U.S. President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, declared that an agreed cease-fire between Israel and Iran was in effect and issued a call to “not violate” it.
In an earlier post, Trump said Iran would start the cease-fire, with Israel joining 12 hours later.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later said his country agreed to Trump’s cease-fire proposal, claiming in a statement that Israel’s goal of neutralizing the nuclear and ballistic missile threat from Iran had been achieved.
