US-Iran Tensions Escalate Amidst Ongoing Attacks and Rejection of Trump's Claims

Tensions in the Middle East between the United States and Iran continue. Even after the agreement was reached, the United States has launched several attacks on Iran, which are also being responded to by Tehran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran has appealed to the United States not to launch any further attacks. However, Iran's state media has completely rejected this claim and said that the country is ready to face any situation. Iran's Mehr News Agency on Sunday (1 August 2026) refuted Donald Trump's claim that Iran had demanded the United States to stop new attacks. The agency said that Iran's retaliation is clear that it has not made any request to the United States. Military officials were quoted by Mehr News Agency as saying that this claim is a new lie. According to officials, the Iranian military is on high alert and is ready to face any situation. Trump said on Saturday that the United States is also ready to act against Iran.
