[Iranian Foreign Minister Says US Must Choose One of Two Options] On the evening of April 8th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi posted on social media, stating, "The ceasefire terms between Iran and the United States are clear and unambiguous: the United States must make a choice—either a ceasefire or continue the war through Israel. The two are mutually exclusive. The world has witnessed the massacre in Lebanon. The ball is now in the US's court, and the whole world is watching whether it will honor its commitments." Araqchi quoted a statement from Pakistani Prime Minister Sheikh Shahbaz Sharif, the ceasefire mediator, which said, "Iran and the United States and their allies have agreed to an immediate ceasefire in all areas, including Lebanon and elsewhere, effective immediately."
