President Donald Trump said Monday night that he expects the ceasefire that he announced between Israel and Iran will end all military hostilities between the two countries.
“I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever,” Trump said during a phone interview with NBC News.
Asked if the war was completely over, Trump said, “Yes. I don’t believe they will ever be shooting at each other again.”
Israel and Iran have not commented yet on the agreement announced by Trump earlier in the evening.
Trump said on Truth Social that the two countries had agreed to enter into a ceasefire, which would be rolled out in stages over the next 24 hours.
Iran’s U.N. mission declined to comment on whether Tehran had agreed to a ceasefire. Israeli officials have not weighed in either.
