U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran and Israel have agreed to a complete ceasefire "that will end the 12-day war between the two countries."
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the ceasefire will begin in about six hours, with Iran stopping first. Israel will follow 12 hours later, and the war will be officially over 24 hours from the start of the truce.
“This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t — and never will,” Trump wrote.
He praised both countries for agreeing to stop the fighting and said the world would “salute” the end of the conflict.
Trump ended his message with a blessing:
“God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world!”
However, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there is no ceasefire agreement with Israel, while Israel has not made any direct comment on the matter.
Trump expects Israel-Iran ceasefire to last ‘forever’
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he believes the ceasefire between Israel and Iran will last indefinitely.
In an interview with NBC News, Trump called it “a great day for America and the Middle East” and expressed satisfaction for helping end the conflict.
He warned the war could have caused widespread devastation, saying, “A lot of people were dying, and it was only going to get worse.”
