Trump Announces Roadmap To Ending Israel, Iran, U.S. War
twelve days after Israel and the U.S. launched military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities, President Donald Trump declared a “complete and total ceasefire” between the three nations. The ceasefire is meant too be implemented in a phased manner over 24 hours, with the expectation that it would be welcomed globally. Trump praised Israel and Iran for their ability to end what he referred to as “THE 12 DAY WAR.”
However, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi denied any agreements regarding a ceasefire, although he indicated that Iran would not retaliate if Israel ceased its attacks. This announcement comes after an attempted ballistic missile strike by Iran on a U.S. base in Qatar was thwarted.
Trump remarked that the conflict could have escalated significantly and implied that a continued war would undermine efforts to address Iran’s nuclear threat.He rejected the notion of regime change in Iran, a position supported by other commentators wary of further military involvement in the region.In his closing remarks, Trump expressed goodwill towards Iran, the Middle East, and the U.S.,suggesting a desire for peace.

Twelve days after Israel aimed its fire at Iran, strikes that were joined by the U.S. in the form of bunker busters on three of Tehran’s nuclear facilities, President Donald Trump announced a “complete and total ceasefire” between the three nations.
The effective end to the war was expected after a 24-hour phased-in halt on attacks beginning on Tuesday. According to Trump, the implementation of the truce “will be saluted by the World.”
“During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday night. “On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, ‘THE 12 DAY WAR.’
In the wake of Trump’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi claimed there is “NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” a narrative corporate media such as CNN were quick to amplify. In the same post, however, Araghchi acknowledged that if Israel holds its fire, “we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.”
The news of a ceasefire comes shortly after the U.S. foiled Iran’s face-saving and pre-warned ballistic missile attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Trump noted in his declaration that the war could have “could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!”
His acknowledgement that escalation would not only harm his original objective, to “stop the nuclear threat posed by the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror,” but also wreak unwanted havoc on the other side of the world is a direct rebuke to neocon arguments that regime change in Iran is necessary and even good.
As Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson noted on Monday, before the ceasefire made headlines, “The danger we face now, then, is twofold: not just retaliation from Iran and its terrorist proxies, but machinations by establishment neocons and our corrupt intelligence apparatus to embroil us in a regime-change war in the Middle East.”
“If Trump wants truly to embrace a Jacksonian foreign policy and advance his America First agenda at home, he’ll resist that temptation,” Davidson warned.
As it stands now, the man who ushered in the Abraham Accords during his first term appears to have successfully warded off yet another war in the Middle East.
“God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” Trump concluded his post.
