WASHINGTON – United States (US) President Donald Trump announced on Monday that a ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Iran, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
“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!
“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,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
He made the announcement just hours after Iran launched a missile strike on a US military base in Qatar.
In his post, Trump added that the attack caused no injuries, adding that “in addition to no Americans being killed or wounded, very importantly, there have also been no Qataris killed or wounded.”
Hostilities broke out on June 13 when Israel launched air strikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes. – June 24, 2025
