JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi thanked the Iranian armed forces. He called the military operation against Israel "continued until the last minute," hinting that hostilities may have ended.

"Our strong Armed Forces military operation to punish Israel for its aggression continues until the last minute, at 4 am," Araghchi said in a post on X.

Earlier, Araghchi said Iran would stop its military response if Israel stopped its attack on Iran at 04.00 a.m. local time in Tehran, which would be 30 minutes ahead of Israel.

Araghchi's latest post comes just after 4 am in Israel.

"Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our beloved country to the last drop of blood, and who responded to every enemy attack until the last minute," he continued.

An Iranian official confirmed Tehran had agreed to a ceasefire, but there had been no immediate comment from Israel.
