Iran’s military has accused Israel of carrying out several rounds of airstrikes on Iranian territory despite a ceasefire declaration made by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

In a televised statement on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces claimed, “The Zionist regime launched three separate waves of attacks on Iranian targets up until 9:00 a.m. (0530 GMT) today.”

No additional information about the alleged strikes was provided by Iranian authorities.

These accusations surfaced just hours after Trump announced what he described as a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE” between Israel and Iran via his Truth Social platform late Monday.

“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote, stating that the ceasefire would commence at around 4:00 a.m. GMT on Tuesday, ending what he called a “12-day war.”

Despite Trump’s declaration, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed claims of any official ceasefire agreement.

Taking to his verified account (formerly Twitter), Araghchi stated, “There is no agreement yet on a ceasefire. However, if the Zionist regime halts its unlawful attacks, Tehran will respond accordingly.”
