Trump Announces Israel-Iran Ceasefire: “The 12-Day War Is Over”
In a dramatic statement posted online, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced a full ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, signaling what he described as the official end to the 12-day war between the two nations.
In an unexpected and dramatic turn, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has declared a full ceasefire between Israel and Iran, marking what he called the official end of “The 12-Day War.”
The announcement, made via a personal online post, outlines a structured truce: Iran is expected to initiate the ceasefire, followed by Israel twelve hours later.
If all goes according to plan, the war will be officially over within 24 hours. Trump praised both countries for their courage and leadership, stating that the conflict, which could have expanded into years of regional devastation, has been halted decisively.
With no prior leaks or press briefings, the sudden statement has taken diplomats and media outlets by surprise, sparking intense speculation about behind-the-scenes negotiations.
The President’s wording — filled with optimism, religious references, and signature bravado — suggests this move is meant to cement his leadership role not only domestically, but globally. While official confirmation from Jerusalem and Tehran is still pending, Trump’s announcement is already sending shockwaves across the geopolitical landscape.
Ceasefire to Begin Within Hours
According to the President’s statement, a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE” will begin approximately six hours after the announcement, once both nations have completed their ongoing final missions. Iran will begin the ceasefire first. Twelve hours later, Israel will follow. After 24 hours, the international community is expected to recognize the formal end of hostilities.
“The war will be considered ENDED,” Trump said, emphasizing that both sides are to remain “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” throughout the ceasefire period.
Trump Praises Both Nations
President Trump praised both Israel and Iran for their “Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence” in reaching the ceasefire agreement. He labeled the conflict “The 12-Day War”, noting that it had the potential to evolve into a far longer and more destructive regional crisis.
“This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t — and never will!” Trump declared.
A Message of Global Optimism
The President concluded with a message of hope and unity, writing:
“God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”
Awaiting Official Confirmation
As of now, neither Israeli nor Iranian officials have formally confirmed the ceasefire described in Trump’s statement. Nevertheless, the announcement has drawn worldwide attention and could mark a pivotal shift in Middle Eastern diplomacy.
