Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly rejected claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Tehran had sought a ceasefire, calling the statement “false and baseless,” according to state media reports.
The denial comes after Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran’s “new regime president” had requested a ceasefire, though he did not clarify who he was referring to. The comments have added confusion and tension to an already volatile situation.
