Trump Announces Agreement Between Israel and Iran on Ceasefire

President Donald Trump declared on Monday evening that a decision had been reached for a 'complete and total ceasefire' between Israel and Iran.

Trump posted on Truth Social that both nations had committed to an 'entire and absolute CEASEFIRE' to take place approximately six hours from then — right after Israel and Iran concluded their current, pending operations. This indefinite ceasefire, lasting 12 hours, would mark the official cessation of what he referred to as 'THE 12 DAY WAR.'

At the time of Trump's statement, neither Iran nor Israel released any official confirmations. Various news organizations have not yet corroborated Trump’s assertions with either government.

Trump further remarked, 'During this CEASEFIRE period, both sides will remain CALM and COURTEOUS,' adding his personal congratulations to both Israel and Iran for their 'Endurance, Bravery, and Wisdom' in concluding the conflict, which he remarked could have prolonged and escalated throughout the Middle East.

This announcement follows an escalation where Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar on the same day, a reaction to the previous weekend's U.S. strikes on several significant Iranian nuclear facilities. Though Iran had indicated a potential retaliation, the U.S. reported no casualties from their missile attack.
