Iran Declares End to the “12‑Day War”

• President Masoud Pezeshkian officially declared the war over, describing it as a conflict “imposed by Israel” and affirming Iran’s readiness to observe the ceasefire—provided Israel holds to it

• The ceasefire, brokered by U.S. President Trump and supported by Qatar, came into effect late on June 23–24, after intense airstrikes and missile exchanges. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

🔥 Conflict Overview:

• The hostilities, spanning roughly 12 days, began with Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites around June 13, followed by Iranian missile strikes and U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities

• The conflict inflicted heavy civilian tolls—around 610 civilians killed in Iran and 28 in Israel

⚠️ The Ceasefire:

• It is a phased agreement: Iran began halting operations first, followed by Israel after about 12 hours

• Both sides reported early violations: Iran allegedly launched missiles after the ceasefire started, while Israel conducted strikes near Tehran and at radar installations—initially denying or justifying them as responses

🌐 Regional & Global Implications:

• The truce has eased oil price spikes and provided a momentary calm in the region

• It has opened a possible window for Iran to re-engage with the U.S. over nuclear negotiations, potentially reviving talks around the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) .

• Questions remain about the durability of this ceasefire, as both countries have warned the other of renewed retaliation if the truce is breached

✅ In Summary:

Iran has officially ended the war after 12 days of hostilities, with the ceasefire brokered by the U.S. and Qatar holding—for now. Underneath the calm, the risk of renewed conflict persists, while diplomatic efforts begin to capitalize on this fragile peace.
