Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani secured Iran’s approval for a US-proposed ceasefire in the conflict with Israel during a phone call with Iranian officials, suggests a report.

The development came after Donald Trump communicated with Qatar’s Emir, in which the US President informed him that Israel had accepted the ceasefire proposal and requested Doha’s assistance in convincing Tehran to agree to the deal, reported Reuters.

The high-level discussion took place hours after Iran’s missile strikes on US military installations in Qatar and Iraq earlier on Monday.

Following this, Trump in a post on Truth Social announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to what he called as a “complete and total" ceasefire, stating that it would take effect in approximately six hours.

Complete & Total Ceasefire: Trump

“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!" he wrote.

Trump added that Iran will initiate the ceasefire first, followed by Israel, resulting in a complete cessation of hostilities within the next 24 hours. “During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL," he added.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I 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’. This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!," he said.

“God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!" Trump added.

Iran-Israel War

The conflict between Iran and Israel began on June 13 when Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, codenamed "Operation Rising Lion".

In retaliation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated a large-scale drone and missile campaign, targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres.

Tensions escalated further after the US conducted precision airstrikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities under "Operation Midnight Hammer." Following this, Iran retaliated by launching multiple missiles at US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, including the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar–the largest US military base in the region.
