Iran Israel Ceasefire: Iran-Israel conflict finally stopped! Trump announces ceasefire

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, aimed at ending the ongoing 12-day war. The announcement, made via his social media platform Truth Social, claims that both nations have agreed to a phased cessation of hostilities. However, as of now, there has been no official confirmation from the governments of either Iran or Israel.

According to Trump's statement, Iran is expected to begin the ceasefire process immediately, with Israel to follow 12 hours later. “In about 6 hours from now, when both Israel and Iran complete their final missions, the war will end,” Trump wrote. He added that the full ceasefire would be in effect within 24 hours and declared, “The whole world will salute this historic moment.”

Tensions Escalated After U.S. Military Action

The ceasefire announcement follows a dramatic escalation in the region. Just a day earlier, the U.S. allegedly launched attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities, a move that significantly heightened regional tensions. The U.S. action was widely seen as support for Israel, which has been engaged in direct conflict with Iran.

In response to the U.S. strikes, Iran reportedly launched missile attacks on American military bases in Doha, Qatar. These retaliatory actions raised serious concerns about a wider war involving multiple countries in the Middle East.

No Official Word from Iran or Israel Yet

Despite Trump’s public statement, neither Iran nor Israel has issued any formal acknowledgment or response to the proposed ceasefire. Sources indicate that behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts are underway, and there is cautious optimism that both nations might respond positively to the ceasefire plan.

International bodies, including the United Nations and the European Union, have not yet commented on Trump’s announcement but are closely monitoring the developments.

A Diplomatic Gamble?

While Trump’s declaration has made headlines, analysts remain uncertain about the authenticity and durability of the ceasefire in the absence of official endorsements from the warring parties. Diplomats suggest that if the ceasefire holds, it could pave the way for broader negotiations and de-escalation in one of the world's most volatile regions.

More updates are expected as the situation evolves and official statements from Iran, Israel, or the Biden administration are released.
