Iran signals readiness for ceasefire as Trump announces agreement

Iran has announced that it is prepared to end its attacks if Israel agrees to do the same, as reports of a potential ceasefire gain traction following statements from U.S. President Donald Trump.

President Trump said a “complete and total ceasefire” between Iran and Israel is expected to take effect within hours. However, neither Iran nor Israel has officially confirmed the ceasefire.

Speaking in Tehran, Iranian officials stated that continued restraint from Israel would be met with a cessation of Iranian strikes. “If Israel stops its attacks, Iran will also bring an end to its strikes,” a government spokesperson said. Israel has not publicly responded to the announcement.

The comments come after a night of heavy bombardment on Tehran, which lasted until 4:00 a.m. local time—marking the deadline Iran had issued for Israel to halt its offensives.

Earlier, Iran had launched a missile barrage targeting the U.S.-run Al Udeid airbase in Qatar in retaliation for Saturday’s strikes on its nuclear facilities. President Trump downplayed the Iranian response, calling it “very weak” and noting there were no casualties among U.S. or Qatari personnel. He thanked Iran for providing “early notice” of the attack.

Qatar confirmed that all missiles aimed at the base were successfully intercepted and condemned the strike as a “flagrant violation” of regional stability.

Tensions remain high following a dramatic escalation that began with U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites just two days prior. The international community has expressed concern over the rapidly intensifying conflict, urging all parties to exercise restraint.

With the region on edge, observers are awaiting official confirmation from both Tehran and Jerusalem to determine whether the reported ceasefire will hold.
