President Donald Trump announced on Monday evening via Truth Social that Israel and Iran have agreed in principle to a cease-fire that will end the ongoing conflict he dubbed the “12 Day War."

“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!" Trump wrote.

According to his post, Iran will initiate the cease-fire, followed by Israel after 12 hours, and after 24 hours the war will be officially declared over. Trump said that during each cease-fire period, both sides 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!" Trump added.

However, neither Israel nor Iran has immediately confirmed the cease-fire agreement or the terms of the truce.

Meanwhile, tensions escalated earlier Monday when Iran retaliated against recent US air strikes on its nuclear facilities by firing missiles towards the military bases of the United States in Qatar and Iraq.

Iran launched six missiles towards the US troops in Qatar, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official. Iran’s National Security Council confirmed the missile attack on a US base in Qatar. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted with no reports of casualties, Qatar said.

However, Iran’s Mehr News Agency claimed that at least three Iranian missiles struck the Al-Udeid base in Qatar.

According to a New York Times report, Iran had given advance notice to Qatar about the strike on the US base to minimise casualties.
