The Cro magnon war: Iran-Israel Ceasefire !
A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding on June 24, 2025, following pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who personally intervened to de-escalate tensions after both sides violated the truce. Trump expressed frustration with both nations, accusing them of not adhering to the ceasefire agreement shortly after it was announced, but ultimately succeeded in getting Israel to call off further attacks to preserve the deal.
Israel claimed Iran violated the ceasefire by firing missiles toward northern Israel, while Iran denied these allegations and asserted that it would respect the ceasefire if Israel upheld its terms.
Trump’s involvement was critical, as he directly communicated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to scale down an airstrike and ensure the ceasefire remained intact.
Despite the ceasefire holding for now, skepticism remains, as both sides have presented competing narratives about who was at fault for the initial violations, and analysts caution that the truce could be short-lived.
Global reactions:
World leaders cautiously welcomed the ceasefire, with French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledging the fragile nature of the situation and Russian Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov expressing cautious optimism.
In the U.S., Democrats on Capitol Hill are attempting to pass measures to limit Trump’s ability to take further military action against Iran, though such efforts face significant political challenges.
Economic implications: Investors responded positively to the ceasefire, with oil prices declining and stock markets rising as the truce began to take hold.
