Israel, Iran Announce Cease-Fire as Global Leaders React

World leaders have cautiously welcomed the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Iran announced by President Trump, though concerns about its durability persist amid accusations of continued attacks. President Trump, involved in brokering the deal, expressed frustration over ongoing hostilities and vowed to try to halt them. Russia, France, Germany, and Qatar have all voiced hope for a sustainable cease-fire while acknowledging the fragile situation. Japan strongly supports the cease-fire and emphasizes the importance of peace and stability in the Middle East, given its reliance on the region for energy supplies, and urges the resumption of dialogue, especially concerning U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Japanese officials have expressed relief but remain concerned about escalating violence and the safety of their nationals in the region. While Iran and Israel have yet to officially confirm the cease-fire, both sides have made statements suggesting conditional acceptance, with Iran indicating it will stop retaliating if Israel ceases attacks.
