According to CoinMeta, on the 2nd, Iran's Mehr News Agency quoted an Iranian military official as saying that U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that Iran requested to stop attacking was “a new lie.” The official stated, “Whether he continues to invade or retreats, our forces are in a state of high alert and are prepared for all possibilities. If confrontation becomes inevitable, the battlefield will decide everything, and then everyone will understand who holds the power and who will have the final say.”
