The State Department described the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement<\/a> between Israel and Iran as \u201cfragile\u201d but \u201csteady,\u201d despite some earlier concerns about each side violating terms of the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith any ceasefire dynamic, it’s fragile. And in the meantime, of course, things did come together, and there has been quiet in that region,\u201d State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said at a press briefing Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Bruce also said Trump\u2019s proclivity for making \u201cclear his opinion\u201d through social media posts and other public statements is what \u201ckeeps things moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president has believed from the beginning that diplomacy can stop wars, that it is the thing that we should rely on. He leaned into that, and it’s continuing to work,\u201d Bruce added. \u201cThis is a dynamic now that is in play and is, I think, steady.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump on Monday announced the parameters of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying he was confident it would end the fighting \u2014 which he dubbed the \u201c12-day war.\u201d The announcement came just two days after the U.S. entered the conflict<\/a>, hitting three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cCONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,\u201d Trump posted to Truth Social at 6 p.m. EDT, adding that it would begin\u00a0\u201cin approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump indicated Iran would stop the fighting first, followed by Israel and that all fighting would end in a matter of 24 hours.<\/p>\n

But early Tuesday, the ceasefire appeared to be on shaky grounds as Israel accused Iran of violating the deal and vowed retaliation. Iran denied those claims.<\/p>\n

Trump issued a stern warning<\/a> to Iran but took aim at Israel, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe basically \u2014 we have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don\u2019t know what the f\u2011\u2011\u2011 they\u2019re doing,\u201d Trump told reporters at the White House before taking off for a trip to The Hague for the NATO summit.<\/p>\n

Trump, shortly thereafter, announced on Truth Social that Israel agreed not to attack and that the ceasefire was still in effect. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel \u201crefrained from additional strikes\u201d against Iran after speaking to Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly \u2018Plane Wave\u2019 to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
