President Donald Trump announced Monday night, through his Truth Social platform, that Israel and Iran had reportedly agreed in principle to a ceasefire. According to his post, the cessation of hostilities would take place in a series of stages over a 24-hour period, with the expectation that the conflict, which Trump referred to as the "12-Day War," would officially conclude at the end of that period.
According to Trump, the ceasefire timeline would be as follows: Iran would begin observing the ceasefire at 12:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, followed by Israel, which would start its cessation of hostilities at 12:00 p.m. on the same day.
Finally, at 12:00 a.m. on Wednesday, it would be considered that hostilities between both countries had completely ceased, bringing the war to an end. During each phase of this staggered agreement, the opposing party was expected to remain "peaceful and respectful."

Trump enthusiastically celebrated the agreement, congratulating all parties involved and emphasizing that the ceasefire would be "complete and total." However, at the time of his post, there was no official confirmation from either Israel or Iran regarding acceptance of these terms.
Shortly after Trump's announcement, a senior Iranian official categorically denied the existence of any ceasefire proposal. In statements to CNN, the official stated that Iran had not received any formal offer and saw no reason to halt its military operations.
Additionally, he accused Israel and the United States of using false statements as a strategy to "justify attacks" against Iranian interests.
The official added that Iran is currently intensifying its reprisals and is not willing to listen to what he considers "lies coming from its enemies."
