Now confirmed by all parties:

From Trump:
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

Iran initially called all this "lies", but now..

A senior Islamic Republic of Iran official has confirmed to Reuters that the Islamic Republic has agreed to a ceasefire proposal.

A senior Iranian official confirms to the Reuters news agency that Iran is agreeing to a Qatar-mediated, US-proposed ceasefire with Israel.

Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani secured Tehran’s agreement to the US proposal for a ceasefire during a call with Iranian officials, an official briefed on the negotiations tells Reuters.

The call took place after Iran’s strikes on a US air base in Qatar on Monday, the official says.

So shooting missiles into Qatar wasn't a great idea.

And how about Israel? Some are reporting it's a deal, others aren't:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a security cabinet meeting that carried on into early Tuesday morning as US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, set to go into effect later on Tuesday.

Following the meeting's conclusion, Netanyahu asked ministers to avoid making public statements.

That Iran agreed to this tells us

*Their military has been severely degraded
*They likely can't even mount token responses for much longer
*With no ability to resist any air attack, the next things to go would be their oil infrastructure. That's Game Over for their economy in that case
*Their jamming stunt in the Gulf pissed off China, who likely said Don't Do That
*They have no ability to project power via Hamas and Hezbollah anymore, as the former is tied up and the latter doesn't really exist anymore

and

*The Mullahs need time to rebuild and re-assert control over the country.

And now...Tehran is saying no deal:

https://x.com/araghchi/status/1937311435882922420?...

As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around.

As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.

The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.

....in the most "Yeah, we have a deal, we're just not going to call it that" way.
