In brief

As the cease-fire seemed to take effect on June 24, President Trump's dissatisfaction with both Israel and Iran marked the notable conclusion of a 12-day conflict. The truce materialized largely due to efforts by Qatar and comes in the wake of a series of deadly missile strikes. Trump criticized Israel for launching strikes immediately following the agreement, expressing his discontent just before leaving for a NATO summit in The Hague. He emphasized the need for both nations to adhere to the cease-fire to avoid further escalation.
