US President Donald Trump on Monday declared a “complete and total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran, hours after Iran fired missiles at a US base in Qatar in retaliation for US strikes on its nuclear facilities. The “halted battles” announcement came even as both sides continued to exchange fire.
- Trump declared a ceasefire despite no confirmation from Israel or Iran.
- Iran vowed to stop attacks only if Israel halts its “illegal aggression.”
- The 12-day conflict began after Israel bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities.
- Hundreds have died, with severe damage to civilian and military infrastructure.
“Halted battles” feels more like wishful silence than real peace. Trump’s declaration may project strength, but on the ground, missiles still fly. Sometimes, the sound of war stops in headlines before it does in real life.
