US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance brokered the ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel with the help of top Qatari leaders who delivered a ceasefire proposal to Iran, a diplomat briefed on the negotiations told NBC News, the latter reports.

According to a senior White House official, Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and bluntly told him, “No more war, no more fighting. The Iranians have been significantly weakened."

As Trump was speaking with the Israelis from the Oval Office, his national security team was sending messages to the Iranians through intermediaries, the senior White House official said.

The senior White House official said Trump got Netanyahu to agree to the ceasefire and then Vance, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff signaled to the Iranians—“both directly and indirectly”—that the United States wanted a ceasefire and that the Iranians should agree to it.

Earlier, the US president announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

This information was later confirmed in Tehran and Tel Aviv.
