Live updates: Trump says Israel, Iran have reached ceasefire

President Trump called for “Peace and Harmony” on Monday afternoon and hours later announced a ceasefire had been reached between Iran and Israel.

In a Truth Social post that started out, all-caps, with “Congratulations to everyone!” the president laid out the terms: “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL.”

Earlier in the day, Iran attacked a U.S. air base in Qatar, retaliating for US strikes. Iran said its attack on the Al Udeid base was to counter the “aggressive and brazen action of the United States against Iran’s nuclear sites and facilities.”

The Trump administration has maintained confidence that Saturday’s bombings of three nuclear sites in Iran did the job of dismantling Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

At the Capitol, Speaker Mike Johnson came out against a bipartisan war powers resolution to prevent U.S. intervention in Iran, a show of support for Trump as dozens of lawmakers question the weekend strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) introduced a war powers resolution last week. 

Senate Republicans face a crucial stretch in moving Trump’s agenda forward, with the “big, beautiful” tax-and-spending bill expected to hit the floor by midweek. The Senate parliamentarian is assessing the legislation and approving, or in some cases knocking down, provisions that will allow it a fast-tracked vote.

In the House, the annual budgeting process begins, ahead of the fiscal year’s end on Sept. 30.
