Wednesday, 25 June, 2025110 words2 minutes
A ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced by US President Donald Trump, aiming to end 12 days of conflict. Trump urged both nations to adhere to the agreement, using strong language to emphasize the need for peace.
However, the situation remains tense. Shortly after the ceasefire took effect, Israel accused Iran of launching missiles towards its territory, which Iran denied. Israel threatened to respond with 'powerful strikes' if the attacks continued.
The conflict began when Israel attacked Iranian nuclear and military sites, claiming Iran was close to building nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. The US later joined Israel in striking Iranian facilities.
