'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',' Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social site.
Earlier, Mr. Trump thanked Iran for giving the U.S. and allies 'early notice' of Monday's (June 23, 2025) retaliatory missile strike aimed at a major U.S. military installation in the Gulf nation of Qatar.
The President expressed hope that Tehran — with its reprisal for the U.S. bombardment of three key Iranian nuclear facilities — had 'gotten it all out of their 'system'' and that the moment would lead to a de-escalation in the Israel-Iran war.

'Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,' he said. 'There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was 'set free,' because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction.'
