There are some conflicting reports around about what is supposed to happen in the coming hours in the Middle East around a proposed ceasefire.

Earlier, Iran's Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi said there was no "agreement" on any ceasefire between Israel and Iran, despite US President Donald Trump declaring one.

Confusingly, there’s a three-and-a-half-hour gap between when the Iranian Foreign Minister expected Israeli strikes to end, and when Donald Trump said his ceasefire deal would begin.

Let’s catch up on who said what.

Crowds filled the streets of Tehran on Saturday for the funeral of top Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists killed during a 12-day war with Israel. Among the dead were Revolutionary Guard chief Gen. Hossein Salami and missile program head Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh. Caskets were driven through Azadi Street as mourners chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” State media reported over 1 million attendees, though that figure could not be verified.⁠
⁠
The funeral was attended by senior officials, including Gen. Esmail Qaani and Gen. Ali Shamkhani, who was wounded in the initial Israeli strike. Shamkhani said he awoke for dawn prayer to find his home destroyed. “Suddenly everything around me had become ruins,” he said. In total, 60 people were honored, including women and children.⁠
⁠
Israel claims it killed 30 commanders and 11 scientists and struck eight nuclear sites. Iran launched more than 550 missiles in response, killing 28 people in Israel. President Donald Trump said talks with Iran could resume, but Iran’s parliament suspended cooperation with international inspectors. “If President Trump is genuine about wanting a deal,” wrote Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, “he should put aside the disrespectful and unacceptable tone towards Iran’s Supreme Leader.”⁠

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Iran was behind two failed assassination attempts on U.S. President Donald Trump. In a recent interview with Fox News, Netanyahu stated that these plots took place during Trump's 2024 election campaign, with one incident reportedly happening at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and another involving a suspicious individual at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club. He said that Iran views Trump as its "enemy number one" because of his firm stance against Iran's nuclear program and his role in authorizing the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

Netanyahu added that the assassination attempts were carried out through Iranian proxies and intelligence operatives. He also revealed that he himself had been a target of Iranian plots in the past. While these claims have raised significant concern, U.S. intelligence agencies have not officially confirmed Iran’s involvement, and Iran has denied the accusations, calling them baseless and politically motivated. The statements come at a time of heightened tension between Israel and Iran, with ongoing military strikes and threats being exchanged between the two nations.
