Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran after 38 days of Operation Epic Fury, calling it a 'total and complete victory' and a 'big day for World Peace.' The agreement was reached shortly before his deadline to escalate strikes, with Trump expressing confidence that most elements of a 15 point framework had been settled. Iran, led by Mojtaba Khamenei, also claimed victory, saying Washington had accepted its 10 point proposal.

Trump said the United States would help stabilise shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and remain present to ensure the deal holds, predicting 'positive action' and significant economic gains. He suggested the agreement could usher in a 'Golden Age of the Middle East' and indicated that Iran could begin reconstruction with support and supplies.

Questions remain over the durability and scope of the truce, including how Iran's nuclear programme and enriched uranium stockpile will be handled. Israel has backed the United States led ceasefire but said it does not cover its conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, while Pakistan has claimed the deal applies more broadly, highlighting uncertainty over its full reach and implementation.
