Iran-Israel Ceasefire Agreed: On the 12th day of the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, a major diplomatic breakthrough has emerged. Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that a ceasefire agreement has been reached between the two countries. According to Trump, Iran first agreed to halt military actions, and 12 hours later, Israel also agreed to the ceasefire.

What did U.S. President Trump say?

Trump described the agreement as a “great day for the whole world” and called it a major step toward global peace. He congratulated the governments of both countries for their understanding. Trump said:

“This is a historic moment. Iran and Israel have shown that it is always possible to move toward peace. I welcome this initiative and hope it proves to be lasting.”

Background of the Conflict:

The recent confrontation between Iran and Israel had raised global concerns. There had been cross-border missile and drone attacks between the two nations. Hundreds of people were affected by the conflict, and several areas faced humanitarian crises.

What are the terms of the agreement?

Although the formal documents of the ceasefire have not yet been made public, according to Trump:

1.Iran will immediately halt all military actions.

2. Within 12 hours, Israel will also stop its retaliatory operations.

3.A neutral committee comprising third-party nations will be formed for mediation.*

4.Prisoner exchanges and humanitarian aid corridors will be opened.

Clear Warning from Israel:

Israel’s Ministry of Defense issued a statement saying:

“We stood fully prepared against Iran, but if this crisis is averted through efforts by the U.S. and our partners, that is a far better option.”

However, Israel also made it clear that any violation of the ceasefire would result in an immediate and strong response.

Qatar Becomes New Hub for Middle East Peace

Qatar played a pivotal role in this peace process. By facilitating dialogue between Iran and the U.S., Qatar has achieved a significant diplomatic victory. This move could position Qatar as a strategic center for future peace talks in the Middle East.

Global Reaction:

Following the announcement, several countries including the United Nations and the European Union expressed relief. The UN Secretary-General praised the decision, calling it “an important step toward regional stability.”

Now, the world is watching to see how long the ceasefire lasts and whether both parties will prioritize diplomatic dialogue to maintain peace. While the agreement has temporarily eased regional tensions, it is clear that long-term efforts will be necessary for a permanent resolution.
