The Iranian Fars news agency reports that Iran has decided not to strike Israel after President Trump offered an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the immediate lifting of the naval blockade, according to the semi-official outlet affiliated with the IRGC. Separately, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated that a permanent end to the war on all fronts will be declared from tonight. No official confirmation from Washington or Jerusalem has been published.
The Iranian Fars news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, reported at around 01:00 Jerusalem time that Iran has decided not to strike Israel after President Trump offered an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and an immediate lifting of the naval blockade. This development follows the Israeli strike in Beirut's Dahiyeh earlier today.
The story has evolved rapidly through the night. At 20:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Fars first stated Iran had abandoned a planned strike, with Israeli journalist Amit Segal (N12) relaying the claim. Within minutes, a second thread entry at 20:24 cited The New York Times confirming the decision to cancel the missile fire planned for tonight. Multiple subsequent entries, all timestamped 20:24, documented the same core report from Iranian sources. At 22:49, Lebanese sources were cited describing a US offer tying Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon to Iranian restraint. An hour earlier, at 22:01, Iran had denied accepting economic incentives from Trump for restraint, insisting it would not abandon allies; the IRGC had reportedly decided on a response at that stage. By 01:01, Iran said Trump's concessions led it to shelve retaliation, and at 01:00, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister declared a permanent end to the war on all fronts. The shift from denial to public acceptance of a diplomatic off-ramp is the core evolution across the thread.
As The Zioneer reported on June 14 at 22:49, Lebanese sources had outlined a US proposal for Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in exchange for no Iranian retaliation, a framework that now appears confirmed by the Fars report. Earlier on June 8, The Zioneer noted Israeli assessments that Iran was backing down from its tough posture, and an article that same day described Tehran's attempts to establish a new deterrent over Lebanon.
The Fars report and the deputy minister's statement remain the clearest public signals of a deal, but they originate from a single Iranian channel cited by Israeli journalists. No official confirmation from Washington, Jerusalem, or any neutral third party has been published. The scope and terms of the alleged Trump offer — specifically whether it includes formal Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and lifting the blockade — have not been corroborated by any Israeli or US official.
