MOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has come into effect, following mutual strikes by the Islamic Republic and the Jewish state. Both sides have reported casualties and injuries.
TASS has summed up the key facts about the development of the Middle East conflict.
US President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is already in full effect. The US leader called for it to be respected on his Truth Social media network. Iran’s Press TV channel also reported that a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel has come into force.
According to Trump, Israel and Iran almost simultaneously approached him with requests to mediate an end to the conflict and establish peace. Trump expects that the ceasefire would be indefinite: "It’s going to go forever."
He suggested that the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities contributed to the ceasefire agreement between the Islamic Republic and Israel, ultimately ending their conflict. He noted that he found it "very ironic" how the strike "brought everyone together, and the deal was made."
