Former U.S. President Donald Trump declared a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran on June 24, 2025. He said both nations agreed to halt all military actions within 24 hours. The announcement followed twelve days of intense missile strikes, drone attacks, and widespread regional tension.
“I made the deal. It’s a beautiful deal. Peace starts now,” Trump said in his televised statement. He emphasized that diplomacy worked where war failed. He also stressed that both governments promised full cooperation and restraint moving forward.
World leaders reacted swiftly. The United Nations praised the agreement. Analysts believe Trump’s move could reshape Middle East dynamics once again. Trump stated, “We stopped a war. People wanted war, but I chose peace.”
On the ground, Israeli forces paused airstrikes, and Iranian officials confirmed their halt in missile launches. Citizens across both countries expressed cautious relief. One Israeli resident said, “We finally see hope. We heard sirens every night. Now we hear silence.”
Trump’s negotiation stunned critics. He credited “strong leadership” and “clear red lines” for the breakthrough. He warned, however, that any violation will “end badly for the side that breaks the deal.”
The ceasefire remains fragile, but global powers watch closely. Trump concluded, “History will thank us. We made peace when the world doubted it.”
