Iran's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran seeking a ceasefire as "false and baseless," according to state-run Press TV.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei pushed back against Trump's remarks on social media platform Truth Social that the Iranian president "has just asked the United States of America for a ceasefire."

Trump added, "We will consider when the Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!"

Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications at the Iranian president's office, also dismissed Trump's claim in a post on social media platform X.

"Iran's position regarding the patriotic defense of the country's integrity against the aggression of the evil forces, and the preconditions for ending the imposed war has not changed at all, and no attention is paid to the criminals' delusions and lies," Tabatabaei said, adding that, "The Iranian nation, determined, steadfast, and united, is defending the integrity of its homeland."

Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities on Feb. 28, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes against Israel and U.S. assets in the region, while tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz by restricting passage to vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States.

Trump has repeatedly claimed in recent days that Iran is seeking negotiations to end the war.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi acknowledged that messages have been exchanged between Iran and the United States through intermediaries over the past few days, but stressed that no negotiations have taken place.
