Israel-Iran Ceasefire: In a major development from the Middle East, a ceasefire has finally come into effect between Israel and Iran after days of rising tension, deadly attacks, and global concern. The announcement was made by none other than US President Donald Trump, who posted the message on his social media platform Truth Social:
“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”
This message came shortly after Iran launched multiple missile strikes into Israeli territory, causing serious damage and loss of lives. According to reports, at least seven people were killed early Tuesday morning in the Israeli city of Be’er Sheva when an Iranian missile struck a residential building.
In the skies above Jerusalem, locals witnessed missile interceptions, as at least one incoming missile was shot down. The attack triggered panic and fear in multiple parts of the country.
Following these intense attacks, Iranian state media said that the country has now decided to “end hostilities for now”. The statement came just after Iran fired five rounds of missiles at Israel in the hours before a ceasefire deadline that was set for 4 am.
The situation had been deteriorating quickly, with the conflict threatening to spread further across the region. But now, with the ceasefire officially confirmed, there is a glimmer of hope that calm will return—at least temporarily.
This is not the first time that such escalations between Israel and Iran have brought the world to the edge of a full-scale war. But what makes this round different is the scale and speed of the attacks, and how rapidly global powers have stepped in to defuse the crisis.
While the ceasefire may offer a pause to violence, the pain remains fresh for families who have lost their loved ones in the missile strikes. People in both countries are praying that this ceasefire will hold and that peace talks can begin to prevent further bloodshed.
For now, the world watches closely, hoping this truce is not just temporary, but the first step towards long-term peace.
