Trump Announces Ceasefire in Israel-Iran '12 Day War'

President Donald Trump announced on Monday a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, ending the '12 day war' sparked by a US airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities. The announcement was presented by Trump as a validation of his strategic decision to conduct the airstrike.

According to Trump, the ceasefire was agreed upon by both nations, although specifics of the agreement remain unclear. The phased ceasefire was scheduled to begin with Iran, followed by Israel joining 12 hours later, totaling a 24-hour cessation of hostilities.

The White House reposted Trump's announcement with an image of the president holding a hat that read "Trump was right about everything." Despite the ceasefire, the stability of the Middle East remains uncertain, as the bombing has slowed Iran's nuclear ambitions but potentially increased their resolve.
