‘It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” the U.S. president says on Truth Social.
President Donald Trump on June 23 announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire, declaring an end to what he referred to as “the 12 Day War.”
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Both sides will wind down their final military operations within 12 hours, beginning what Trump expects to be “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” on both sides. The conflict will be declared over within 24 hours, Trump said.
“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. “This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
