Russian outlets reported a chaotic cycle of Iran-Israel ceasefire announcements and collapses within hours. Trump initially declared a truce ending the "12-day war," but Iran's Foreign Minister quickly denied any agreement existed. By morning, both countries confirmed the ceasefire, with Trump warning against violations.
The arrangement disintegrated rapidly. Israel accused Iran of launching new rockets despite the truce and threatened retaliation. Iran declared victory and rejected Israeli accusations. Trump's frustration escalated throughout the day, with outlets quoting his profanity-laden demands for both sides to cease hostilities.
By evening, Israel's military chief announced the campaign against Iran remained unfinished, contradicting earlier victory claims. Russian coverage positioned Moscow as welcoming any truce while reporting Iran's requests for new air defense systems from Putin after Israeli strikes destroyed previous ones.
