No confirmation on Iran-Israel ceasefire despite Trump's announcement

United States President Donald Trump announced that Iran and Israel have agreed to a “complete and total” ceasefire, but neither government has publicly confirmed such an agreement.

The announcement came only hours after an Iranian missile strike targeted the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which hosts American military personnel.

Details surrounding the extent of the damage remain unclear.

In a social media post, Trump described the alleged agreement as a breakthrough, referring to the recent hostilities as “THE 12 DAY WAR.”

In the post, he praised both nations for their “stamina, courage, and intelligence” in ending what he claimed could have spiraled into a prolonged regional conflict.

“This is a war that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will,” Trump said, before offering blessings to the countries involved and the broader international community.

Despite the U.S. President’s statement, there has been no official comment or confirmation from Tehran or Tel Aviv.

The absence of verification from the two main parties raises questions about the substance of Trump’s claim and whether any formal ceasefire has been reached.
