Trump Announces Israel-Iran Ceasefire Amid Continuing Missile Strikes, Military Attacks

News summary

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, claiming that both countries had agreed to halt hostilities after winding down their final missions. However, this announcement was met with skepticism and was denied by Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who stated there was no formal ceasefire agreement. Despite Trump's claim that a 12-hour ceasefire would begin with Iran ceasing operations first followed by Israel, Iran continued military actions until 4 a.m. Tehran time, and Israeli airstrikes persisted, including multiple explosions in Tehran shortly after the announcement. The conflict escalated following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which prompted retaliatory missile attacks from Iran on U.S. bases in the region, notably the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Trump responded to the missile attacks by highlighting that most missiles were intercepted and expressed no intent to retaliate further, while Iran insisted it would cease military action only if Israel ended its airstrikes. The situation remains tense and unresolved, with ongoing military exchanges despite the U.S. president's declaration of a ceasefire.
