Israel-Iran War LIVE: Iran and Israel on Tuesday agreed to accept US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire proposal to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East. The acceptance of the deal came after both the Jewish state and the Islamic republic final onslaught of missiles at each other. The Israeli strikes killed nine Iranians, including a nuclear scientist, the Iranian state media said.
At least seven people were also killed in Israel’s Be’er Sheva after an Iranian missile landed on a residential complex.
Iranian state television reported that the ceasefire went into effect at 7:30 a.m. (local time), but Iranian officials have not commented since Trump’s announcement. Hours earlier, Iran’s top diplomat said the country was prepared to halt airstrikes.
“As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote in a post on X. “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.”
Araghchi added: “The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.”
Trump’s ceasefire proposals came after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.
