Also just a little odd, PressTV reported the ceasefire confirmation from Arraghchi's twitter. Might not be terrible to consider that twitter is a US company both in legality and server location. Not saying this happened or I'm trying to do cope here, but it's at least possible this is information warfare. Just seems like such a bizarre time to stomp on the brakes.

Like in the screenshot I posted of the PressTV feed, they were in the middle of talking about how the "ceasefire" was a ploy by the US. The bulletin on the screen confirmed that too. Then the anchor who was talking suddenly announced there is a ceasefire according to Araghchi's twitter account, then read the text of that tweet. No other sources were cited.
