Israel-Iran war live: Trump declares ceasefire in ‘12-day war’ hours after Tehran attacks US base in Qatar

Tensions between Israel and Iran reached a boiling point with Iran launching attacks on Israel and a US base in Qatar, but the conflict took a sudden turn when former US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire after 12 days of fighting. Iran's foreign minister claimed their forces kept up attacks "until the very last minute," while Qatar reported successfully defending against Iranian strikes.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another flare-up in the region—it’s a high-stakes escalation involving direct attacks, US involvement, and an unexpected political twist with Trump stepping in. The ceasefire could mean a pause in violence, but with Iran and Israel both claiming to have fought hard until the end, there’s no guarantee this truce will hold. The fact that a US base was targeted also raises questions about broader geopolitical risks.
