Ceasefire Between Iran and Israel? Trump Makes Big Announcement for 2025
What’s Happening Now
U.S. President Trump announced on June 23 that Israel and Iran agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” in their 12‑day war
He said it would begin in phases: Iran stops at midnight, and Israel joins 12 hours later. Qatar helped by talking to both sides.
Despite Trump’s announcement, Israel hasn’t publicly confirmed the ceasefire.
Confusion and Denials
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said no ceasefire deal has been signed yet. He stated Iran will stop military actions only if Israel halts its attacks first
Recent Events
- Iran still fired missiles
- Oil markets and stocks reacted quickly
Just after the planned ceasefire started, Iran fired more missiles at Israel. At least four people were killed, most of them in the city of Be’er Sheva.
The news about the ceasefire made oil prices go down by about 3.6%, and U.S. stock markets started to go up.
In Simple Terms
| Claim | Status |
|---|---|
| U.S. says ceasefire in effect | ✅ Announced by President Trump on June 23 |
| Iran says no final agreement | ❌ Denies any formal deal—conditions still uncertain |
| Israel confirmed? | ❔ Not confirmed publicly; actions paused modestly |
| Incidents after announcement | ❗ Yes—missiles fired and lives lost |
Bottom Line
The U.S. and Qatar have helped bring a promise of a ceasefire. But things are still unclear. Iran says it will stop only if Israel stops first, and Israel says the same. Even after the announcement, new attacks have happened. So, the war might slow down, but real peace hasn’t started yet.
