran had further attacks, the White House official said. Meanwhile, Iran indicated that no further attacks would happen.
On Monday, Trump made a surprising notice of the ceasefire on his social platform of truth just days after ordering air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Trump published on Truth Social that the 24 -hour gradual ceasefire would begin at about midnight on Tuesday East time, which will give both countries six hours to “disappear and complete their ongoing, final missions”. He said he would bring the “official end” to the war.
Trump later said NBC, “I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It will go forever.”
Details of timing exactly when each party stops fighting, they were not immediately clear from Trump’s post.
According to the White House official, Trump mediated an agreement on the ceasefire agreement with Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday afternoon. On the other hand, JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff’s envoy organized direct and indirect conversations with the Iranians.
Vice President JD Vance added that the President “was constantly working on phones on Monday to get an agreement.” The President wants to become peaceful and prosperous in the Middle East. “
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said soon on Tuesday that there was no “agreement” of any ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
He added, however, that if Israel stopped his “illegal aggression” against the Iranian people on Tuesday no later than 4 hours of Tehran (0030 GMT), Iran did not intend to continue the reaction later.
“The final decision to stop our military operations will be made later,” Araqchi added in a post on X.
At the time Trump announced, the Iranian media showed a strong explosion in Tehran and several other cities.
His announcement came only a few hours after Iran fired missiles to the Air Udeid air base in Qatar, where the US central command has its regional headquarters after it promises to respond “in proportion and definitely” to the weekend bombing with the American forces of three nuclear facilities. Qatar said that the Iranian missile fire was captured and the base was evacuated in advance.
