"Iran has not agreed to a ceasefire. Trump is lying again" (Headline from Tehran Times) [View all]

Iran has not agreed to a ceasefire. Trump is lying again

June 24, 2025 - 2:24

TEHRAN - The Tehran Times understands that Donald Trump's claim of an incoming ceasefire between Iran and Israel is another one of the American president's lies aimed at pressuring the country.

Trump took to social media in the early hours of Tuesday to announce that the two sides had "fully agreed" to a ceasefire, effective in approximately 12 hours.

The president appears to be making up a new lie to force the Iranian government into accepting a ceasefire, believing that the move could pit the Iranian people against the officials and create domestic dissent.

Trump previously lied about needing "two weeks" to decide whether he would attack Iran's nuclear sites. He also engaged Iran in indirect talks for five rounds while he had already decided that he would have Israel attack the country's nuclear, military, and civilian infrastructure.

The Tehran Times is an English-language daily newspaper published in Iran, founded in 1979 as the self-styled "voice of the Islamic Revolution". While not state-owned, it is considered state-controlled and closely tied to the hardline factions within the Iranian government.
