- Says Israel, Iran agree to ‘total ceasefire’
President Donald Trump, on Monday, dismissed Iran’s retaliatory strikes that targeted a US base in Qatar as “very weak,” while welcoming “early notice” given by Tehran.
“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, after multiple missiles were launched toward the Al Udeid base in Qatar.
“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” he added.
Meanwhile, Trump announced that Iran and Israel had agreed to a staggered ceasefire beginning at approximately 0400 GMT Tuesday that would bring about an ‘official end’ to the 12-day conflict.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote Monday on his Truth Social platform.
