Donald Trump said Israel and Iran had agreed a ceasefire, ending more than a week of conflict between the two countries that had threatened to engulf the US in another Middle Eastern war.
The US president said the two sides would end what he titled the “12 day war” and congratulated both sides after a day in which Tehran had launched missiles against America’s biggest air base in the Middle East in return for Trump’s strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities at the weekend.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday evening, as he outlined steps that would result in an end to the conflict over 24 hours.
