Trump announces ‘complete and total ceasefire’ between Israel and Iran

JTA - President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire.”

In a post sent shortly 8am AEST the president said the ceasefire will start to take effect in  about six hours after Israel and Iran have “wound down” the strikes against each other that are currently in progress.

Trump offered a somewhat convoluted timeframe, explaining that, “Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.”
