Trump says Israel and Iran have negotiated ‘complete’ ceasefire

President on Truth Social says ceasefire will start in coming hours but no immediate response from Israel or Iran

Donald Trump has claimed that Israel and Iran have negotiated a ceasefire, halting a two-week-old war that has killed hundreds in tit-for-tat strikes by Israeli warplanes and Iranian ballistic missiles.

The ceasefire was set to begin late on Monday, Trump said, with Iran halting its attacks first and then Israel set to cease offensive operations in the coming hours.
