Trump said in a Truth Social post just after 6 p.m. Eastern that a cease-fire will begin in about six hours, once Israel and Iran finish any attacks that are in progress, and that the pause in fighting will lead to an end to their brief but intense conflict. Details were limited, but the president wrote that "officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World." The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict does not officially have a name, but Trump wrote in his social media post that he "would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.'"
