Ceasefire Announcement: U.S. President Trump Brokers Temporary Peace Between Israel and Iran Amid Continued Tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, potentially pausing the 12-day war that displaced millions. Despite the announcement, missile exchanges and attacks continued, with no confirmation of the ceasefire from Israel. Iran's conditions for the ceasefire include the cessation of Israeli strikes on its territories.

In a significant diplomatic move, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday, aiming to halt the escalating violence that has embroiled the region for the past 12 days. The conflict had led to mass evacuations in Tehran as fears of a prolonged war loomed.

Despite the announcement, tensions remained high as the Israeli military reported missile launches from Iran early Tuesday. Explosions were heard near Tel Aviv and Beersheba, with Israeli forces continuing their offensive on Iran's nuclear facilities, accusing Tehran of nearing nuclear weapon capabilities.

Negotiations facilitated by Qatar reportedly played a crucial role, though skepticism remains due to Iran's insistence on halting hostilities only if Israel ceases its attacks. While U.S. markets responded positively to the ceasefire news, the situation on the ground remains volatile, with no clear resolution in sight.
