US President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed that Iran’s president wanted a ceasefire ahead of the former’s speech tonight to the American people.
Trump made the claim on his Truth Social website.
Iran had no immediate response to Trump’s post. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an interview with Al Jazeera aired late Tuesday signalled Tehran’s willingness to keep fighting.
“You cannot speak to the people of Iran in the language of threats and deadlines,” he said. “We do not set any deadline for defending ourselves.”
