President Donald Trump announced today that Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, signaling the end of a brief but intense conflict he dubbed the “12 Day War.” The announcement, made via Truth Social, has sparked global attention as tensions in the Middle East appear to de-escalate.

Ceasefire Details Emerge

Trump revealed that a “complete and total” ceasefire will begin Tuesday morning local time, approximately six hours after his 6 p.m. EST post. The agreement stipulates two 12-hour ceasefire periods, starting with Iran, followed by Israel. After 24 hours, the conflict will be officially declared over. Trump wrote, “It has been fully agreed by & between Israel & Iran that there will be a Complete & Total CEASEFIRE… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Neither Israeli nor Iranian officials have publicly confirmed the deal, raising questions about its enforcement.

Context of the Conflict

The “12 Day War,” a term coined by Trump, refers to recent hostilities, including U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure. The conflict, though short, risked broader regional escalation. Trump’s announcement follows his earlier dismissal of Iran’s retaliatory attacks as “very weak,” urging both nations to seek peace.

Global Reaction and Uncertainty

Posts on X reflect mixed sentiment, with some users celebrating the news while others question its veracity. No details on mediation or monitoring have surfaced, leaving analysts cautious. The absence of statements from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei fuels skepticism.

A Step Toward Stability?

Trump’s declaration marks a potential turning point for Middle East stability, though its success hinges on compliance and transparency. The world watches as the ceasefire’s timeline unfolds, hoping for an end to hostilities. If upheld, this agreement could reshape regional dynamics, but its fragility demands vigilance from all parties involved.Sources: Business Insider, ABC News, Met Middleson, Iran International
