US suspends Iran bombing campaign after Trump secures last-minute ceasefire deal
President Donald Trump announced a 'double-sided ceasefire' with Iran less than two hours before his stated deadline, immediately suspending the US bombing campaign against Iranian targets. The agreement represents a dramatic de-escalation in Middle East tensions after Trump had threatened military action with extreme rhetoric. The ceasefire is significant for global stability, as a full US-Iran conflict could destabilize oil markets, regional alliances, and American military commitments across the Middle East. The agreement's terms and enforcement mechanisms will determine whether this represents a lasting diplomatic breakthrough or a temporary pause in hostilities.
