U.S. President Donald Trump has officially announced that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel is now in effect. He shared the news on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating that both countries have agreed to stop all military actions and bring the conflict to an end.
Trump called the agreement a major step toward peace in the Middle East. He urged both sides to respect the deal and avoid further escalation. The President stressed the need for stability in the region and said that continuing violence would only harm innocent people and damage global security.
The ceasefire comes after days of high tension and military strikes between the two nations. Trump mentioned that the agreement was reached after intense talks and cooperation between various countries, including Qatar, which helped mediate the discussion with Iran.
According to Trump, both Iran and Israel will complete any ongoing missions within six hours, and the ceasefire will be fully in place after 12 hours. He congratulated all parties involved in the negotiations and expressed hope that this would mark the beginning of long-term peace in the region.
A White House official later confirmed that Trump had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and that other senior U.S. leaders were also in communication with Iranian representatives. The announcement has been met with cautious optimism from the international community, hoping it will prevent further conflict and bring calm to the region.
