In a major breakthrough, Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete and total ceasefire, bringing an end to the intense 12-day conflict that raised fears of a wider regional war. The ceasefire will begin in phases, with Iran halting hostilities first, followed by Israel after 12 hours. If both sides comply, the war will officially end after 24 hours.
The agreement was announced by the U.S. President, who praised both nations for showing “stamina, courage, and intelligence” in avoiding a prolonged war. The conflict, which could have escalated into a years-long crisis, will now conclude under the terms of the ceasefire, with both sides expected to remain peaceful.
The deal marks a significant de-escalation after days of missile strikes, drone attacks, and heightened tensions across the Middle East. Global leaders have welcomed the move, hoping it will lead to lasting stability in the region.
