Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire

"US President Donald Trump declared that Israel and Iran had agreed to a phased ceasefire starting Tuesday at 0400 GMT, aiming to end nearly two weeks of fierce hostilities.

Trump hailed the deal as the end of “The 12 Day War.”

However, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied a formal truce, insisting Tehran would halt retaliation only if Israel ceased attacks. Trump's ceasefire announcement came after Iran had threatened and launched missile attacks on the largest US military base in Qatar.

According to Iranian media, the latest barrage of missiles was launched just before the ceasefire came into effect."

His remarks followed President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire with Iran—ending the fierce 12-Day War.
