Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Tuesday that it will respect a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump provided that Israel also upholds its terms.
“If the Zionist regime does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either,” Pezeshkian said during a phone conversation with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, according to the presidency's website.
Earlier, several Iranian media outlets reported on Tuesday afternoon the sound of explosions in the country's north, after US President Donald Trump said an Iran-Israel ceasefire was now “in effect.”
The Etemad and Ham Mihan newspapers said explosions were heard and air defences were activated in Babol and Babolsar, two towns about 200 kilometres northeast of Tehran on the Caspian Sea.
The source of the explosions was not immediately clear.
