ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Tuesday, in a post on X, welcomed US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
“Restraint and dialogue are the only way forward. The region needs stability, respect for neighbors and partners, and decisions based on wisdom and responsible leadership,” the prime minister said.
President Trump on Tuesday announced the deal earlier on his TRUTH Social platform, stating: “Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete and total ceasefire.” He outlined a phased de-escalation plan, with Iran initiating the ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later. At the 24-hour mark, the international community is expected to recognize the end of the 12-day war officially.
