President Donald Trump said Monday night that there would be a ceasefire between Israel and Iran in the coming hours.
“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World,” Trump wrote. “During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL.”
According to the social media post, the two countries will be given time to “wind down” and complete ongoing missions. The president, who said last week he didn’t want a ceasefire without Iran giving up on its nuclear program, hailed the purported agreement as an effective end to the conflict.
