Donald Trump has said Israel and Iran have agreed a ceasefire, which would end the conflict within 24 hours.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE ,” the US president posted on his Truth Social network.
He added that the truce would start in about six hours’ time, “when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions”.
“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World,” Trump said.
He continued: “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’. This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”
There was no immediate response from either Israel or Iran.
