Trump Announces Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran, Brokered With Qatari Diplomacy

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a 12-hour ceasefire, which he claims will begin in approximately six hours. Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social, calling it a historic breakthrough and declaring an end to what he dubbed “The 12 Day War.”

In his post, Trump stated:

“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED.”

He emphasized that the ceasefire would be initiated by Iran and followed by a reciprocal pause from Israel, with each side remaining peaceful throughout. Trump credited the “stamina, courage, and intelligence” of both nations for preventing what he described as a potential long-term disaster for the Middle East.

According to diplomatic sources cited by Reuters, the ceasefire agreement was finalized after Qatar’s Prime Minister held a direct phone call with Iranian officials, securing Tehran’s agreement to the proposal.

Trump reportedly contacted Qatar’s Emir to relay that Israel had accepted the U.S. proposal and urged Qatar to help convince Iran to join the agreement. Qatar, which has often acted as a neutral mediator in regional disputes, played a key role in facilitating this latest diplomatic breakthrough.

Ceasefire Timeline and Conditions

• Initiation: Iran will begin the ceasefire roughly six hours from Trump’s announcement.
• Duration: 12 hours of reciprocal restraint.
• Resolution: After a full 24-hour observation period, Trump says the conflict will be declared over.

“God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” Trump concluded in his statement.

The ceasefire comes after nearly two weeks of violent escalation, including missile attacks on U.S. bases in Qatar, airstrikes in Syria and Iraq, and heavy bombardments exchanged between Iran and Israel. The conflict had prompted widespread international concern, with fears of a broader war engulfing the region.

The Qatari mediation effort, paired with pressure from Washington, appears to have succeeded in creating a window for peace. Observers note, however, that the truce remains tentative, and the coming hours will be critical to ensuring its sustainability.
