'Ceasefire In Effect, Don't Violate It': Trump Warns Iran After Both Sides Report Continued Attacks

Earlier, Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire," which would bring about an end to the conflict just hours after Tehran targeted American Air bases in the Middle East. In a Truth Social post, Trump said Israel and Iran would likely exchange final blows over the next six hours before the deal would come into place on Tuesday.

"Iran will start the ceasefire and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the ceasefire and, upon the 24th Hour, an official end to the 12-Day War," he said.

Who negotiated ceasefire?

Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani secured Iran's approval for a US-proposed ceasefire in the conflict with Israel, Reuters reported, quoting an official briefed on the negotiations.

PM Al Thani obtained Tehran's agreement during a phone call with Iranian officials, Reuters reported. The conversation followed US President Donald Trump's communication with Qatar's Emir, in which Trump informed him that Israel had accepted the ceasefire proposal and requested Doha's assistance in convincing Tehran to agree to the deal.

No ceasefire: Iran foreign minister

Just after the announcement, Iran again launched missiles into Israel. The Times of Israel reported that 4 people were killed in Beersheba and several were injured in a hot on a residential building in the Southern city. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi took to the social media platform, X, and said, "As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations." However, he added that the Israeli regime stopped its "illegal aggression" against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time. "We have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later," he added.

Israel-Iran War

The conflict began on June 13 when Israel launched a massive airstrike on Iranian military and nuclear sites, codenamed "Operation Rising Lion". In retaliation, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initiated a large-scale drone and missile campaign called 'Operation True Promise 3', targeting Israeli fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centres.

Tensions escalated further after the US conducted precision airstrikes early Sunday morning on three key Iranian nuclear facilities under "Operation Midnight Hammer." Iran retaliated by launching multiple missiles at US military installations in Qatar and Iraq, including the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar--the largest US military base in the region.
