Trump's claim of direct talks with Iran false and a 'cover to escape war': IRGC
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has firmly denied the claim made by US President Donald Trump regarding Iran contacting him directly to end the bombing.
In a statement early on Thursday, the IRGC’s public relations office said the US president’s claim is “a cover to escape war."
Earlier, some local news agencies had also rejected the claim, citing security sources.
A report in Tasnim News Agency called the claim an “absolute lie” and said Iran will give a “crushing response” to the latest act of US military aggression against Iran.
Trump told a Fox News correspondent that Iran had called him and asked him to stop bombing, adding that the bombing “will stop shortly."
In the wee hours of Thursday morning, fresh explosions were reported across parts of Iran's Hormozgan province and other southern regions of the country, as the US military confirmed launching a new wave of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic.

According to reports, explosions were heard in the counties of Sirik and Qeshm in Hormozgan, while air defense systems became active on Qeshm Island.
The attack followed the aggression carried out two days ago in the same region, which targeted, among other sites, two civilian water reservoirs in the coastal province.
Shortly after the US military launched a fresh act of aggression against Iran early on Thursday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy warned that any vessel approaching the strategic waterway would face decisive action.
