Just hours after President Donald Trump stunned the world with news that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE”, Iran is now denying the entire deal, calling the announcement “a deception” from the U.S. and Israel.
A senior Iranian official told CNN that Tehran “has not received any ceasefire proposal” and vowed to continue fighting until it achieves what it calls “lasting peace.”
“Iran would continue to fight until it achieves lasting peace,” the Iranian official said. “At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies.”
This stunning about-face from Tehran comes less than 24 hours after President Trump confidently announced that the 12-day war between Israel and Iran would soon come to a peaceful close.
Trump’s Announcement: Clear, Decisive, Hopeful
On Truth Social, President Trump declared that both sides had agreed to a phased ceasefire:
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!”
He explained that Iran would begin the ceasefire first, followed by Israel after 12 hours, and if both phases held, the war would officially end:
“During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” Trump wrote.
The former president hailed it as a historic moment that averted a wider regional war and possibly decades of conflict:
“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!”
Now, Tehran is pouring cold water on the hope of peace, insisting the Trump administration’s announcement is nothing more than propaganda.
According to CNN’s unnamed Iranian source, not only was no ceasefire offered through official diplomatic channels, but Iran sees no reason for one—a blunt rejection of the idea of pausing hostilities at all.
“Iran has not received any ceasefire proposal and sees no reason for one,” the official told CNN. “It would view remarks from Israel and the US as a deception.”
This aggressive stance is consistent with the radical regime’s history of using diplomacy as a tactic—never a true objective.
Iran’s defiance may be rooted in one simple fact: it’s losing—and losing badly.
Following the massive U.S. precision airstrikes over the weekend, the Iranian nuclear program was hit hard. Three of its most critical sites—Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz—were devastated by the strikes, with 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs reportedly used to destroy deeply buried nuclear infrastructure.
Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that the Iranian nuclear program was “obliterated”—and remarkably, no American lives were lost in the operation.
“President Trump obliterated the Iranian nuclear program without having a single American casualty,” Vance said, according to the New York Post.
In response to the strikes, Iran fired ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq. However, those attacks were reportedly intercepted and caused no damage—a humiliating show of weakness for the regime, which had promised fierce retaliation.
This may explain why Iranian officials are now denying the ceasefire—not because it wasn’t real, but because admitting it would look like surrender in the eyes of hardliners.
Despite Iran’s rejection, President Trump and his national security team remain confident in the course they’ve charted. According to officials familiar with the operation, the strikes severely degraded Iran’s ability to restart a nuclear program, effectively taking the most dangerous sites “off the table.”
As Breitbart previously reported, this strike was part of a calculated and limited mission aimed not at regime change, but at stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons—something even many world leaders on both sides of the aisle quietly support.
As the fog of war clears, and Iran’s messaging grows increasingly chaotic, one thing is clear: President Trump took decisive action where others hesitated—and the region is undeniably safer because of it.
Whether Iran eventually admits to the ceasefire agreement or continues its posturing, Trump has proven once again that peace doesn’t come from appeasement—it comes from strength, resolve, and American leadership.
Iran may pretend it never heard of Trump’s ceasefire deal—but the whole world saw what happened: America struck hard, Iran was stopped, and for at least a brief moment, peace was on the table.
It’s no wonder the left is furious—because once again, Trump got results.
