State Department on Iran-Israel Truce: ‘It’s Fragile’ but ‘Did Come Together’
- At 6 p.m. on Monday, President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire to end the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran.
- The ceasefire followed Tehran’s missile strikes on the U.S. Al-Udeid base in Qatar and previous U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities amid signs Iran sought to avoid further escalation.

- The fragile ceasefire appears to hold but requires careful management, suggesting a temporary halt to hostilities and Iran’s nuclear ambitions after combined U.S. and Israeli strikes.
