Iran-Israel Conflict: Iran has denied claims of any ceasefire agreement at this time, according to a statement by its Foreign Minister and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Iran-Israel Conflict: Iran’s foreign minister and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei have denied claims of a ceasefire agreement with Israel, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on June 24, 2025, of a “complete and total ceasefire” to end the 12-day conflict.
Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, stated there was no agreement and that Iran would not cease hostilities unless Israel halted its attacks. State-run media outlets like IRNA and Tasnim also dismissed reports of a ceasefire proposal.
Despite Trump’s claim of a phased truce starting with Iran halting attacks by 2 p.m. and Israel following 12 hours later, Iran launched missiles at Israel after the announced deadline, with strikes reported in Be’er Sheva, killing three and wounding eight. This suggests no formal ceasefire was in place, and tensions remain high.
Trump’s official statement
On June 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran to end the 12-day conflict, stating it would begin with Iran halting attacks by 2 p.m., followed by Israel 12 hours later.
The statement, made at 11 a.m. from the White House, claimed the ceasefire was brokered through intense negotiations involving Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other regional players, with terms including Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies halting rocket fire, Israel stopping airstrikes, and a phased de-escalation leading to talks on prisoner exchanges and Gaza reconstruction.
Trump presented it as a diplomatic victory, though Iran’s subsequent denial and missile strikes indicate the ceasefire did not materialize as claimed.
Israel’s situation after the US President’s ceasefire announcement
As of June 24, 2025, there has been no official statement from the Israeli government confirming or denying US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a “ceasefire” with Iran.
Israeli media reported that the Israeli military referred to ongoing Iranian missile attacks, which killed three people in Beersheba, as an indication of an immediate halt in hostilities.
Prior to Trump’s announcement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had insisted that Israel was “very close” to achieving its goals of curtailing Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, ruling out a ceasefire until those goals were met.
Some unconfirmed sources claim that Netanyahu has declared a “broad ceasefire” with Iran to be implemented gradually, but official Israeli confirmation of this will have to wait.
The absence of an official Israeli response and the continued military activity indicate that Israel has so far Did not publicly support the ceasefire.
