Washington DC, President Trump made a dramatic announcement Monday on Truth Social, proclaiming a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, officially ending what he dubbed the “12-Day War.”
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire,” President Trump posted. “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world.”
Timeline of the Conflict
The 12-day conflict began on June 13, with Israel launching Operation Rising Lion, a direct military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, military infrastructure, and senior officials. In response, Iran escalated its own attacks, with tensions reaching new heights after U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, over the weekend.
On Saturday night, Trump announced that the U.S. military had successfully bombed three of Iran’s major nuclear sites, claiming:
“The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed.”
However, U.S. military officials and satellite imagery confirmed damage but said it was too early to determine the full extent of destruction.
⏳ Details of the Ceasefire Plan
According to Trump, the terms of the agreement are as follows:
-
Iran would begin a 12-hour ceasefire, after which
-
Israel would start its 12-hour ceasefire,
-
Leading to a 24-hour halt and official end to hostilities.
“During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful,” Trump said, adding that the end of the war should be saluted by the international community.
📰 Conflicting Reports from Iran
Despite Trump’s announcement, CNN reported that Iranian officials had not received any ceasefire proposal at the time of the declaration. A senior Iranian official told the outlet that Iran would continue to fight, casting doubt on the immediacy or existence of a finalized agreement.
Whether an actual agreement was reached shortly after CNN’s reporting remains unclear.
⚛️ The Nuclear Standoff
The origins of the latest flare-up lie in mounting tension over Iran’s nuclear program. Israel, citing survival concerns, launched strikes to stop Iran from reaching nuclear weapon capability.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently warned that Iran was enriching uranium well beyond civilian needs and activating advanced underground facilities, suggesting it was approaching the nuclear weapons threshold.
“Iran was at the nuclear threshold and activating its newest underground enrichment facility,” said Robert Greenway, former deputy assistant to the president for national security.
Trump reaffirmed that the U.S. will never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, rejecting any deal that permits uranium enrichment.
🗣️ Global Reactions and Implications
The proclaimed end to the 12-Day War has yet to be confirmed by all parties involved. Still, Trump’s statement marks a potentially pivotal moment in Middle East geopolitics—if the ceasefire holds.
The ceasefire may relieve escalating regional tensions that risked spilling into a broader Middle East conflict. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously stated that Israel’s campaign was critical to national survival, while Trump framed the situation as one that “could have gone on for years.”
✅ What’s Next?
The international community now watches closely to verify whether the ceasefire terms are respected by both sides. Official confirmations from Iranian and Israeli leadership, along with further statements from the Biden administration, are still pending.

Same Iran Nuclear Deal John Kerry and Obama promoted for years and years in the media….kind of like how they promoted the whole Russian Collusion hoax for years too. Funny how the deep state focuses on certain things isnt it. Normalizing such terrible policy and gas lighting us in the process.
Of-course shit would eventually hit the fan. All the wars that Biden and the democrats helped create, now Trump has to clean up yalls mess. It’s not an easy task. But I have an idea on where to focus.
Since this is America, lets protect our own borders from the cartels smuggling drugs and human beings into this country.
Yeah, a thumbs down for common sense.
