Iran Orders Military Units To Stop Firing
Iran’s supreme leader has ordered all military units to stop firing, according to a statement broadcast on Iranian state-run television shortly after President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran had reached a ceasefire arrangement. The development signals a major pause in direct hostilities, although Tehran has made clear that it does not consider the wider conflict fully over.
Iran Orders Military Units To Stop Firing
A statement read out on IRIB said all branches of Iran’s military were required to follow the supreme leader’s instruction and cease fire. The wording suggested that the order was immediate and binding across Iran’s armed structure, even while also stressing that this should not be seen as the formal end of the war. The message appeared to be aimed at enforcing discipline across military units as the ceasefire moved into effect.
US Iran Ceasefire Deal Takes Effect
The order came around two hours after Trump said Washington and Tehran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Reports say the pause in fighting is linked to broader negotiations expected to begin in Islamabad, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining central to the understanding between the two sides. The ceasefire is being described as provisional and conditional rather than a final peace settlement.
Iran Says War Is Not Yet Over
Even as the ceasefire takes hold, Iran’s public messaging has remained cautious. By saying the halt in firing is not the end of the war, Tehran has signalled that it still sees the conflict as unresolved and that future military action remains possible if the arrangement collapses. That framing underlines how fragile the current pause remains despite the breakthrough in diplomacy.
