The Israeli government announced that it agreed to the ceasefire after successfully meeting its military objectives in Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has agreed to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for ceasefire with Iran.
In a statement, Israel said it had neutralised what it described as Iran's "dual immediate existential threat" – its nuclear weapons programme and ballistic missile capabilities.
The statement also claimed that Israeli forces had dealt significant blows to Iran's military leadership and destroyed multiple key government sites.
In the final day of operations, Israeli strikes reportedly targeted the heart of Tehran, killing hundreds of members of the Basij militia – a force often used to suppress dissent and eliminating another senior nuclear scientist.
Israel expressed its gratitude to President Trump and the United States for their support and involvement in efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear threat.
Meanwhile, Iran's semi-official SNN news agency reported on Tuesday that Tehran fired its last round of missiles before the ceasefire came into effect.
Israel has carried out attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities since 13 June, after alleging Tehran was getting close to obtaining a nuclear weapon which Tehran denied. Iran responded with retaliatory missile attacks at Israel.
