According to Trump, Tehran will be the first to cease fire, followed by the Jewish state after 12 hours, and "on the 24th hour, the world will celebrate the end of the 12-day war".
Trump expects the ceasefire between Israel and Iran to be permanent.
"I think the ceasefire is permanent. It will last forever," he told NBC News. The American leader claims that the war is completely over and that he does not believe that Israel and Iran will "ever shoot at each other again".
"Israel and Iran are in complete agreement that there will be a complete ceasefire", the American leader wrote on the social network Truth Social.
