Breaking News: Israel and Iran Agree to 12-Hour Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump announced on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total" 12-hour ceasefire, set to begin within six hours. The agreement comes after a series of escalating events, including US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran's retaliatory missile strikes.
The ceasefire is expected to last for 12 hours, starting six hours from Trump's announcement. Although specifics are scarce, the agreement aims to halt hostilities between Israel and Iran.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have been escalating since Israel launched surprise attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 13, 2025. Iran retaliated with missile strikes, killing at least 24 people in Israel. The conflict has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and its impact on the region.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged a halt to fighting and a return to negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
While there is no direct quote from Dmitry Medvedev on this specific ceasefire, he had previously criticized Trump's actions towards Iran, stating they would strengthen Iran's leadership and potentially lead to further conflict.
The international community will be closely watching the situation, hoping for a lasting resolution to the conflict. The ceasefire's success hinges on both parties' willingness to adhere to the terms and work towards a lasting peace.
