Israel And Iran Agree On Ceasefire After 12-Day Conflict
After nearly two weeks of escalating hostilities, Israel and Iran have officially agreed to a ceasefire, bringing temporary calm to one of the world's most volatile regions.
The truce was announced late Thursday following multiple rounds of back-channel diplomacy led by the United Nations, United States, and European Union. The ceasefire comes after 12 days of intense military exchange, cyberattacks, and regional proxy clashes that raised fears of a broader war in the Middle East.
According to official sources, both nations have agreed to halt offensive operations, reopen diplomatic communications, and cooperate on humanitarian aid in affected regions. While the agreement marks a moment of de-escalation, analysts caution that the ceasefire is fragile and could be disrupted by rogue actors or political hardliners.
Israeli Prime Minister and Iranian Supreme Leader issued cautious but optimistic statements. “Peace is not a weakness. It is the strength of civilization,” the Israeli leader stated during a press conference. Meanwhile, Iran called the ceasefire a "step towards justice and sovereignty in the region."
Key Points of the Ceasefire Agreement

The world now watches with cautious hope. If this truce holds, it could pave the way for new rounds of peace talks and long-term de-escalation between two of the most powerful players in the Middle East.
