**Summary:**

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete ceasefire to be implemented over 24 hours, effectively ending the 12-day war. The announcement follows a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites and a subsequent Iranian retaliatory missile strike on a U.S. military installation in Qatar, for which Trump thanked Iran for providing early notice.

**Israel and Iran Agree to Ceasefire, Claims U.S. President Trump**

*WASHINGTON/DOHA/ISTANBUL, June 24, 2025* – In a dramatic turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Monday that Israel and Iran have reached a “complete and total ceasefire,” marking a potential end to the intense conflict that has gripped the region for the past twelve days.

In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump stated the ceasefire would be phased in over a 24-hour period, effectively bringing an “official end” to the war. This development comes on the heels of a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.

“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’,” Mr. Trump wrote.

Notably, Mr. Trump also acknowledged and thanked Iran for providing “early notice” of its retaliatory missile strike aimed at a major U.S. military installation in Qatar on Monday. This strike was in response to the U.S. bombardment of the Iranian nuclear sites.

The President expressed optimism that Tehran had “gotten it all out of their ‘system'” with the retaliatory strike, and that this moment would lead to a de-escalation of the conflict.

While the announcement has the potential to dramatically alter the geopolitical landscape, the international community awaits independent confirmation from both Israeli and Iranian sources. The situation remains fluid, and *The Hindu* will continue to provide updates as they become available.
