U.S. President Donald Trump declared the war with Iran finished, stating Tehran has agreed never to pursue nuclear weapons. The statement, reported by Israeli media, follows a series of diplomatic announcements advancing a resolution. A signing ceremony in Europe is expected within days.
President Donald Trump declared the war with Iran over at 06:52 Jerusalem — 'We finished today the war with Iran,' he said, adding that Tehran has agreed never to possess nuclear weapons. The statement, relayed by Israeli media, is the latest in a rapid series of announcements by Trump over the past 48 hours. Just minutes earlier at 22:32 Jerusalem on June 11, Trump reported that the nuclear issue was '95% of it' and 'done in the most powerful way,' and by 22:34 he specified that a signing ceremony in Europe could take place as early as this weekend, with Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff representing the US. The new wording goes further than any previous Trump statement by explicitly claiming a permanent nuclear commitment from Iran as a war-ending condition.
The desk first reported at 22:32 Jerusalem on June 11 that Trump had announced a deal preventing Iran from ever obtaining nuclear weapons. Over the following minutes, the thread evolved from a brief broadcast statement to a detailed declaration that the war itself had ended.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Trump had announced an 'excellent settlement' in principle to end the war (June 11, 23:08 Jerusalem), hours after declaring an end to the ceasefire and vowing 'very heavy' strikes (June 10, 19:56 Jerusalem), before pivoting to a negotiated path. The President had previously signaled confidence in a diplomatic resolution (June 9, 08:59 Jerusalem), and reports from June 7 indicated he was determined to end the confrontation with Iran at any cost.
No independent confirmation from Iranian officials has been published, and no venue or firm date for the signing ceremony has been set. The dramatic reversal from a posture of 'very heavy' strikes to a finished deal remains unverified by any source outside the President's own remarks.
