Trump: Israel, Iran agreed to ‘total’ ceasefire

United States President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Iran and Israel have agreed to a “complete and total” ceasefire. The ceasefire will begin in “approximately six hours from now” after each country has “wound down” their “final missions,” Trump said. The peace process will involve two 12-hour ceasefire periods, starting with Iran. Israel will then follow with the second 12-hour ceasefire and “upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World,” Trump wrote. Both Israel and Iran have yet to confirm they agreed to the ceasefire. Trump stressed that during each ceasefire stage, the other side will keep “peaceful and respectful.” He also congratulated both parties, “on the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will,” for ending a conflict that, he said, “could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East.”
