Iran-Israel live updates: Trump says countries agree to ceasefire

FeaturedUSA1 month ago13 Views

U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.

Iran’s foreign minister said Iran will stop its attacks if Israel stops its airstrikes by 4 a.m. local time in Tehran. Israel did not immediately acknowledge any ceasefire, but there were no Israeli strikes reported after 4 a.m.

“As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on social media. “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.”

Earlier Monday, Iran launched a missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of three key Iranian nuclear facilities. The U.S. said no casualties were reported.

What to know:

  • Qatar responds to Monday’s attack: A Qatari military officer said Iran fired 19 missiles at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and one impacted the facility but caused no casualties. The number of missiles differed from a figure given by Trump, who said 14 missiles were fired, 13 were knocked down and one was “set free.”
  • Trump says Iran gave warning: Trump says Iran alerted the U.S. before targeting the military base, thanking its leaders for the “early notice.” He also said he hopes that’s the only response to the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
  • How we got here: Israel launched a surprise barrage of attacks on sites in Iran on June 13, which Israeli officials said was necessary to head off what they claimed was an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs. Iran has retaliated with a series of missile and drone strikes in Israel, while Israel has continued to strike sites in Iran.
