Tue Jun 24 03:46:42 UTC 2025: **Headline: Iran Hints at Ceasefire with Israel Following US-Brokered Truce Announcement**
**Washington D.C. -** Following a 12-day conflict, Iran has signaled a potential ceasefire with Israel, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump declared a “complete and total” truce between the two nations.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X, thanking Iran’s armed forces for their efforts “until the very last minute.” He stated that military operations to “punish Israel for its aggression” concluded at 4 am Tehran time. Araghchi added that Iran has “no intention to continue our response afterwards, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression.”
Trump announced the ceasefire earlier today, claiming a phased 24-hour truce beginning with Iran halting operations, followed by Israel 12 hours later. The announcement was met with silence from Israel.
The conflict escalated after the U.S., siding with Israel, bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. In response, Iran launched a missile attack on the Al-Udeid U.S. air base in Qatar. President Trump downplayed the attack, stating no Americans were harmed and suggesting Iran had given the U.S. prior notice.
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hailed the potential ceasefire as a “historic agreement” achievable only by President Trump.
The situation remains fluid as the world awaits official confirmation and commitment from both Israel and Iran.
