Iran ends attacks on Israel after Trump tells both sides to ‘stop shooting’

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Iran and Israel are moving toward a ceasefire to halt their recent cycle of military engagements. According to his statement, both nations are showing a willingness to de-escalate tensions and cease active hostilities. This development follows a period of heightened regional volatility characterized by direct strikes between the two powers. Trump indicated that his intervention played a role in encouraging both sides to step back from further conflict. The move marks a potential shift in the volatile security landscape of the Middle East as diplomatic channels remain open.

The potential de-escalation between Iran and Israel could significantly reduce the risk of a broader regional war and signals a shift in the incoming U.S. administration's approach to Middle Eastern diplomacy.
