The US president congratulated Iran and Israel for trying to reach a deal but neither country has confirmed the deal and is at war.
“Based on the assumption that everything will work out, which it will, I want to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, for having the strength, courage and intelligence to end what should be called the ’12 Day War,'” Trump said in a social media post.
This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it hasn’t and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless America, and God bless the world!”
Neither Israel nor Iran has confirmed the agreement.
Trump’s statement said that Iran would cease firing on Israel hours before the end of the Israeli military operation.
