Iran Agrees to U.S.-Proposed Ceasefire with Israel, Mediated by Qatar
On June 24, 2024, a senior Iranian official confirmed that Iran has agreed to a U.S.-proposed ceasefire with Israel, following mediation efforts by Qatar. The agreement was reached after a phone conversation between Iranian officials and Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The ceasefire proposal involves two 12-hour periods of cessation of hostilities, with Iran initiating the first 12-hour ceasefire, followed by Israel. After 24 hours, the war would officially end, provided both parties maintain peace and respect during the ceasefire period.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on his social media platform, Truth Social, on June 23, stating that the agreement would prevent a prolonged conflict that could have devastated the Middle East. Trump praised the resilience and wisdom of both nations in reaching the deal. A White House senior official added that Israel's agreement to the ceasefire was conditional on Iran refraining from further attacks. The official also noted that Trump played a pivotal role in facilitating the agreement during a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
However, the Israeli military spokesperson declined to comment on Trump's announcement, leaving some uncertainty about Israel's immediate response. The ceasefire negotiations were reportedly influenced by Trump's communication with Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, where he confirmed Israel's agreement and sought Qatar's assistance in persuading Iran.
The backdrop of the ceasefire includes Iran's attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar on June 23, which prompted discussions between Trump, Vice President Vance, and Qatar's Emir about the proposal. The ceasefire marks a significant diplomatic breakthrough in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, with Qatar emerging as a key mediator in the process.
