Iran Denies Trump’s Ceasefire Claims Amid Escalating Tensions
Former U.S. President Donald TRUMP announced a purported 12-hour ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, claiming the "12 Day War" would conclude after mutual truces. The declaration, laden with optimistic rhetoric, was swiftly rejected by Iranian officials who accused the U.S. of deception.
Aziz Nasirzadeh of Iran’s National Security Council dismissed the claims, stating no ceasefire proposal had been received. "The enemy is committing aggression against Iran," he asserted, signaling plans for intensified retaliatory strikes. The disconnect highlights volatile geopolitical risks that could reverberate through global markets.
