A major breakthrough may be on the horizon in the Middle East as Iran has agreed to a ceasefire with Israel following U.S. mediation, but Israel has not yet publicly responded. The truce was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump after nearly two weeks of intense fighting that pushed the region to the brink of wider war.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Saeed Abbas Araghchi confirmed the agreement early Tuesday via a post on social media platform X, stating that Iran’s military operations against Israel ended at 4 AM. “Our brave forces defended the nation with unmatched courage. They fought till the last drop of blood and responded to every enemy assault until the final moment,” he wrote, expressing deep gratitude to Iran’s armed forces.
Just hours before the ceasefire confirmation, Araghchi had denied any such agreement. In a separate statement, he had dismissed President Trump’s claims of a ceasefire, saying there had been “no deal” between Iran and Israel to halt military operations and that a final decision on a truce would be made later.
This abrupt shift raised eyebrows globally. Analysts believe internal pressure, military strain, and diplomatic maneuvering may have forced Tehran’s hand.
So far, Israel has made no public comment on the ceasefire. It has also refused to confirm or deny President Trump’s announcement. However, sources indicate that Trump held a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu late Monday night, during which the ceasefire framework was reportedly finalized.
Despite the silence, observers expect Israel’s confirmation or official stance to emerge within the next 24 hours. Military activity on the ground has reportedly reduced significantly.
President Trump, in his address announcing the ceasefire, emphasized the need to stop the bloodshed that had gripped the region for 12 days. “This conflict needed to end before it spiraled further. The ceasefire will be implemented in stages,” he stated.
Just a day before the announcement, U.S. forces had launched heavy airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated by firing missiles at American military bases in Iraq and Qatar, escalating tensions to a dangerous level.
The world now watches closely to see whether the ceasefire holds and whether Israel formally accepts the terms. The situation remains delicate, with military analysts warning that any misstep could reignite hostilities.
While the ceasefire offers a glimmer of hope, the silence from Israel and the fragile trust between the two nations suggest that true peace in the Middle East remains an elusive goal.
