12 posts from ‘12 day war': How Trump live-posted Israel-Iran conflict
After 12 days of intense air strikes between Iran and Israel, US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the rivals had reached a ceasefire.
The ceasefire came after the US struck three key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. In retaliation, Tehran launched a missile attack on the Al Udeid airbase in Qatar – the largest United States military base in the Middle East – with no reported injuries as a result.
As Iran and Israel traded missile salvoes, Trump stayed busy on social media, especially on Truth Social, which he owns.
Here are 12 posts authored by Trump, chronicling the Iran-Israel conflict over what he calls a '12-day war'.

Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to 'make a deal.' They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!

The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!

Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!

Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!

We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn't compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured 'stuff.' Nobody does it better than the good ol' USA.

We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT. THANK YOU! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The damage to the Nuclear sites in Iran is said to be 'monumental.' The hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military. Thank you!

It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!

Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14 missiles fired – 13 were knocked down, and 1 was 'set free,' because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their 'system,' and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! 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. 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.' This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

Why is NATO boosting defence spending and can Europe afford it?
In a political win for US President Donald Trump, NATO member states have endorsed a big new defence spending target. In what marks a major shift for NATO, the bloc's member states have agreed to raise defence spending to five percent of gross domestic product (GDP). The move will inject billions more dollars into armies and weapons, raising questions over how governments will foot the bill. With public budgets under strain, many European politicians dismissed the target as unachievable earlier this year, when US President Donald Trump demanded it. Europe's priorities now appear to be shifting to security, citing growing threats from Russia. And Chinese goods are flooding markets from Southeast Asia to Europe. Plus, top economists call for debt relief in developing nations.

Israeli attacks kill at least 51 as Trump signals progress in Gaza talks
Israeli attacks have killed at least 51 people in the Gaza Strip, including 14 Palestinians who were waiting near aid distribution centres, medical sources told Al Jazeera, even as United States President Donald Trump said 'great progress' was being made to bring an end to the war. Sources at al-Awda and Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospitals in Gaza told Al Jazeera that at least nine Palestinians were killed and several others injured by Israeli fire early on Wednesday while waiting for aid near the Netzarim Junction in central Gaza. The deaths are the latest in a wave of violence near aid distribution points established late last month by the controversial Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The GHF has come under fierce criticism from aid agencies and the United Nations, which says the group is not able to meet the population's needs and turns food into a weapon for Israel to carry out its military operations. Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud said aid distribution centres run by GHF are typically established very close to where Israeli forces are stationed, with their tanks, armoured vehicles and surrounding snipers. 'So when large crowds gather, they are vulnerable to Israeli fire,' he said. 'Disturbingly, people are given just 20-minute windows at the aid centres to get their hands on whatever is available, such as food parcels. Once that 20-minute period ends, shooting often starts. That is one of the reasons we're seeing large numbers of people dying at these centres,' he added. There is growing pressure on the GHF, which was brought into the Palestinian territory at the end of May, to look into the attacks. But the organisation has denied responsibility. Israel has said previous shootings near GHF aid sites have been provoked by the approach of 'suspects' towards soldiers. Deir el-Balah home hit 'without warning' In addition to the killings near aid distribution points, Al Jazeera's Mahmoud said five people were killed in the bombing of a home in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. 'Five family members were killed instantly by a bomb dropped there. Three other family members were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp,' he said. Ramzi Khaled, a Gaza City resident who was close to a building sheltering displaced people when Israeli forces attacked it overnight told the Reuters news agency: 'Suddenly, without any previous warning, people who are staying and living in a shelter that is al-Shawwa [fuel] station … Without any previous warning, the place was hit.' 'The ceiling was toppled to the ground. They are all in pieces. Approximately 12 people [were] present in this building; they are all in pieces. We retrieved what we could, three people in pieces, and here we are trying to retrieve some, a martyr and the rest who are under the rubble,' he added. Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 56,077 people and wounded 131,848, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive. Israeli soldiers killed As Israel continues with its assault, its military said seven soldiers were killed in combat in Gaza on Tuesday. The military released the names of six of them, but withheld one as the seventh soldier's family was yet to be notified of his death. Those killed were aged between 19 and 21, according to the military. They were all members of the 605th Combat Engineering Battalion. An eighth soldier from the same unit was severely wounded and was medically evacuated to Israel, the military said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was 'a very difficult day for the people of Israel'. Trump notes 'great progress' As the fighting in Gaza continues, there have been signs that diplomatic efforts to end the war are gaining momentum. Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said on Tuesday that indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas could begin in the next two days. A senior Hamas official told the AFP news agency on Wednesday that talks had 'intensified in recent hours' with mediator countries. 'Our communications with the brother mediators in Egypt and Qatar have not stopped and have intensified in recent hours,' Taher al-Nunu said, adding that the group had 'not yet received any new proposals' to bring an end to the war now in its 21st month. Trump, who is currently in The Hague for a NATO summit, also told reporters that 'great progress' was being made to bring an end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. 'I think great progress is being made on Gaza, I think because of this attack that we made,' said Trump, suggesting the US strikes on Iran could have a positive effect on the Middle East, adding that his special envoy to the region, Steve Witkoff, had told him 'Gaza is very close' to a peace deal. Yossi Mekelberg, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House in London, told Al Jazeera that many Israelis are also questioning the wisdom of continuing the war in Gaza. 'Trump is more popular in Israel right now than Netanyahu … and especially on the Iran issue,' he said, referring to the US president's involvement in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. He noted that Israelis want the remaining captives in Gaza released and are holding on to hope that Trump can achieve that faster than Netanyahu. 'They know that Netanyahu is … trying to continue the war in Gaza to maintain his coalition,' he said. 'Trump has a different agenda that might actually, in this case, match what Israelis want to see.'
