Trump Announces Full Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran Amid Missile Attacks

The Israeli Defense Forces announced at 5:30 AM on Tuesday (June 24, 2025), that missile launches were detected from Iran. Sirens sounded across several areas in Israel following the recognition of missiles fired toward the state. The Israeli Air Force is actively attempting to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat. This development comes shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hinted that hostilities might have ended if Israel ceased its attacks by 4 PM local time in Tehran. Meanwhile, Donald Trump declared via social media and later on NBC that a full ceasefire would begin around 7 AM (Greek time), officially ending the 12-day conflict. Despite this, Iran’s military continued operations until the last moment, as confirmed by Araghchi, who thanked the armed forces for their readiness. High-level negotiations involving Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Middle East envoy Steve Wittkoff reportedly facilitated the agreement between Israel and Iran, mediated personally by Trump. Both sides agreed to halt fire under specific conditions, marking what Trump called the ’12-Day War.’ If these developments hold, they could reshape the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East.
