In a post on Truth Social, president Trump claims a 12-hr ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been reached. The ceasefire, he says, will begin in 6 hours.
He writes:
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!
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. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. 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.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!”
Amid the announcement of a ceasefire, Israel’s Defence Forces have posted an evacuation warning for parts of the Iranian capital, Tehran, writing on X:
“Urgent warning to all individuals located in the Mehran and District 6 areas in Tehran, based on the red-colored designated area on the attached map.
“The Israeli army, as it has been operating across Iran in recent days to target the military infrastructure of the Iranian regime, will be active in these areas.”
“Dear citizens, for your safety and well-being, we kindly request that you immediately evacuate the aforementioned designated areas on the map and avoid approaching them in the coming hours.”
