The details of Trump's Iran-Israel ceasefire explained

President Trump declared a "Complete and Total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran, aiming to end a weeklong conflict. The ceasefire timeline specifies Iran will halt attacks within six hours, followed by Israel 12 hours later; 6-12-12.

Under Trump's ceasefire, Iran halts strikes on Israel at midnight ET Tuesday (6 hours after Trump's Truth Social post), Israel stops strikes against Iran 12 hours later at noon ET Tuesday. Then, 12 hours after (midnight ET Wednesday), the war ends, a White House official said.

Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, appeared less optimistic, stating there was "NO 'agreement' on any ceasefire." He noted that military operations had continued until recently.

While both nations' leaders communicated through various channels, there has been no official confirmation from Israel regarding the ceasefire. Additionally, Trump himself confirmed the "CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT," in a final Truth Social post, shortly after Iranian media acknowledged their participation and cessation of missile barrages .

The conflict has resulted in numerous casualties on both sides allegedly amid tensions over Iran's nuclear program, others say it's about regime change and long-term Israeli regional ambitions. In the minutes before the ceasefire, Iran launched 12 missiles in 6 waves, mostly symbolic, mirroring Trump's 6- and 12-hour ceasefire timing that he posted on Truth Social.
