Audio By Carbonatix

US President Donald Trump has announced a "complete and total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran on social media.

Trump says the ceasefire will begin "in approximately six hours from now" after each country has "wound down" their military operations.

Trump's announcement contains a periodic unravelling of hostilities but says that "upon the 24th hour" the war will officially end.

Israel and Iran have yet to confirm a ceasefire has been reached.

Trump's ceasefire announcement continues by saying: "On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries".

The US president is calling the latest Israel-Iran conflict "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!" Trump says in the post.
