Overview

• President Trump, with assistance from Qatar’s leadership, announced a "complete and total" ceasefire on June 23 following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Iran’s retaliatory missile barrage.
• Both Israel and Iran violated the truce within hours, with Iran firing missiles into Israeli territory and Israel launching strikes on Tehran before the ceasefire took effect.
• Trump publicly rebuked both countries using profanity over the breakdown and warned Israel to “not drop those bombs” or risk a major violation.
• Following a stern phone call from Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered warplanes to return home and halted further strikes on Iran.
• The fragile ceasefire now appears to hold, averting further escalation and offering a chance to stabilize the region and maintain oil flows.
