Iran's Foreign Ministry denied the words of the US president

Official spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ismail Baghaei denied the claims of US President Donald Trump that his Iranian counterpart had requested a ceasefire.

He made the corresponding statement in a comment to the Al Jazeera television channel.

"Trump's claims that we asked for a ceasefire are false," Baghaei stated.

Earlier, Trump claimed that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had appealed to the US administration with a request for a ceasefire.

American leader Donald Trump claims that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has appealed to the US administration with a request for a ceasefire.

"The President of the new regime in Iran, far less radical and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a ceasefire," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

"We will consider [this request] when the Strait of Hormuz is open, free, and clear," the American leader noted. According to him, until then the US intends to continue striking Iran.
