If Iran and Israel do stop firing, Trump's strikes may pay off

If the US president has helped to end the fighting it would mark a significant step back from the brink of a regional conflict.

Trump announced on Monday evening that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire that he said could lead to a lasting peace.

If the American president has in fact ended what he labelled the "12 Day War", it would make for a significant step back from the brink of a conflict that seemed on the verge of engulfing the region, along with pulling America further in after US airstrikes hit Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.

"Provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement, "we have no intention to continue our response afterwards."

The Israeli government later said it agreed to the proposal after "achieving the objectives" of its attacks on Iran.
