\n Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, the country\u2019s top security body, released a more fiery statement that confirmed the ceasefire but also portrayed the agreement as a victory.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe convey glad tidings to the great nation of Iran that nearly all of the war\u2019s objectives have been achieved, and your valiant sons have driven the enemy into a state of historic helplessness and enduring defeat,\u201d the statement read.\n <\/p>\n
\n The statement was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on by multiple Iranian state media outlets.\n <\/p>\n
\n The security council statement said talks between the US and Iran would take place in Islamabad and laid out key parts of the Tehran\u2019s 10-point plan.

\n \u201cOur hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force,\u201d the council warned.\n <\/p>\n
