Trump Announces Israel-Iran Ceasefire After U.S. Strikes: “Peace Through Strength”

Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, following a dramatic series of events including American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Trump, who played a key role in brokering the deal, described it as a triumph of diplomacy backed by strength.
The ceasefire announcement came just hours after the U.S. launched precision strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, sparking fears of a broader regional conflict. Trump claimed the military action was necessary to bring Iran to the negotiating table and prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
“I told both sides that continued conflict would only lead to disaster,” Trump said during a press conference. “Now we have peace — peace through strength.”
Israeli and Iranian officials have not yet released full details of the agreement, but sources say the ceasefire includes a halt to further attacks, increased monitoring, and backchannel talks facilitated by regional allies.
The international community has responded with cautious optimism. While some praise Trump’s role in halting the immediate crisis, others warn that the underlying tensions remain unresolved and could reignite at any time.
For now, the guns have fallen silent — but the road to lasting peace in the Middle East remains uncertain.
