Iran's Foreign Minister rejects Trump's statement about the ceasefire order.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi declared on Tuesday morning that "there is no agreement on a ceasefire or the cessation of military activities" between Iran and Israel, dismissing the earlier statement by U.S. President Donald Trump that the two sides had agreed to a "permanent" halt to hostilities.

The statement made by Araghchi was posted on social media X at 4:16 AM Tehran time (7:46 AM Vietnam time): "If the Israeli regime ends its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 AM, we will not continue to respond."

This statement was made right after Mr. Trump spoke on NBC News that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran "will last forever." On Truth Social, he wrote: "I congratulate both nations, Israel and Iran, for having the courage, bravery, and wisdom to end what should be called the '12-Day War.'"

According to a diplomat revealed to NBC News, the ceasefire agreement was mediated by President Donald Trump along with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. U.S. Vice President JD Vance is also said to have coordinated with the Prime Minister of Qatar to negotiate the terms with the Iranian side.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to issue evacuation warnings for residents in two areas of Tehran ahead of airstrikes targeting Iran's military infrastructure.

Despite the declaration of a ceasefire, tensions have not completely cooled down. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wrote on X: "Those who understand the Iranian people and their history know that Iran is not a subdued nation."

On the American side, Mr. Trump thanked Iran for the prior notice about the missile attack on the Al Udeid base of America in Qatar, which helped avoid casualties. Right after that, the U.S. Embassy in Doha lifted the shelter-in-place order, and Qatar also quickly reopened its airspace just 6 hours after the attack.

The American financial market reacted positively as the Dow Jones rose nearly 375 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also moving up. The price of Bitcoin surged to $106,000. Crude oil prices fell more than 7% to $68.51 per barrel as investors eased concerns about supply disruptions from the Persian Gulf.

Meanwhile, U.S. security agencies warn businesses to be vigilant against the risk of cyberattacks from Iran – a country with cyber warfare capabilities comparable to those of major powers, according to TrustedSec.
