President Trump has announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete and total ceasefire, bringing an official end to what he called “The 12 Day War.” The ceasefire is set to begin approximately six hours after his post, once both countries complete final military operations. Iran will begin the first 12-hour ceasefire period, followed by Israel. If both sides comply, the war will be officially declared over after 24 hours.

In his statement, Trump praised the “stamina, courage, and intelligence” of both nations for agreeing to peace and preventing a broader regional conflict. He claimed the war could have lasted for years and destroyed the Middle East, but insisted it “didn’t, and never will.” No details were provided about how the ceasefire was brokered, whether it was mediated by the United States or another party, or how it will be enforced or monitored.

The post closes with a series of blessings for Israel, Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, declaring, “God bless the world.” This is the first formal acknowledgment of a negotiated pause in fighting between the two countries since the conflict began. Independent verification of the ceasefire or its terms has not yet been released.
