U.S President, Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to end the 12-day conflict between the two countries.
According to Trump, the ceasefire will begin in approximately six hours, with Iran stopping its military operations first, followed by Israel 12 hours later.
The war will be officially considered over 24 hours after the start of the truce, with both sides expected to remain peaceful and respectful during the ceasefire.
Trump congratulated both countries on their courage to end the conflict, stating, “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world”.
However, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Araghchi sounded cautious, saying, “As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations”.
He added that Iran would halt its military operations if Israel stops its aggression against the Iranian people by 4 am Tehran time.
Explosions were heard in Tehran shortly after the Israeli army issued an evacuation alert, warning of possible strikes.
