“Trump Claims Israel-Iran Ceasefire – But Will It Actually Work?”
(Source: Reuters, June 2025 – Full Story Below)
What Happened?
- Trump announced a surprise ceasefire between Israel and Iran after 12 days of intense bombing.
- But within hours, both sides accused each other of breaking the deal—Israel struck Iran, and Iran fired missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar.
- Trump publicly scolded Israel, telling them to “calm down now”—a rare criticism of a close ally.
Why It Matters
This was supposed to end the worst direct fighting ever between Israel and Iran. But experts (and Reuters sources) say big questions remain:
✅ Did the bombing actually stop Iran’s nuclear program? (U.S. spies say Iran wasn’t building a bomb anyway.)
✅ What’s the real deal? Trump didn’t explain the terms—just declared “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE!” on social media.
✅ Can enemies actually trust each other? Israel and Iran took hours to even admit they agreed to the truce.
What People Are Saying
- “The Israelis got what they wanted… Iran needed an escape.” – Former U.S. Intelligence Official (via Reuters)
- “Now that Trump declared ‘world peace,’ Netanyahu can’t easily say no.” – Middle East Expert (via Reuters)
- “Iran is weak, but will they really give up nukes?” – Former U.S. Negotiator (via Reuters)
Trump’s Big Gamble
- He broke his own rule by joining Israel’s bombing campaign—something he always promised to avoid.
- The strikes failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program fully, meaning talks might restart.
- If the ceasefire holds, Trump avoids a bigger war—but if it fails, fighting could explode again.
What’s Next?
🔴 Will Iran rebuild its nukes? (Risking new U.S./Israel strikes)
🔴 Will Israel listen to Trump? (Or keep attacking?)
🔴 Will oil prices stay calm? (Markets cheered the truce—for now.)
