A response has come from Iran regarding US President Donald Trump's claims that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, had requested a ceasefire from the Washington administration.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the Iranian side had not made any request for a ceasefire.
Araghchi dismissed claims that a 5-point ceasefire proposal had been put forward by Iran as "media speculation."
Regarding when the war might end, Araghchi further noted that the conflict would continue until "the aggressors are punished" and "full reparations are paid to Iran."
In a statement regarding Trump's claims, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said, "Trump's statements regarding a ceasefire are false and baseless."
Trump's statement
In a post on his social media account regarding Iran, Trump had said, "The leader of the new regime in Iran, as a much less radical and much smarter person than the previous ones, has requested a ceasefire from the US. We will consider this when the Strait of Hormuz becomes open, free, and safe. Until then, we will destroy Iran or, as the saying goes, send them back to the Stone Age."
