In a significant turn of events, Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire following damage inflicted on Iranian nuclear and military facilities by Israel and the subsequent intervention of US President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement thanking President Trump and the United States for their support and role in addressing the Iranian nuclear threat. The Israeli government also cautioned Iran, warning of a forceful response to any ceasefire violations. The statement confirmed Israel’s agreement to the President’s proposed ceasefire, and instructed citizens to follow IDF Home Front Command directives. Despite the formal agreement, military actions persisted from both sides, with sirens sounding and reports of strikes. President Trump announced the ceasefire’s commencement on his ‘Truth Social’ account.
