Trump claims 'complete and total ceasefire' between Israel and Iran in coming hours
US President Donald Trump has announced a "complete and total CEASEFIRE" in approximately six hours, saying both Israel and Iran have agreed to it.
"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, saying the ceasefire will come after the two countries "have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!"
It would last for 12 hours "at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!"
"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.
Both Israel and Iran are yet to confirm the ceasefire agreement.
"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,'" he wrote.
