Trump Declares ‘Total Ceasefire,’ Says Israel-Iran ‘12-Day War’ Over
WASHINGTON – In a surprise announcement Tuesday morning, US President Donald Trump declared that a “total and complete ceasefire” had been reached between Israel and Iran. Trump confidently referred to the brief but intense conflict as the “12-Day War” and declared it “considered over.”
The announcement, delivered from the Oval Office, came after a night of dramatic military escalation, in which Iran launched retaliatory attacks on US bases in response to previous attacks. Trump said the deal was reached through intensive behind-the-scenes negotiations.
While Washington’s unilateral announcement offered some hope, there has been no official confirmation from either the Israeli or Iranian governments. The world is now holding its breath, waiting for reactions from Tehran and Jerusalem to see if the "12-Day War" that nearly sparked a major regional war is truly over.#TRUMP #IranIsraelConflict $BTC
