U.S. President Donald Trump stated Monday (June 23, 2025) on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.
The U.S. president stated on Truth Social that the ceasefire would deliver an “official end” to the battle, a significant change within the hostilities that follows a U.S. strike over the weekend on three Iranian nuclear websites.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end what should be called, ‘The 12 day war’,” Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social web site.
Earlier, Mr. Trump thanked Iran for giving the U.S. and allies “early notice” of Monday’s (June 23, 2025) retaliatory missile strike aimed toward a significant U.S. army set up within the Gulf nation of Qatar.
The President expressed hope that Tehran — with its reprisal for the U.S. bombardment of three key Iranian nuclear services — had “gotten it all out of their ‘system’” and that the second would lead to a de-escalation within the Israel-Iran battle.
