MOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. The Kremlin cannot predict when Israel and Iran will cease fire because it lacks details about the ceasefire talks, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had fully agreed to implement the ceasefire agreement about six hours after its announcement, that is about 7:00 a.m. Moscow time (4:00 a.m. GMT). According to the US leader, Tehran will cease fire first, followed by Tel Aviv twelve hours later, and "upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world."

"As far as we understand, there were contacts mediated by, contacts of the US president with his counterpart in the Middle East. We don’t know all the details, which is why we can't tell you everything for sure," the spokesman said in response to a question about whether the Kremlin shared Trump’s optimism.

Peskov recalled that, from the beginning, Russia urged the parties to abandon military methods of settling the issue. "Russia calls for the complete elimination of unprovoked attacks on states, such as Iran, and for the settlement of accumulated problems through political and diplomatic means," the spokesman noted.

In the early morning hours of June 13, Israel launched a military operation against Iran. Less than 24 hours later, Iran retaliated. Nine days later, on the morning of June 22, US jets attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities, entering the conflict. The following evening, Tehran launched a missile strike on Al Udeid, the largest US military airbase in the region, located in Qatar. According to US authorities, there were no casualties or significant damage.

On June 24, Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a complete ceasefire. The Israeli authorities confirmed that they had accepted the US proposal and announced that they had completed all tasks set for the operation against Iran.
