Israel Iran War: US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, claiming both sides agreed to end hostilities. However, Iranian missile barrages continued even after the deadline, casting doubt on the ceasefire's credibility. While Trump’s post calmed some global tension, the Middle East remains unstable.

Amid the ongoing Iran and Israel tensions in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning announced a ceasefire between the two nations. Iranian state television reported on Tuesday that a ceasefire had begun in its war with Israel, even as Israel warned the public of a new missile barrage launched from Iran.
It wasn't immediately possible to reconcile the messages from Iran and Israel on the 12th day of the war between Iran and Israel. Iranian state television announced the ceasefire in a graphic on screen, not immediately acknowledging the new missile barrage coming after the deadline set by President Donald Trump in his earlier ceasefire announcement. Moreover, a series of Iranian barrages before the ceasefire deadline killed three people and injured at least eight others in Israel, rescuers said.
However, the deadline announced by US President Donald Trump for Iran to begin ceasing fire in its war with Israel was reached early Tuesday after the Islamic Republic fired multiple missile barrages.
