Trump Announces Ceasefire Between Israel, Iran After 12-Day War

President Donald Trump has actively engaged in the escalating conflicts in the Middle East, urging a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza. Despite ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, Trump expressed optimism that a ceasefire could be reached soon. Concurrently, Trump intervened in the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, ordering U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and subsequently imposing a ceasefire after Iran retaliated with missile attacks on U.S. bases. While Trump claimed to have 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities, classified reports suggest the strikes only delayed Iran's program by months, a point Trump disputed. The ceasefire marked a halt to intense hostilities, with Trump facilitating talks between Israel and Iran, though questions remain about the long-term impact of the conflict and the strategic outcomes for the involved nations. Additionally, Trump has called for political support for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu amid his corruption trial, emphasizing U.S. backing for Israel.
