WashingtonThe confusion around the alto fire between Iran and Israel announced by Donald Trump only grow in the midst of Tel-Aviv’s silence and Tehran’s contradictory message. The US President announced this morning that both countries have agreed to a 12 -hour truce and, eventually, would end the war. “ It has been completely agreed and by mutual agreement between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total fire (in about 6 hours, when Israel and Iran have completed and completed their final missions in progress!), For 12 hours, at which time the war will be completed! ” He wrote the Republican to TRUTH Social two days after bombing Iranian nuclear facilities. Before only the time when the pause had to come into force, Iran seemed to contradict Trump and registered up to five nine attacks by Tehran against Israel.

Initially, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that “there was no agreement for the moment. “For the moment, there is no` `agreement ” on a ceasefire or on the cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime ends its illegal aggression against the Iranian people before 4 am, Tehran’s time, we do not intend to continue our answer afterwards, ” he wrote in a publication to X. and added that` `the final decision on our military operations will be given more military operations. forward ”.
Fifteen minutes later, in another post, Araghchi said he ended the attacks. “The military operations of our powerful armed forces to punish Israel for their aggression continued until the last minute, at 4 in the morning,” he wrote, hinting that they ended hostilities and that the truce began. At the domestic level, Iranian state television announced a ceasefire between the two countries, which, according to the presenter, has been “imposed on the enemy” thanks to the continuous attacks of the regime against Israel. Three hours after Iranian minister said that hostilities were over, Israel announced after six in the morning (Tel-Aviv time) that Iran had launched up to three waves of missiles. According to Reuters, three deaths have been recorded in Israel as a result of the Iranian attacks since the fire was announced.
The start of the truce announced by Trump was not simultaneous, but it had to start at 12 p.m. for Iran (six in the morning on Tuesday in Catalonia) and, six hours later, for Israel. The difference in Tempos, according to Trump’s message, is so that both countries can finish the actions they were taking. At the time Trump has announced the agreement, Israeli hunts had just entered the Iranian air space. On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they were “very close to fulfilling” with their goals.
Iran’s messages over the Alto Fire and the bombings against Israel have taken place before the truce for Tehran officially came into force. Even so, there have been a sixth round of missiles that have called into question if the aiatollas have broken the pact. According to Reuters, Iranian media say the latter attack was thrown before the truce was effective.
In a matter of hours, the president has gone from filling his mouth with warlike rhetoric and suggesting a “change of regime”, congratulating the aiatollas and saying “God bless Iran.” On Sunday afternoon, in another post in Truth, Trump assured that if “the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again – to make Iran great again – Why shouldn’t there be a change of regime? ”
“During each high -level period, the other party will remain peaceful and respectful. Based on the basis that everything will work as it should work – and it will be – I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, for having the resistance, courage and intelligence to end what should be called” the 12 -day war. ” This is a war that could have lasted for years and destroyed the whole Middle East, but it has not been the case, and it will never be! That God bless Israel, that God bless the Iran, that God bless the Middle East, that God bless the United States of America, and that God bless the world! “, Concluded Trump in his post.
The announcement occurs six hours after Iran launched more than a dozen missiles against the American base of Al-Mudeid, in Qatar, in response to the attack on its nuclear facilities. The aiatollas had coordinated with the Qatarian authorities and the White House had also been informed in advance of the offensive in order to minimize the casualties. Tehran’s reply prepared and notified in the USA was an indicator of Iranians’ will to schedule the situation. Concluding the attack on Al-Mudeid-where there was no fatal victim-Trump has been ready to reduce the tension. “Maybe now Iran can move towards peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same,” he wrote in a post -social post.
Israel’s official reasons on June 13 to attack Iran were the threat to Tel-Aviv that Tehran could develop nuclear weapons. This same argument is what Washington used on Saturday to drive the bombings against Iranian nuclear facilities. In the following appearance, Trump said that Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan had been “completely devastated”, although on Sunday morning, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, spoke of “severe damage” against these infrastructure. It is not the same “completely devastated” than to cause “severe damage”. In an interview this morning at ABC News, the White House Secretariat Karoline Leavitt answered the question of the degree of damage caused: “We are sure that the nuclear places of Iran were completely and completely destroyed.”
In an interview with the Fox, Vice President JD Vance, he said that Iran is now “unable” to build a nuclear bomb. “Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is unable to build a nuclear weapon with the equipment he has because we have destroyed it,” said Vance.
Beyond the nebula that seems to be around if the Iranian capabilities of the nuclear program have been completely destroyed, it is also the question of whether Iran really has never been able to create nuclear weapons. Last March, the National Intelligence Director, Tullesi Gabbard, stated that “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear programs he suspended in 2003.”
