Iran has formally agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, stating that its military objectives in the recent conflict have been successfully accomplished. The announcement came on Tuesday from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, which emphasized that the country’s armed forces remain on high alert despite the truce.

The decision followed an earlier declaration by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed that both Israel and Iran had reached out to him seeking peace. “They both came forward, almost at the same time, and said, ‘PEACE!’” Trump stated, adding that the ceasefire would be a victory not only for the region but for the world.

In its official statement, the Iranian security council said the ceasefire was a “national decision” and warned that the military remains ready to deliver a “decisive and deterring” response to any potential breach of the truce by Israel or its allies. The statement also described recent Iranian attacks, including a missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar and barrages on Israeli targets, as a “humiliating” blow to its enemies.

“The bravery of our armed forces forced the Zionist enemy into submission, regret, and a unilateral end to its aggression,” the council declared.

Israel later confirmed it had agreed to the ceasefire. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed gratitude to President Trump and the U.S. military for their direct support during the conflict, particularly for the recent American strikes on Iranian targets.

Netanyahu’s office also emphasized that Israel would not hesitate to respond forcefully to any ceasefire violations and claimed that the country had successfully neutralized key nuclear and missile threats posed by Tehran.

Russia welcomed the truce, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling it a positive development. “This is exactly what Russia has been advocating since the start of the escalation,” Peskov told reporters, expressing hope that the ceasefire would be maintained.
