Donald Trump claimed on Monday that Israel and Iran approached him for peace "almost simultaneously", with his fresh claim coming hours after his announcement that the Asian rivals have accepted a United States-proposed ceasefire pact to end their " 12-day war ."
"Israel & Iran came to me, almost simultaneously, and said, 'PEACE! I knew the time was NOW. The World, and the Middle East, are the real WINNERS!," the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The two countries, he added, would see "tremendous love, peace and prosperity in their futures."
"They have so much to gain, and yet, so much to lose if they stray from the road of RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH. The future for Israel & Iran is UNLIMITED, & filled with great PROMISE. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!" Trump added.
'Trump begged for ceasefire': Iran
On the other hand, Tehran claimed that the US leader had "begged" it to accept truce.
"The ceasefire has been imposed on Israel following Iran's 'successful' attack on the US base in Qatar. Trump begged for a ceasefire following the attack," the state-run IRINN announced in Iran, according to BBC.
