24.06.2025 โ‡ข Day Ceasefire Claims Unravel
โŒจTrump's overnight announcement of a "complete" Israel-Iran ceasefire triggered immediate market reactions, with oil prices plunging and Asian stocks rising. Japanese officials welcomed the development, continuing their pattern of supporting US diplomatic initiatives since the conflict escalated to direct American involvement two days earlier.

The ceasefire narrative shifted repeatedly throughout the day. Initial skepticism gave way to official confirmation from Netanyahu's office by late morning, with both Israeli and Iranian sources acknowledging the agreement. However, reports emerged by afternoon of Israeli attacks occurring after the supposed ceasefire, with Israel claiming violations and issuing attack orders.

Japanese coverage evolved from market optimism to cautious assessment, describing an "intense day" requiring vigilance despite the formal agreements. The focus shifted from celebration of de-escalation to concerns about durability, reflecting the broader pattern of initial Trump announcements followed by implementation challenges that has characterized recent Middle East developments.
