Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says that it will respect a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump provided that Israel also upholds its terms.

“If the Zionist regime does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either,” Pezeshkian says during a phone conversation with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, according to the presidency’s website.
