Iran did not ask the US to halt its planned strikes.
Open Claimed by Islamic Republic of Iran Army on 2 August 2026.
The statement
Iranian military sources quoted by Mehr called Trump's claim that Tehran had asked Washington to halt strikes a new lie aimed at pressuring Gulf states, said Iranian forces were at the highest readiness, and warned that if confrontation became inevitable the battlefield would decide.

Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-11-02 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record carries Trump's statement that Tehran and Middle Eastern countries asked for a delay and a Channel 12 report of Qatari talks with Iran, the US and Oman (ev-20261027-4azc); nothing independent shows whether Iran itself asked for a halt. Next check on the ladder from 2026-08-02 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
