“Congratulations to everyone! It is completely agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire (in about 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have settled and completed their ongoing, final missions!) For 12 hours, at what time the war will be considered, ended!” he wrote.
“Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and on the 12th hour, Israel the ceasefire will start, and on the 24th hour an official end of the 12 -day war will be greeted by the world,” Trump added.
Trump praised both countries for their “endurance, courage and intelligence” to end what he called “12 -day war.”
“This is a war that could have gone for years and destroyed the whole Middle East, but it did not, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless US and God bless the world!” he said.
Pearl, the President of the US Israeli Education Association, was among those who praised Trump for his military maneuvers in recent days.

“This is what a peace producer and the leader of the free world does, he enters when both sides cannot agree, and he gives them an offer they cannot refuse,” wrote college -basketball coach at X. “He should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I pray that all sides can offer some grace and maintain peace.”
Pearl has supported Trump’s efforts to beat Iran and said the president wanted the world to be a “safer place.”
Last week he expressed support to the president as he weighed potential strikes over Iran.
“We can go back and talk about 1982 in Lebanon and all the American marines who were murdered,” he said at Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.” “We can talk about October 7, when 45 Americans were killed. And they abducted, you know, six or seven more and executed them before Israel saved them.
“This has been going on since 1979, and it is becoming a safer place, a non-nuclear Iran. And without having the money to be able to do what they have done, the world will be a safer place.”

“If the Middle East becomes more secure and stronger, look at what a dynamic land Israel is. Look at all the unicorns that are there. Look at all the high -tech and development. Look at all wealth. If you started spreading it to some of these other Middle Eastern countries, who will they cooperate with? The United States?
