Iran announced it will deliver its response to a proposed agreement with the United States within minutes, according to Iranian state-linked channels. The statement comes after hours of conflicting signals and amid assessments of an expected retaliatory strike against Israel within the same timeframe.
At 00:39 Jerusalem time, Iranian state-linked channels reported that Tehran will deliver its formal response to the proposed US agreement "within minutes." The announcement caps an evening of starkly conflicting signals from Iranian officials: earlier reports had ranged from statements that no deal is imminent (The Zioneer, 21:24) to a flurry of assessments in Israel that a retaliatory strike against Israel is expected between 00:30 and 03:00 tonight (The Zioneer, 23:04). The precise nature of the response — whether it approves the text as reported by Fars News, demands amendments, or rejects the framework — remains unknown. A previous assessment that Iran would retaliate within this timeframe, attributed to an unnamed source and reported by Israeli media, has not been confirmed by any official authority. The coming minutes will clarify whether the response is diplomatic, military, or both.
