Iranian President Pezeshkian Pledges to Honor Ceasefire if Israel Complies
“If Israel does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either,” President Pezeshkian said during a phone call with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, according to a statement from the Iranian presidency.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday confirmed that Iran will adhere to a ceasefire agreement brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump—on the condition that Israel does the same.
“If Israel does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either,” President Pezeshkian said during a phone call with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, according to a statement from the Iranian presidency.
President Trump announced the deal earlier on his TRUTH Social platform, stating: “Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete and total ceasefire.” He outlined a phased de-escalation plan, with Iran initiating the ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later. At the 24-hour mark, the international community is expected to recognize the end of the 12-day war officially.
The statement marks the most concrete sign yet of a possible end to hostilities that have gripped the region. The international community has cautiously welcomed the development, urging all parties to adhere to the terms and prioritize long-term peace and stability.
