How Trump’s Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement came together
SUMMARY: In a rapid 48-hour period, President Trump navigated emotions from elation to frustration while negotiating a fragile Israel-Iran ceasefire following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. With diplomatic help from Qatar, Trump pressed Israeli PM Netanyahu and Iranian officials to halt hostilities, claiming Iran’s nuclear capability was severely damaged. Despite Trump’s ceasefire announcement and warnings to Israel against further attacks, clashes continued briefly. Netanyahu eventually agreed to the ceasefire after Trump’s stern phone call. Trump celebrated the deal as a major achievement, emphasizing the U.S. had ended the war and destroyed Iran’s nuclear threat, aiming to shift toward diplomacy.
