Trump announces ‘ceasefire is now in effect’
US President Donald Trump has said that “the ceasefire is now in effect,” in a message posted on Truth Social.
He urged all sides, “Please do not violate it!”
So far, there has been no official confirmation from either Iran or Israel regarding the agreement Trump announced earlier, which aims to bring an end to the deadly conflict.
According to Trump, the ceasefire would take place in stages over a 24-hour period.
It was expected to begin at around 04:00 GMT on Tuesday.
The fighting has already left hundreds dead in Iran and more than two dozen people killed in Israel.
