Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi thanked Iran’s armed forces and said military operations against Israel “continued until the very last minute,” hinting that hostilities may have ended.

“The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute, at 4 a.m.” Araghchi said in a post on X.

Earlier, Araghchi had said Iran would halt its military response if Israel stopped its strikes on Iran by 4 a.m. local time in Tehran, which is 30 minutes ahead of Israel. Araghchi’s latest post came just after 4 a.m. in Israel.

“Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last minute.”
