President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, ending a 12-day war. The agreement involves two 12-hour ceasefire periods, beginning with Iran at midnight EDT, followed by Israel. After 24 hours, the war would be officially over. While Trump declared the ceasefire, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied a formal agreement but indicated Iran would halt strikes if Israel did first. The war began June 12th with Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets. The US joined the conflict two days prior to the ceasefire announcement, launching strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
