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.

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth

Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.

Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.

"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.

"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.

The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".

The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.

"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.

The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."

It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
