Trump says ceasefire between Israel and Iran 'now in effect'
- Following 12 days of intense conflict marked by missile attacks, the United States, under President Donald Trump's direction, declared an end to hostilities between Israel and Iran, with both nations agreeing to halt fighting while reserving the right to respond if the ceasefire was violated.
- The conflict started when Israel launched attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities, driven by concerns that Tehran was nearing the capability to produce atomic weapons; this eventually escalated to direct assaults within Iranian territory.
- Israel destroyed key nuclear facilities and killed high-ranking commanders and nuclear scientists, while Iran launched hundreds of missiles against Israel causing casualties and destruction.
- Trump claimed that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been entirely destroyed, but U.S. intelligence assessments indicated the program experienced only a brief delay of a few months, while UN nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi acknowledged substantial damage to Iran’s facilities.
- The ceasefire's durability remains uncertain, with both sides prepared to respond to breaches, and analysts warn the fragile peace could collapse without comprehensive negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.

Israel has long viewed the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme as an existential threat, arguing its covert goal is to build a nuclear weapon aimed at the Jewish state. Thus, after Donald Trump’s negotiations with Iran collapsed, it was only a matter of time before Israel acted mili…
Donald Trump advocated ending "eternal wars", which explains the public's nervousness about his aggression towards Iran.
