On June 23, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a significant ceasefire between Israel and Iran after 12 days of escalating conflict. Trump declared on his social media platform that a “complete and total ceasefire” had been agreed upon, signaling an end to the hostilities. The announcement came after Iran’s missile strikes on a U.S. military base in Qatar, which were in retaliation for recent American attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.
However, despite the U.S. president’s declaration, Iran has not yet confirmed the ceasefire, and tensions remain high with continued missile alerts in Israel. Before the announcement, Iran launched missile barrages targeting U.S. positions, raising fears of a prolonged conflict.
Qatar played a crucial role as a mediator in the discussions between Israel and Iran that led to Trump’s surprising ceasefire announcement. Meanwhile, global travel faced significant disruptions, including:
- Numerous flight cancellations
- Airspace shutdowns affecting passengers worldwide
Fortunately, the Gulf states have started reopening their airspace and resuming flight operations amid the complex situation.
The world is watching closely as the situation unfolds, with major powers assessing the impact on geopolitical stability and energy markets. Important questions remain about:
- The enforcement of the ceasefire
- Further details and confirmations from Israeli and Iranian officials
