In a surprising turn of events, US President Donald Trump revealed on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a phased ceasefire, expected to be fully implemented over 24 hours. This announcement follows a recent US military strike on three Iranian nuclear sites.
The White House amplified Trump's announcement by sharing his social media post, indicating that the cessation of hostility would mark an 'Official END' to ongoing warfare. Notably, the Israeli military and the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remained silent, while Iranian media continued to report airstrikes.
Vice President JD Vance described the conflict and subsequent agreement as a pivotal reset for the region, emphasizing America's intent to dissuade Iran from pursuing nuclear capabilities in the future. The ceasefire's enactment is slated to begin by midnight Tuesday EST, with cessation of hostilities concluding by Wednesday noon EST.
