Ammon News - US ⁠President Donald ​Trump said ​on Monday that both Israel and Iran are looking ​to "do ‌an ⁠immediate ceasefire", and that final ‌negotiations on "peace" are proceeding.

"Both sides, ⁠Israel and Iran, are looking to ​do an ‌immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on “Peace” are proceeding, subject to ‌ignorance or stupidity ​getting in its way. The Blockade will remain in ​place, and in ​full force ​and effect, until a “Final Deal” is ​reached. Things should move quickly," Trump said in a post ⁠on Truth Social.

Earlier on Monday, Trump, ​in a Truth Social post on ​Monday ‌said ⁠that "Israel ‌and Iran must immediately stop 'shooting'".

Israel ⁠said it hit ​a ‌petrochemical plant in Iran's southwest, ‌along with ​strikes elsewhere on military targets, after Trump ​reportedly told ​Israeli ​Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ​to refrain from further attacks.

President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hours before the strikes not to retaliate after Tehran conducted a retaliatory attack on Israel.

A U.S. defense official said the U.S. military was not involved in the Israeli strikes on Iran.
