Martial arts genre seeks boost with summer film

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated willingness for a ceasefire in a message on X in response to claims made by US President Donald Trump regarding a potential ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

"As Iran has repeatedly made clear, Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around," Araghchi wrote on X.

"As of now, there is NO 'agreement' on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations.

"However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards," he stressed.

The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later, he added.
