Instant Reaction: Trump Announces Tentative Israel-Iran Ceasefire

President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a tentative ceasefire in their conflict that would begin around midnight Washington time on Monday. Trump, who made the surprise announcement on his Truth Social platform days after ordering airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, said the accord is aimed at a lasting end to the fighting. “On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called “THE 12 DAY WAR.”   For instant reaction and analysis, host Doug Krizner spoke with Bloomberg Balance of Power cohost Joe Mathieu, and Jonathan Panikoff, director of the Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative at the Atlantic Council's Middle East Program.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
