US President Donald Trump announced on Monday a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran, ending the 12-day war that saw millions of people fleeing Tehran and sparked fears of a new escalation in the war torn by the war.
But there was no confirmation of Israel and the Israeli army said that it had detected missiles launched from Iran to Israel in the early hours of Tuesday.
“Defensive systems operate to intercept the threat,” the Israeli defense forces said in a statement.
Israel, joined by the United States this weekend, conducted attacks on Iranian nuclear installations, after Tehran approached a nuclear weapon.
“Assuming that everything works as it should be, what will do, I would like to congratulate the two countries, Israel and Iran, to have endurance, courage and intelligence to end, which should be called,” the 12 -day war “,” wrote Trump on his social site of truth.
While an Iranian official confirmed earlier that Tehran had accepted a ceasefire, the country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs said there would be no cessation of hostilities unless Israel stops his attacks.
Abbas Araqchi said early Tuesday that if Israel had arrested his “illegal assault” against the Iranian people at the latest at 4 am. Téhran Time (0030 GMT) Tuesday, Iran did not intend to continue its response later.
There has been no Israeli attacks reported against Iran since then.
“The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be taken later,” added Araqchi in a post on X.
A senior White House official said Trump had negotiated the agreement during an appeal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel had agreed until Iran has launched other attacks.
Trump seemed to suggest that Israel and Iran would have time to finish all the missions in progress, how the cease-fire would start in a staged process.
Iran denies having a nuclear weapon program, but the supreme leader Ali Khamenei said that if he wanted it, the world leaders “could not stop us.”
Israel, which is not part of the international non-proliferation treaty, is the only country in the Middle East which would have nuclear weapons. Israel does not deny or confirm this.
Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman, Al Thani, obtained the Tehran agreement during an appeal with Iranian officials, a civil servant on negotiations said on Tuesday.
US vice-president JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US special envoy Steve Witkoff were in direct and indirect contact with the Iranians, said the White House manager.
Neither the Mission of the UN of Iran nor the Israeli Embassy in Washington responded to the separate requests for Reuters.
A few hours earlier, three Israeli officials had pointed out that Israel was trying to conclude his campaign in Iran soon and had transmitted the message to the United States.
Netanyahu had told the government’s ministers whose discussions ended early Tuesday not to speak publicly, television Israel Channel reported.
The markets reacted favorably to news.
Tower contracts on S&P 500 increased 0.4% late on Monday, suggesting that traders expect the US stock market to open with gains on Tuesday.
Future American ranges fell on Tuesday in the early hours of Asian negotiation at their lowest level in more than a week after Trump said that a cease-fire had been agreed, relieving the concerns of disruption of the offer in the region.
Finish the fights?
He did not seem to be calm in the region yet.
The Israeli army issued two evacuation warnings in less than two hours to residents of the Iranian capital of Tehran capital, a late on Monday and an early Tuesday.
The Israeli army radio reported early Tuesday that alarms were activated in the southern Golan Heights region due to the fears of hostile aircraft intrusion.
Earlier Monday, Trump said that he would encourage Israel to head for peace after rejecting Iran’s attack on an American air base that has caused no injury and thanking Tehran for the early strike of strikes.
He said that Iran had pulled 14 missiles at the American air base, calling it “a very low answer, to which we expected, and that we very effectively countered”.
Iran’s treatment of the attack recalled previous clashes with the United States and Israel, Tehran seeking a balance between safeguard face with a military response but without causing a climbing cycle that he cannot afford.
Tehran seems to have achieved this goal.
Iran’s attack occurred after the American bombers abandoned bunker-busely bombs of 30,000 pounds on Iranian underground nuclear installations this weekend, joining the Israeli air war.
A large part of the population of Tehran of 10 million people fled after days of bombing.
The Trump administration maintains that its objective was only to destroy the Iranian nuclear program, not to open a wider war.
“Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon,” said vice-president JD Vance in an interview on the “special Fox News report with Bret Baier”.
“Now Iran is unable to build a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we have destroyed it,” said Vance.
Trump cited intelligence reports that Iran was close to building a nuclear weaopon, without developing. However, American intelligence agencies said earlier this year that they have evaluated that Iran did not build a nuclear weapon and that a source of access to American intelligence reports told Reuters last week that this assessment had not changed.
But in an article on social networks on Sunday, Trump spoke of overthrowing hard office leaders who have been the main enemies of Washington in the Middle East since the Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Israel, however, had clearly indicated that its strikes on Evin prison – a notorious prison for the housing of political prisoners – and other targets in Tehran were intended to reach the Iranian leader apparatus largely and its ability to support power.
