The White House declares victory

The White House has declared victory after announcing a ceasefire with Iran, although Israel has yet to issue an official response.

"This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our extraordinary military made possible," White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt said in a post on social media, adding that he reopened the Strait of Hormuz.

Leavitt points out that the president said from the beginning that "Operation Epic Fury" would be a four- to six-week operation, adding that the US achieved and exceeded key military objectives in 38 days.

"Our military's success created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and team to engage in difficult negotiations that have now created an opportunity for a diplomatic solution and lasting peace," she wrote./ CNA
