TEHRAN – A fresh wave of missile attacks has been launched by Iran towards southern Israel, escalating tensions in an already volatile regional conflict as Tehran denied receiving any formal ceasefire proposal and say they see no grounds for halting their military campaign.
Senior Iranian official told US media that Tehran will continue in its military operations until it secures what it considers a lasting and just peace. The official dismissed statements from Tel Aviv and Washington as “deceptive maneuvers” intended to justify further aggression toward Iran.
“At this moment, Iran is under direct assault, and we are prepared to intensify our retaliatory response,” the official said. “We will not be distracted by the false narratives pushed by our adversaries.”
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that a ceasefire agreement had been finalized between Israel and Iran. Referring to the ongoing hostilities as “The 12-Day War,” Trump stated that fighting would end within 24 hours.
According to Trump, Iran is expected to initiate the ceasefire, with Israel following suit 12 hours later. “A complete and total ceasefire has been agreed upon,” Trump wrote, adding that final military operations are currently being completed by both sides.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation of a ceasefire from Iranian authorities, and missile activity continues in the region.
