Israel silent on ceasefire

Iranian foreign minister stated on X that Tehran has halted its attacks against Israel as of 4 AM local time. In the cryptic statement, the top diplomat added that Iran carried out its attacks “until the last minute” before the clock hit 4 AM.

While reports have stated that the Israeli government has backed the ceasefire, an official confirmation from Prime Minister Netanyahu's office is awaited.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced after Iran carried retaliatory attacks on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Monday night's attacks came as a response to American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites of Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow.
