A diplomat briefed on negotiations NBC News said Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the deal with the help of the leading leaders of the Qatari who submitted a ceasefire proposal to Iran.
According to a senior White House official, Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told him frankly, “No more war is no longer a fight. The Iranians have weakened greatly.”
White House official said that while Trump was talking to the Israelis from the Oval Office, his national security team was sending messages to the Iranians across the mediators.
The senior White House official said that Trump obtained Netanyahu on the approval of the ceasefire, then Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkev indicated to the Iranians – “directly and indirectly” – that the United States wanted a ceasefire and that the Iranians should agree to that.
The official said that the ceasefire in the stages-in which Iran would stop shooting for 12 hours before Israel did the same for another 12 hours-Trump’s idea was to satisfy Israeli concerns that Iran would not hold the end of the deal.

“However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people at a date not exceeding four in the morning, we have no intention to continue our response after that,” Araghchi wrote. “The final decision will be taken on stopping our military operations later.”
Iranian health officials said that Israel had killed at least 400 people in Iran and wounded 3000. Iranian retaliatory strikes killed at least 24 people in Israel.
“Many people were dying, and it would have only been getting worse,” Trump told NBC News Monday evening.
The United States attacked Iran during the weekend, hitting three nuclear facilities in a blow that included more than 125 US military aircraft.
A warning challenge from Trump that revenge against American assets “will meet more strongly”, Iran attacked a base in Qatar where thousands of American forces are stationed. Qatar said that there were no losses.
Trump described the Iranian revenge strike “a weak response” on Monday afternoon on the social truth, adding that Tehran could “can extend to peace” and that “Israel will enthusiastically encourage the same thing.”
When Trump later announced that a ceasefire agreement was reached, he suggested that the conflict between Israel and Iran be called “war 12 days.”
