U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is now in effect, urging both sides not to violate it. This came just hours after Iran launched multiple missile attacks, killing four people in the Israeli city of Beersheba.
On Monday, Trump announced a "complete ceasefire" to end 12 days of fighting, allowing both sides time to complete ongoing operations before it took effect. Witnesses reported explosions in Tel Aviv and Beersheba shortly before his statement.
Israel’s military confirmed Iran launched six waves of missiles. Iran’s media later reported that its final round was fired just before the ceasefire deadline. Iran’s foreign ministry said they would stop if Israel halted its “aggression.”
Trump reportedly brokered the deal in a call with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Qatar also played a role, and U.S. officials were in contact with Iran during talks.
Israel and the U.S. launched major airstrikes over the weekend on Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons, though U.S. officials say they were close.
Markets reacted positively to the ceasefire, with U.S. stock futures rising and oil prices dropping.
Despite heavy strikes and an evacuation of people from Tehran, Trump said the goal was only to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program—not to start a wider war.
Vice President JD Vance claimed Iran’s nuclear capabilities were destroyed, though U.S. intelligence still believes Iran wasn't building a bomb.
