US President, Donald Trump, has announced that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire after close to two weeks of violent conflict between the two countries.
Trump took to his Truth Social on Monday evening to announce that both countries had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire”.
According to him, the ceasefire agreement is expected to take effect at 12 midnight local time but both Iran and Israel are yet to confirm any definite ceasefire agreement.
However, Iran said its military operations “to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute, at 4am.”
Trump wrote: “Congratulations to everyone! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire”.
Trump said the ceasefire will begin “in approximately six hours from now” after each country has “wound down” their military operations and “the war will be considered ended”.
Trump announced that “officially, Iran will start the ceasefire and, upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire”.
