President Donald Trump announced what he called “complete and total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran in a social media post (at 01:00 after midnight, time in Greece). which hopes it will become permanent. The truce is going to come into force in about six hours, the president said. The ceasefire will gradually enter into force within the next 24 hours, according to the post.
Trump spoke of the “official end of the 12 -day war”, and said that each side would remain “peaceful and respectful”.
“On the basis that everything works properly, something that happens, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, who had the strength, courage and intelligence to end what” 12 -day war “should be called. This is a war that could continue for years and destroy the whole Middle East, but it never happened, and it will never happen! May God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America and God bless the world! “, Trump ended.
Meanwhile, as reported by Reuters news agency, citing an anonymous US source, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al -Thani, secured Tehran’s agreement with the US proposal for a ceasefire.
The phone call took place after US President Donald Trump told Emir of Qatar that Israel had agreed on the ceasefire and sought Doha’s help to persuade Tehran to agree on the ceasefire agreement, the official told Reuters.
“Donaldramp mediated to reach a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran on Monday, in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with Trump’s team in contact with Iranian officials,” said a senior White House official.
The official, providing details of a ceasefire on the condition of anonymity, said Israel has agreed to cease fire since Iran did not launch new attacks. Iran implied that it would comply with the deal, the official said.
In direct and indirect contact with the Iranians were US vice president Jay Di Vans, Foreign Minister Marko Rubio and US Special Envoy Steve Witkov, the official said.
Earlier, the US convened the US National Security Council to discuss Tehran’s threat of retaliation against US positions in the Middle East, while a government official cited by CNBC was found at the White House Business Center, along with the US Secretary of State.
In his statements, he called on Iran to move towards peace and harmony in the Middle East, stressing that he would also encourage Israel to follow the same path.
Trump described Iranian attack on al -Unded air base in Qatar ‘Very weak’noting that it was expected and that the United States had effectively treated it. As he said, 14 rockets were launched, 13 of which were dismissed, while one ‘Stayed unobstructed’ because it was not directed to a threatening target. Thanked Tehran for ‘Timely notice’ and expressed hope that “There will be no further hatred.”
Meanwhile, his first public message after Iranian missile attacks on US bases in Qatar was posted a few hours before Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Hameni, stressing that Tehran did not seek aggressive actions but will not tolerate.
Accompanied by his post with the image of a burning American flag, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote on the X platform: “We have not attacked anyone and in no way we accept an attack by anyone, we will not be subject to any aggression. This is the logic of the Iranian people. “
Iranian official speaking to Reuters agency, he said that “Tehran has the necessary rationality to resort to diplomacy after punishing the attacker,” adding that “If the US is pursuing negotiation, American and Israeli attacks should stop.”
Earlier, the US president wondered why there was no regime change in Iran after US bombings in three nuclear facilities in the country. In particular, in a post on the Truth Social platform, he wrote that “it is not politically correct to use the term ‘change of regime’, but if the current Iranian regime is incapable of giving its grandeur again, why not change status? MIGA !!! (ed. Make Iran Great Again) “, paraphrasing the slogan of Maga (Make America Great Again,” to give back to America its grandeur “).
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was “Very close to completing his goals, thanks to American President Donald Trump and his decision to bomb the Iranian nuclear program facilities.”
“We will not continue our actions beyond that (to fulfill the goals), but we will also not end up. When the goals are fulfilled, then the business will be completed and hostilities will stop »Netanyahu told reporters.
