JUST IN: Donald Trump Confirms Iran-Israel Ceasefire—-U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that a “complete and total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran will go into force with a view to ending the conflict between the two nations.
Trump appeared to suggest that Israel and Iran would have some time to complete any missions that are underway, at which point the ceasefire would begin in a staged process.
“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’,” he wrote on his Truth Social site.
Trump declared a ceasefire minutes after each side threatened new attacks.
CNN reported shortly before Trump’s post that Iran had not received any ceasefire proposal and saw no reason for one, citing a senior Iranian official.
Earlier on Monday, Trump said he would encourage Israel to proceed towards peace after dismissing Iran’s attack on an American air base that caused no injuries and thanking Tehran for the early notice of the strikes.
There was no immediate comment from Israel on Trump’s statement.
Hours earlier, three Israeli officials had signaled Israel was looking to wrap up its campaign in Iran soon and had passed the message on to the United States.

Donald Trump Threatens NATO Exit

JUST IN: Donald Trump Threatens NATO Exit After Rift Over Iran War—-US president Donald Trump brands alliance a “paper tiger” and lashes out at Britain as Keir Starmer defends NATO.

Donald Trump says he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of North Atlantic Treaty Organization after allies refused to support US military action against Iran.

In an interview with Britain’s Daily Telegraph, Trump described NATO as a “paper tiger” and said removing the US from the alliance was now “beyond reconsideration.” He accused European allies of failing to back Washington during the conflict with Iran and criticised their refusal to send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also took aim at Britain, mocking the state of its navy and criticising Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s focus on renewable energy.

“You don’t even have a navy,” Trump said. “All Starmer wants is costly windmills.”

Starmer responded by insisting Britain remains fully committed to North Atlantic Treaty Organization, calling it “the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen.” He said his government would continue to act in Britain’s national interest despite mounting pressure from Washington.

BREAKING: Dangote Refinery Hikes Petrol And Diesel Prices Amid Economic Strain

Dangote Refinery Hikes Petrol And Diesel Prices

BREAKING: Dangote Refinery Hikes Petrol And Diesel Prices Amid Economic Strain—-Dangote Petroleum Refinery has revised its ex-depot prices, increasing the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to ₦1,175 per litre, while Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), commonly known as diesel, has been raised to ₦1,620 per litre.

The latest revision marks the fourth consecutive price review in less than two weeks amid global market volatility, according to a report by Petroleumprice.ng.

Quoting industry sources, the report noted that the new pricing template has been communicated to marketers, following earlier adjustments this month.

Under the revised structure, the ₦1,175 per litre petrol price reflects a significant jump from the previous ₦995 per litre, while diesel has surged sharply from its prior ₦1,430 per litre level, underlining the continued upward trend in domestic fuel pricing.

The development is likely to have a ripple effect across Nigeria’s downstream petroleum market, as depot operators and fuel marketers adjust supply costs in response to the revised prices announced by the country’s largest refining facility.

The refinery had yet to issue an official statement on the development as of the time of filing this report.

Oil prices soared 30 per cent today on fears about supplies from the Middle East, as the US-Israeli war against Iran continued into a second week with no sign of letting up.

Fears grew that the Middle East conflict could last for some time after US President Donald Trump said only the “unconditional surrender” of Iran would end the war.

He added at the weekend that the spike in prices was a “small price to pay” to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat, reiterating the White House’s insistence that the rise is temporary.

Since the beginning of the war, WTI is up more than 75 per cent and Brent more than 60 per cent.

Attacks on oilfields were reported in southern Iraq and in the northern autonomous Kurdistan region, which forced a US-run oilfield to cease production, while the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have started reducing output.

That came with maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz — through which a fifth of global crude and gas passes — halted since the war began on February 28.
