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.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader

12-12-2025 ¦ 12-12-2025 IST

Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.

The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.

At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.

Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
