Iranian state media announces ceasefire deal “imposed on the enemy”
From CNN’s Alex StambaughIranian state media announced Tuesday a ceasefire has been “imposed on the enemy” after the country’s military response to “US aggression,” hours after Iran’s retaliatory attacks against a US base in Qatar.
“The Sepah (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) successful missile operations in response to US aggression and the exemplary steadfastness and unity of our dear people in defending our land, has imposed ceasefire on the enemy,” an anchor with state-run Iran National News Network said in a live broadcast.
The anchor did not give a time for when the ceasefire would take place.
US President Donald Trump requested the ceasefire between Iran and Israel “in a begging-like manner” shortly after Iran’s strikes toward the US’s Al Udeid base in Qatar, the anchor said.
“Last evening, only an hour after the successful missile attack by the Sepah on America’s Al Udeid Base in Qatar, in a begging-like manner of urging, Trump requested the initiation of a ceasefire in the imposed Zionist enemy war against our country,” the anchor said“
