President Donald Trump provided an update on the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, brokered by his administration following a 12-day conflict. Speaking at a press event, Trump confirmed that U.S. and Iranian officials are scheduled to meet next week to discuss a potential long-term peace agreement, marking a significant step toward stability in the region. The ceasefire, announced on June 24, 2025, followed U.S.-led airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, which Trump claimed set back Iran’s nuclear program by decades, though initial assessments suggest a delay of several months. The truce has held for six days, with both nations reporting no major violations as of 11:58 AM CEST today. Earlier, on June 25, 2025, Trump met with NATO leaders in the Netherlands, where Secretary-General Mark Rutte praised his efforts, noting the 5% GDP defense spending commitment secured from allies as a related diplomatic success. Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, expressed optimism about a comprehensive peace deal, with Qatar facilitating discussions. Trump emphasized a focus on securing a Gaza ceasefire within the week. The administration continues to monitor the situation, with plans for further talks pending Iran’s response.
