Announces Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran, Trump Confirms

Washington D.C., June 24, 2025 – In a significant diplomatic development, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a "complete and total" ceasefire between Iran and Israel, set to take effect within six hours. The ceasefire is expected to last 12 hours, providing a critical window to de-escalate the ongoing hostilities.

“It has been totally agreed by and between Iran and Israel that there will be a COMPLETE and TOTAL CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted on social media, confirming that the truce would begin once both nations complete their ongoing operations.

Qatar Plays Key Role in Mediation

A senior Iranian official, speaking to Reuters, confirmed that Iran has accepted the U.S.-proposed and Qatar-mediated ceasefire. This marks a rare moment of diplomatic cooperation in a region often marked by deep-rooted tensions.

Temporary Truce, Long-Term Uncertainty

While the ceasefire is initially limited to a 12-hour period, officials on both sides have hinted that further negotiations could follow, depending on the success of this temporary pause in hostilities.

The deal is viewed as a strategic step toward de-escalation and comes amid mounting international pressure to avoid a broader regional war.
