Israel and Iran agree on ceasefire to end war, Trump says

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

"On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR'," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

But Iran’s foreign minister said there would be no cessation of hostilities unless Israel stopped its attacks.

Iran’s FM Abbas Araqchi said early on Tuesday that if Israel stopped its "illegal aggression" against the Iranian people no later than 4 a.m. Tehran time (0030 GMT) on Tuesday, Iran had no intention of continuing its response afterwards.

There have been no reported Israeli attacks on Iran since that time.

"The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later," Araqchi added in a post on X.

A senior White House official said Trump had brokered the deal in a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel had agreed so long as Iran did not launch further attacks, according to Reuters.
