WASHINGTON, D.C. – A ceasefire between Iran and Israel is now “in effect,” U.S. President Donald Trump announced Tuesday, despite expressing frustration over reported violations by both nations.
Trump made the declaration on his Truth Social platform, stating, “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!”
The statement came just moments after the president told reporters at the White House that he was “really unhappy” with Israel, accusing the country of breaking the terms of the truce.
Although details of the ceasefire agreement remain unclear, Trump’s remarks suggest escalating tensions had reached a critical point before diplomatic efforts led to a pause in hostilities.
The White House has not released any formal statement outlining the terms or duration of the ceasefire. However, the president’s messaging implies a temporary de-escalation, with a call for restraint from both sides.
Global observers are watching closely, as the development comes amid heightened concerns over potential military escalation in the Middle East.
