US-brokered ceasefire takes effect, ending the Twelve-Day War

The US-brokered ceasefire, mediated with Qatar, took effect around 04:00 GMT (07:00 Iran/Israel time) on 24 June 2025, with Iran halting attacks first under the phased plan. Trump announced at about 1:08 a.m. EDT that the ceasefire was 'now in effect.' An IDF spokesman later confirmed it, and both governments accepted the truce, formally ending the 12-day conflict.
