Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi published another tweet, hinting at the start of a ceasefire, writing: "The military operations of our strong forces intended to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the last moment, at 4:00 AM." Despite earlier claiming there was no "agreement," Araghchi added: "Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave forces who were ready to defend our dear country to the last drop of blood and who responded to every enemy attack until the last moment."
