Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that Iran “never asked” for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States.

Araghchi denied President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran wanted a deal to end the conflict, but he rejected it. The foreign minister accused Trump of engaging in this conflict because he “wants to have fun,” and Iran will continue its “self-defense.”
