In a major diplomatic development, US President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, two countries locked in a high-stakes conflict in the Middle East. The announcement comes just a day after a reported US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, adding a dramatic backdrop to the breakthrough.

According to Trump, both nations have agreed to a structured ceasefire that will begin in phases. Iran is set to initiate the ceasefire first, followed by Israel after a 12-hour interval. If maintained, the ceasefire will mark the official end of a 12-day conflict that had the potential to escalate into a full-blown regional war.
In his statement, Trump congratulated both sides for agreeing to halt the hostilities, emphasizing that the decision showcases “courage and wisdom” from both governments. He described the ceasefire as a crucial step that could prevent long-term devastation across the Middle East. “This war could have lasted for years and destroyed the entire region, but it didn’t. And it never will,” Trump stated. He concluded with a prayerful blessing for all parties involved, including Israel, Iran, the Middle East, and the wider world.
While Trump's declaration has drawn global attention, no official confirmation has yet been issued by the governments of Israel or Iran. However, sources suggest that back-channel diplomatic efforts may have contributed to the breakthrough.
