Iran and Israel have agreed to end hostilities, US President Donald Trump claimed on Monday evening. The announcement came hours after Iran fired missiles at a US military base in Qatar, in response to American strikes on its nuclear facilities.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” he added.
“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR,” Trump wrote.
Neither Tehran nor West Jerusalem has reacted to the announcement. Unconfirmed reports on social media claimed that Israel continued striking targets in Tehran after Trump’s post.
An Iranian official told CNN that Tehran has not received any ceasefire proposal and would view Trump’s remarks as “a deception.”
“At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies,” the official said.
Reuters, however, cited a senior Iranian official who confirmed that Tehran had agreed to the ceasefire.
Open war between Israel and Iran broke out on June 13, when the IDF launched strikes on military and nuclear facilities across Iran and carried out assassinations of senior Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran, which denies having a military nuclear program, responded by firing missiles into Israel.
On June 22, US B-2 bombers struck three Iranian nuclear sites, including uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz and Fordow. The following day, Iran fired missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
