Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that a ceasefire had been reached between Iran and Israel, but both countries have rejected the statement. Fighting in the region remains intense, and no official ceasefire has been declared by either side. The conflict shows no signs of stopping, despite global concerns and diplomatic pressure.
Iran Denies Any Ceasefire Deal
Iran’s Foreign Ministry officially refuted Trump’s claim, calling it baseless and misleading. Iranian officials stated that no agreement has been reached and that their strategic response will continue until their objectives are fulfilled. According to Iranian state media, operations are still ongoing and any negotiations on ceasefire terms have not taken place.
Israel Says Combat Operations Continue
Israel too dismissed the announcement, asserting that the military is still conducting active operations. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed that airstrikes and ground maneuvers are still underway in key conflict zones. Officials clarified that there has been no communication with the U.S. regarding a ceasefire deal brokered by Trump. Israeli Prime Minister emphasized that the security of their citizens remains the top priority.
Trump’s Statement Creates Confusion
Donald Trump’s post on social media, where he claimed to have influenced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, led to confusion globally. However, White House officials have not backed his statement, and no international body has confirmed any ceasefire. Analysts suggest that this statement may be politically motivated, especially with the U.S. elections approaching.
Global Reactions and On-Ground Situation
Countries like Russia, China, and France have called for restraint, but the situation remains volatile. Civilians continue to be affected, and humanitarian agencies have reported a growing crisis in the region. The United Nations has called for immediate dialogue but has not confirmed any ceasefire talks as of now.
