Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, which happened only hours after Iran fired missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar. This was in response to the American attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities this past weekend.

This will be a staggered ceasefire, and hopes are the war will end between them both.

"It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World," Trump wrote.

Vice President JD Vance said on Fox news today:

"I think the Iranians are at a place where they don't want to keep on fighting," Vance said in the interview.

"What the Iranians have showed through their support of terror networks, through their now-failed effort to build a nuclear weapon, is that they're just not very good at war. And I think the president really hit the reset button and said, 'Look, let's actually produce long-term peace for the region," he said.

President Trump also wrote:

"Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered," Trump said in a post. "I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured."

Now that Iran has agreed to a ceasefire, this could be the quickest turn-around for any country in recent memories. 

We're hopeful this peaceful process will continue.
