Via Reuters:
President Donald Trump
brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran on Monday
in a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and with
Trump’s team in contact with Iranian officials, a senior White
House official said.
The official, providing details of the ceasefire on
condition of anonymity, said Israel agreed to the ceasefire so
long as Iran does not launch fresh attacks. Iran signaled it
would abide by the agreement, the official said.
In direct and indirect contact with the Iranians were U.S.
Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S.
special envoy Steve Witkoff, the official said.

All this not confirmed/confirmed out of Iran is perhaps indicative of infighting at high levels? Dunno, just floating it out there.
I am now hearing (unconfirmed) some speculation of a coup in Iran.
