After nearly two weeks of missile strikes, airstrikes, and rising casualties, Iran and Israel have stepped back from open conflict. A ceasefire was declared on Tuesday morning, bringing a tense but welcome pause to days of violence and uncertainty.
It began when US President Donald Trump took to his platform to announce a “complete and total ceasefire” between the two countries. According to diplomatic sources, the agreement was mediated by Qatar and backed by the United States. While Iran initially denied the claim, state run media later confirmed that military operations had ended after what they termed “four waves of retaliatory attacks.”
Israeli authorities reported that four people were killed and six injured in Iran’s final round of missile strikes launched even after the US announcement. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry signaled that its response to what it called “Israeli aggression” had concluded with no interest in extending the conflict further unless provoked.
The US President urged both sides to stick to the truce and commended them for what he called their “courage and intelligence” in ending the 12 day conflict. According to sources, the ceasefire included a brief window for both countries to carry out final operations before drawing the violence to a close.
Still things stayed tense. Just after the ceasefire was declared, Iran reportedly launched missiles at US bases in Iraq and Qatar. Most were stopped, but the attack showed that peace could break quickly.
