After 12 days, the Iran-Israel war, which started unexpectedly, has been declared dramatically over. On the 10th day of the war, US President Donald Trump also called America into the war. The next day, Iran retaliated by launching airstrikes against US military bases in Qatar and Iraq.
As the war became more complicated, Donald Trump announced a 'ceasefire' between Iran and Israel on social media at 1:30 pm local time in Tehran. Just hours after Trump unilaterally announced a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel war, it was accepted by the top leadership of the two countries.
Even after a few hours of declaring a 'ceasefire', the armies of the two countries continued to fire missiles at each other.
President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone before leaving to attend the NATO summit in the Netherlands on Tuesday morning, US time.
According to a White House official, in a phone call from Air Force One while en route to a NATO summit, President Trump spoke "firmly and directly" with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu about what needs to be done to maintain the ceasefire. "The Prime Minister clearly understood the seriousness of the situation and the concerns expressed by President Trump," the official said. Immediately after the
, Trump wrote on social media giving directive suggestions to the power of Israel, "Israel will not attack Iran." All planes have returned. They will do a friendly 'plane wave' when returning from Iran. No one will be hurt, the ceasefire is in effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter.'
World leaders have reacted with 'cautiously optimism' to news that Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire after a 12-day war.
Hours after President Trump announced the deal, and shortly after Israel and Iran embraced it, reports surfaced that the two countries were still fighting. Trump then warned Israel that any further attacks would be a "major violation" of the ceasefire.
Israel accused Iran of violating the ceasefire and said it would retaliate if it did so. Iran's state-run news agencies claim that Iran's military has not carried out any attacks since the ceasefire came into force.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry S. Peskov, said the Kremlin is hopeful the ceasefire will prove durable. "If the ceasefire has really been achieved, it can only be welcomed," he said. Russia and Iran are close allies. Putin met with Iran's foreign minister in Moscow on Monday. But there is no indication that Russia was involved in the diplomacy leading up to the ceasefire announcement.
French President Emmanuel Macron praised Trump's announcement that a ceasefire had been agreed. But he said, the situation is still unstable. The last minutes showed that the situation was very critical.'
Similarly, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also welcomed Trump's announcement. He urged Israel and Iran to focus on maintaining the ceasefire. "The US and European countries will discuss ways to stabilize the situation after the NATO summit on Tuesday," he said.
The Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman, claimed that the Emir of Qatar helped negotiate a ceasefire. “We hope to see the ceasefire seriously enforced. We feel that both sides are responsible for this. Similarly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia also welcomed the ceasefire announcement in a statement and said that it "appreciates the efforts made to reduce tension".
In the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, about 700 Iranians have been killed, while 28 people have been killed on the Israeli side. The number of injured on both sides is over a thousand. Israel's attack has also caused a great deal of material damage to Iran. However, the Israelis have also suffered material losses in these 12 days that they have not experienced in the war with Hamas for the past 20 months.
