WASHINGTON, D.C. — (June 23, 2025) — U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran on Monday, potentially ending the 12-day war that triggered mass evacuations in Tehran and pushed the region toward full-scale conflict.

“I would like to congratulate both countries… on ending what should be called ‘THE 12 DAY WAR,’” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The conflict escalated rapidly following Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran’s underground nuclear sites, citing imminent nuclear threat concerns. Iran denied pursuing nuclear weapons, though Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that if Iran chose to build one, “world leaders wouldn’t be able to stop us.”

Ceasefire Comes with Conditions

A senior White House official confirmed that Israel has agreed to the ceasefire, provided Iran halts all further attacks. Trump is reported to have brokered the terms during a direct call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump suggested that both sides would be allowed time to conclude “ongoing missions” before the truce formally begins.

Uncertainty on the Ground

Despite the announcement, calm has yet to take hold. Alarms were reported in southern Israel amid fears of air incursions, while new evacuation alerts were issued in Tehran overnight.

Markets responded swiftly, with S&P 500 futures rising 0.4% late Monday, signaling optimism on Wall Street.

Military Objectives & Aftermath

Vice President JD Vance asserted that Iran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon has been neutralized due to targeted U.S. airstrikes using 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs. Israel’s strikes on Evin prison and other political targets were aimed at crippling Iran’s governing apparatus.

Trump’s broader messaging hints at regime change ambitions, stating on Sunday his administration seeks to dismantle the clerical rulers in Tehran who have clashed with the U.S. since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

As the region holds its breath, global leaders watch to see whether this ceasefire will bring a lasting halt to a volatile and high-stakes military campaign.
