In a statement, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that any further Israeli aggression and malicious acts, including in southern Lebanon, would trigger a much more severe and crushing response.
Israel has decided to halt its strikes against Iran since the announcement. An Israeli official said that the decision came at the request of US President Donald Trump, but stressed Israel would not stop its offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Israeli media reported that President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke twice by phone on Monday. The first call came shortly after Iran launched a wave of ballistic missiles at Israel, calling the attack a response to Israel's military actions in Lebanon.
President Trump on Monday wrote on Truth Social that both Israel and Iran want an immediate ceasefire. “Final negotiations on ‘Peace’ are proceeding and the Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a ‘Final Deal’ is reached”, he wrote.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday said Iran's top priority remains safeguarding national security. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Monday that the “final objective” in peace negotiations between Iran and the United States is about to be achieved.
