President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, halting a volatile 12-day conflict that brought the region to the brink of all-out war. The agreement, according to Trump, will be implemented in two phases: Iran is set to stand down at 8:30 a.m. AMT, followed by Israel 12 hours later.
The announcement comes just 48 hours after the United States, in coordination with Israeli forces, conducted a series of airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, targeting key sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan under the operation name “Midnight Hammer.” In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at U.S. military installations in Qatar, specifically Al-Udeid Air Base. U.S. officials confirmed that all missiles were intercepted and no American personnel were harmed.

Trump, who framed the ceasefire as a diplomatic victory, praised both nations for stepping back from further escalation. He described Iran’s retaliatory strike as “very weak,” emphasizing that Iran gave prior notice of the attack—a move interpreted by some as a signal of Tehran’s desire to avoid direct confrontation.
Trump did not indicate whether further negotiations were underway but confirmed that he advised against any immediate U.S. military response. The Pentagon reportedly aligned with that position, opting instead for heightened defensive readiness across regional installations.
Regional airspace closures across Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait were lifted following the ceasefire announcement. Markets responded with minimal volatility. Oil prices stabilized and U.S. stock indexes posted moderate gains, aided by broader economic optimism and dovish signals from the Federal Reserve.

Despite the ceasefire, questions remain about its durability. With no publicly disclosed enforcement mechanisms or monitoring protocols, analysts warn that renewed hostilities could reignite if either side perceives a strategic advantage. For now, the guns are silent—but for how long remains uncertain.
