Trump's ceasefire status is unclear. Iran sets conditions.

Tensions in the Middle East may be easing, following contrasting but potentially converging statements from both Iran and U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a possible ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

Speaking at a campaign rally, Trump claimed, “Iran and Israel have agreed on a ceasefire,” suggesting behind-the-scenes negotiations may have led to a breakthrough. However, Iranian officials have offered a more cautious stance. A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry stated, “We will halt operations only if Israel ends its illegal aggression.”

The differing narratives highlight the fragility of the situation. While Trump’s assertion points to a diplomatic breakthrough, Iran’s statement underlines that any de-escalation is strictly conditional.

International observers remain wary but hopeful. The global community continues to urge restraint, emphasizing that any ceasefire must be grounded in mutual commitment to peace and international law.

As of now, no official ceasefire agreement has been confirmed by Israeli authorities.
