Iran Denies Ceasefire Despite Trump’s Announcement of Deal With Israel
Iran’s foreign ministry has denied that a ceasefire has been formally agreed with Israel, casting doubt over claims made just hours earlier by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that “no agreement” has been reached, though Tehran “has no intention” of continuing further strikes unless Israel resumes “its illegal aggression.”
Meanwhile, Israeli forces ordered new evacuation zones in Tehran, reportedly preparing for the possibility of further escalation despite U.S. mediation and Qatari diplomatic outreach.
Background: U.S. Strikes and Nuclear Fallout
The developments come after the U.S. launched massive precision airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities — including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan — over the weekend. U.S. Vice President JD Vance claimed the strikes had crippled Iran’s nuclear programme, stating on Fox News:
“Iran is now incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it.”
What Happens Next?
While there is international pressure for both sides to hold fire, mixed signals from Tehran and Washington mean the fate of the ceasefire remains uncertain.

The U.S., Israel, and Gulf allies remain on high alert, with British and American embassies in the region issuing “shelter in place” advisories to nationals.
