President Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which could bring an end to a 12-day war that followed attacks on the nuclear sites of Iran, which were claimed by Israel and the U.S. to be close to attaining weapons capacity. Although Iran made its confirmation that it will uphold a ceasefire when Israel stops any attack, there has not been any other new attack. The deal has been reached under the condition of the calls between the U.S., Israeli, Qatari, and Iranian officials in order to avoid further escalation. The markets responded well, with the price of oil plunging and stock futures surging. Tension is still present, though the ceasefire is obtained, the evacuations and warnings are still present in the concerned areas.
