“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.”’ Trump added in his post.
There was no immediate reaction from neither Israel nor Iran on the ceasefire. In Iran, an anchor on the country’s state television referred to a ceasefire as “Trump-claimed”, not mentioning whether Tehran had accepted it or not. “Simultaneously with Trump’s claim of a ceasefire, the Zionist enemy targeted several points in the cities of Tehran, Urmia and Rasht, including a residential area in the capital,” Reuters quoted the anchor as saying.
Israel’s military also issued a warning earlier that Tehran’s District 6 could be attacked.
The ceasefire announcement comes hours after a US air base in Qatar was attacked by Iranian airstrikes in retaliation after the US entered the Middle East conflict and struck Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran late on Monday launched “Operation Basharat al-Fath” against US bases in Qatar in response to the American strikes that hit three Iranian nuclear facilities, Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz, the previous day.
Israel-Iran conflict | Key points
The United States entered the conflict between Israel and Iran and carried out a large-scale strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, deploying 75 precision munitions and bunker-busting bombs over the weekend.After the US’ attack, Iran retaliated by bombing its airbase in Qatar and said that the volley matched the number of bombs the US dropped on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas, reported AP.According to Qatar, all missiles fired by Iran at the US airbase were intercepted except for one. The damage caused by that missile, if any, is not yet known.Iran’s parliament has passed a measure that could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a major trade route for global oil shipments. If enacted, the move threatens a potential worldwide energy crisis if enacted.
