Trump posted the ceasefire terms on Truth Social.
"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… During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful."

According to Trump, Iran would begin the ceasefire at hour 12. Israel would follow at hour 24. A global salute to the "12 Day War" ending would follow.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s office confirmed that Israel launched a major assault hours ahead of the ceasefire starting, hitting central Tehran. "We attacked forcefully in the heart of Tehran, hitting regime targets and killing hundreds of Basij and Iranian security forces," the statement read.
Iranian media confirmed nine casualties in the northern Gilan province. Fars News Agency said, "Four residential buildings were completely destroyed and several neighboring houses were damaged in the blasts."

Israel destroyed a radar installation near Tehran and was preparing a broader offensive before Trump publicly expressed his anger.
"I'm really unhappy about Israel going out this morning… because of the one rocket that didn’t land — perhaps by mistake. You know what we have? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing. Do you understand that?" the president told reporters.
