US President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that Israel and Iran have reached a ceasefire agreement, effectively concluding what he termed the "12-day war" between the regional adversaries.
The truce will be implemented incrementally over the next 24 hours, according to the President's statement from the White House.
Trump's announcement came in direct response to a significant military escalation earlier that day, when Iran fired multiple missiles at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar - the largest US military installation in the Middle East. Video footage confirmed the attack on the strategic facility.
No immediate confirmation of the ceasefire terms was provided by either the Israeli or Iranian governments following Trump's unexpected declaration. The development marks a potential de-escalation after nearly two weeks of heightened hostilities between the two nations.
