Israel-Iran War / Trump announced ceasefire, Iran said- no agreement yet, Israel should stop attacks first

Israel-Iran War: The war between Iran and Israel in the Middle East has entered its 12th day today. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump announced a "complete and comprehensive" ceasefire between the two countries. However, Iran has completely rejected Trump's announcement. Tehran says that there has been no agreement on any kind of ceasefire or end of military operations.

Iranian Foreign Minister's condition: "If Israel stops, we will also stop"

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made it clear that he is not interested in continuing the war, provided that Israel stops its attacks by 4 am. He reiterated that the war was started by Israel, and if it stops its military action, Iran will also stop retaliatory attacks.

Araghchi said on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), "If Israeli attacks stop by 4 am Tehran time, we will also stop attacks. We have no long-term war objective."

Israel's response: Alert issued, no change in guidelines

Despite the ceasefire announced by Trump, the Israeli Defense Forces remain alert. They have clarified that there has been no change in the guidelines of the Home Front Command. Citizens have been appealed to get instructions only from official sources and follow them.

Trump claims: "Ceasefire will last forever"

Former President Trump described the ceasefire as a "great day" and said that this ceasefire will be permanent. He said, "I am happy that this conflict was stopped. This is a victory for both the Middle East and America. I don't think Iran and Israel will ever shoot at each other again."

Iranian media's counter-attack: "This is just an attempt to divert attention"

The Iranian media has strongly countered Trump's ceasefire proposal. They called it "false and misleading" and said that this is just a strategy to divert the attention of the international community. They say that no official agreement has been reached yet and the US is using this issue for its political benefit.

The sensitivity of the Middle East and the presence of America

The Middle East is strategically very important for the US. Around 45,000 US soldiers are deployed here, including:

Syria - 2000

Iraq - 2500

Qatar - 10000

Kuwait - 13500

Jordan - 3813

Saudi Arabia - 2700

Bahrain - 9000

UAE - 3500

It is clear from this that any instability in the region can have a direct impact on the US and its interests.
