Tehran/Tel Aviv: In a surprise social media announcement, US President Donald Trump declared that Israel and Iran have reached an agreement to implement a "Complete and Total Ceasefire," marking the end of what he called "The 12 Day War."

Trump stated that the ceasefire would begin in approximately six hours, allowing both sides to conclude their ongoing operations. According to his announcement, Iran will initiate the ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later. A full 24 hours after the first cessation of hostilities, the war will be officially declared over.

“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE... at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump wrote.

He emphasised that each side would remain “peaceful and respectful” during the respective ceasefire periods. Praising the "stamina, courage, and intelligence" of both nations, Trump asserted that the war, which he said could have escalated into a years-long regional disaster, had been averted.

Concluding his statement, Trump offered blessings to Israel, Iran, the Middle East, the United States, and “THE WORLD.”

There has been no immediate confirmation of the ceasefire agreement from Israeli or Iranian officials.

Belthangady: A skeleton, allegedly buried as mentioned in the complaint related to the Dharmasthala mass burials case, has been exhumed and handed over to the Belthangady police. Pawan Deshpande, the lawyer representing the complainant, stated that all necessary legal procedures were followed and a formal statement was recorded before the judge.

The complainant, who has alleged the mass burial of bodies in Dharmasthala, appeared before the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC Court of Belthangady Taluk on July 11 to give his statement.

Speaking to the media after the court proceedings, advocate Pawan Deshpande said, “The complainant is prepared to clearly identify the locations where the bodies were buried. We will cooperate fully with the police on whatever date they set. Relevant information has already been submitted, and there is a concern that evidence could be destroyed. It is now the responsibility of the police to act and exhume the bodies as per the statement.”

When asked about the identity of the accused in the case, Deshpande clarified that the details have been submitted to the court and are with the investigating officer. “We do not have access to that information,” he said.

The lawyer also confirmed that the complainant has not been arrested or taken into police custody. “He is with us and will appear whenever the police direct him to. The complainant is cooperating with the investigation,” Deshpande added.
