Iranian media denies a claim attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran asked the United States not to carry out any strike. Both reports say Iran’s Mehr news agency rejects the allegation, calling it “nothing but a new lie.” Mehr also states that Iran’s armed forces are “on high alert and ready for any eventuality.” The reports cite Iranian military officials in support of the denial. While Trump’s claim is not substantiated in the sources provided, the Iranian response emphasizes readiness for potential scenarios rather than any request to avoid action. The statements present the denial as a direct rebuttal to the alleged message to Washington, and they do not provide additional detail about any specific diplomatic exchanges. Based on the available information, the main points are that Mehr rejects the alleged request and describes the military posture as heightened, with forces prepared for possible developments.
