Israel Iran war LIVE updates: Qatar’s Prime Minister said that the country’s relationship with Iran had been damaged by Tehran’s missile strike on a US airbase located in Qatar, but expressed optimism that ties would eventually “come back to normal.”

The missile attack on the Al Ubeid air base came in response to US.\ involvement in Israel’s air offensive against Iran. Although Iran fired missiles on Monday, no casualties were reported, as Tehran had given prior warning. A ceasefire was announced by Washington just hours later.

Qatar, which lies just across the Gulf from Iran, has frequently played the role of mediator in regional disputes, including between Iran and the US, as well as in the ongoing Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: Donald Trump issued a warning to Israel, cautioning against any further airstrikes on Iran, saying such actions would violate the ceasefire he is attempting to mediate between the two nations.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: The Kremlin on Tuesday rejected criticism that it hadn’t sufficiently supported Iran, stating that it had taken a "clear position" by condemning the US and Israeli strikes on the country.

President Vladimir Putin described the US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities as "unjustified" and referred to the strategic cooperation treaty he signed with Tehran in January. He added on Monday that "Russia would try to help the Iranian people," though he did not elaborate on what form that assistance might take.

However, Iranian sources told Reuters earlier this week that Tehran had not been impressed with the level of support shown by Russia so far.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: An Air India spokesperson on Tuesday said that with airspaces gradually reopening in parts of the Middle East, the airline would begin resuming flights to the region starting today. Most operations to and from the Middle East are expected to resume from 25 June. Flights to and from Europe, which were previously cancelled, are also being reinstated in phases, while services to the US East Coast and Canada will restart as soon as possible. 

The spokesperson noted that "some flights may experience delays or cancellations due to consequential impacts and extended re-routings/flight times, but we are committed to minimising disruptions and restoring our schedule integrity." Air India also confirmed it would continue to steer clear of airspaces deemed unsafe, adding that "the safety and security of our passengers, staff, and aircraft remain our top priority."

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel is now active. “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT,” Trump posted around 9.10 am Dubai time. “PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”

Shortly after, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel had agreed to the truce, stating his country had achieved its military objectives in Iran.

The ceasefire declaration followed a fresh escalation Tuesday morning, with Iran launching multiple waves of missiles at Israel and Israel responding with further strikes on Iranian targets.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: Iran’s government announced on Tuesday that it had "taken the necessary measures" to ensure its nuclear programme continues, following US and Israeli strikes on key nuclear sites.

Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, stated on state television, "We have taken the necessary measures and are taking stock of the damage" caused by the attacks.

He added, "Plans for restarting (the facilities) have been prepared in advance, and our strategy is to ensure that production and services are not disrupted."

The US had carried out strikes on Sunday targeting the Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz uranium enrichment facilities. Earlier, Trump hailed the strikes as a "spectacular military success," though the full extent of the damage remains unclear.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: A spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters said on Tuesday that Israel carried out strikes on Iran in three phases, continuing until 9 am local time (0530 GMT), Reuters reported quoting Iranian state media.

Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that its armed forces were ready to "decisively respond" to any renewed attacks.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: Israel announced on Tuesday that it had accepted US President Donald Trump's ceasefire declaration with Iran, stating it had fulfilled all its objectives in the 12-day conflict with its long-time rival.

Shortly after Trump declared that the ceasefire was in effect, Israel reported intercepting two missiles from Iran. Defence minister Israel Katz said the military would "respond forcefully."

Iran, however, denied firing missiles after the truce was announced and claimed it had "compelled" Israel to "unilaterally halt its aggression," though it stopped short of formally accepting the ceasefire terms.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi remarked that if Israel ceased "its illegal aggression," Iran would have "no intention" to continue the hostilities.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: Hours after Trump announced that a ‘ceasefire’ had been reached between Iran and Israel following aggressive overnight strikes, the Kremlin said that Russia had backed Iran “with its clear position” in condemning US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and stressed that Moscow aims to strengthen its ties with Tehran, according to Reuters.

Responding to criticism from some commentators who claimed Russia had not sufficiently supported Iran – despite their strategic partnership – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "many people are trying to spoil relations between Moscow and Tehran by adding fuel to the fire."

He also highlighted that Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi, who met with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, had expressed appreciation for Russia’s role, noting that Araqchi "highly valued Russia's role."

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: The United Nations Human Rights Office said that Iran’s Evin prison should not have been targeted, stressing that the strike on the facility constitutes a “grave breach of international humanitarian law.” 

The office added that such actions violate the principles of distinction and proportionality under international law, as Evin prison houses civilians, including political prisoners, and is not a legitimate military target.

Israel Iran war LIVE updates: IndiGo Airlines issued a travel advisory on Tuesday stating that its flight operations to and from Gulf nations had stabilised and were running on schedule.

In an update posted on X, the airline said, “The flight operations into, out of, and through the Gulf countries have stabilised and are operating as scheduled.”

However, IndiGo cautioned that some international flights could still face delays or rerouting due to ongoing airspace restrictions over Iran. The airline added, “However, as airspace over Iran remains restricted, some flights may take alternate routes, which could result in longer travel times.”

Passengers have been advised to regularly check their flight status for any last-minute updates or disruptions.

Despite both nations agreeing to a ceasefire to end the 12-day conflict, the fragile truce appeared to break down on Tuesday. Israel accused Iran of firing missiles into its airspace more than two hours after the ceasefire began and pledged to retaliate.

Northern Israel was rocked by explosions and air raid sirens on Tuesday morning, even after both countries had agreed to the ceasefire deal.

Calling the missile strike a violation of the ceasefire, Israeli defence minister Israel Katz ordered the military to resume operations, instructing them to carry out “the intense operations to attack Tehran and to destroy targets of the regime and terror infrastructure.”

The fragile truce was announced early Tuesday after Iran carried out a limited missile strike on a US military base in Qatar on Monday in retaliation.

In the hours between Trump’s statement and the ceasefire taking effect, Israel launched a series of airstrikes across Iran before dawn, prompting Iran to respond with a missile barrage that killed at least four people in Israel early Tuesday.

Israel later claimed to have intercepted another wave of missiles that were fired just hours after the ceasefire began.

"In light of the absolute violation of the ceasefire declared by the US President by Iran and the launching of missiles toward Israel, and in accordance with the Israeli government's policy to respond forcefully to any violation - I instructed the IDF, in coordination with the Prime Minister, to continue the intense strike activity in Tehran to neutralize regime targets and terrorist infrastructure in Tehran, following yesterday's operation," ynet news quoted Katz as saying.
