A spokesperson for the office of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected Trump’s post on Truth Social claiming that Tehran had reached out to Washington for a peace deal.
“The stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the defense of the homeland against the onslaught of the forces of evil and the conditions for ending the imposed war has undergone no change, and there is no regard whatsoever for the delusions and lies of the criminal aggressors,” Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei wrote on X.
“The Iranian nation, resolute, steadfast, and united, defends the essence of its homeland. #unity is the key to our victory,” he added.
Esmail Baghaei, a spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, echoed the denial and slammed Trump’s announcement as “false and baseless,” according to state media.
