Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s first reaction to Donald Trump’s ceasefire announcement has come to light. He has ordered Iran’s army to stop firing, but has also warned that this is not the end of the war. Iran has made it clear that the ceasefire does not mean the end of the war and a befitting reply will be given to any action taken by the enemy.
“This is not the end of the war, but all military branches should follow the Supreme Leader’s order and stop firing,” Khamenei said in a statement read on state channel Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).
Trump had announced ceasefire
In a statement issued after the ceasefire was announced, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said, ‘It is clarified that this does not mean the end of the war. Our hands are on the trigger and if the enemy makes even the slightest mistake, it will be responded to with full force.
Trump said in a social media post, ‘I agree to postpone the bombing and attack on Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a bilateral ceasefire. He said that based on the talks with Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, I have stopped the destructive military force. This has been done on the condition of completely opening and securing the Strait of Hormuz.
The US President said, ‘I have received a 10-point proposal from Iran and we believe this is a viable basis for negotiations. There has been agreement between America and Iran on almost all the disputed issues of the past.
