Iran and Israel Agree to Ceasefire, Says Donald Trump

In a breakthrough after weeks of rising tensions and deadly strikes, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire. The announcement has brought a sigh of relief across the region and the world, as leaders welcome the decision and hope for lasting peace.

• Donald Trump announced the ceasefire deal late Sunday night.

• Both Iran and Israel have agreed to halt all military operations immediately.

• The agreement includes a halt on missile strikes, drone attacks, and air raids.

• Talks were mediated by U.S. and Gulf country diplomats behind closed doors.

• The deal aims to open the door for fresh diplomatic dialogue between the two nations.

The ceasefire brings an end, at least temporarily, to weeks of:

Missile strikes on cities and military bases.
Drone attacks are causing damage and loss of lives.
Threats of attacks on oil tankers and shipping routes.
Global fears of a wider Middle East war.

Speaking at a press briefing in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump shared:

“I am proud to announce that after days of talks, Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire. This deal saves lives and prevents war. The world should welcome this peace.”

He further added:

“This is a victory for diplomacy, and I thank our partners in the Gulf and Europe who helped make this possible.”

Both countries will stop military action immediately.
Iran will suspend missile deployments targeting Israeli sites.
Israel will halt air strikes and covert operations in Iran.
No attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz or the Red Sea.
Further talks are expected to begin within 10 days to discuss a longer peace plan.

Oil prices fell slightly after the ceasefire news as fears of supply disruptions eased.
Stock markets in the Middle East rose on hopes of stability.
Shipping firms reported fewer delays in the Strait of Hormuz.

• Iran and Israel will send delegations for peace talks within 10 days.

• The U.S. and Gulf nations will continue to support these talks.

• Monitoring teams may be set up to ensure the ceasefire holds.

• Threats of closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a key route for global oil.

• Rising insurance costs for tankers.

• Fears of attacks on ships in the region.

• Shipping is expected to normalize in the coming days.

• Oil markets have calmed, though analysts say tensions could rise again if the deal collapses.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel, announced by Donald Trump, marks a hopeful turning point after weeks of dangerous escalation. While the road ahead will not be easy, this deal shows that diplomacy is still possible even in the most tense situations.
