“I’m not happy that Israel’s going out now. There was one rocket that I guess was fired overboard [by Iran]. It was after the time limit, and it missed its target. And now Israel’s going out. These guys gotta calm down. Ridiculous…”

“I didn’t like plenty of things I saw yesterday. I didn’t like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn’t have to unload. And I didn’t like the fact that… The [Iranian] retaliation was very strong. But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot.”

“And now I hear that Israel just went out because they felt [the deal] was violated by one rocket that didn’t land anywhere. That’s not what we want, I’ll tell you. And I’m telling you, I’m not happy about that, Israel, either.”

“All I do is play both sides.”

A ceasefire between Israel and Iran is already under strain, hours after being announced by US President Donald Trump – here’s a timeline of what’s been happening

Israel’s defence minister accuses Iran of violating the truce and vows “powerful strikes” in response – Iran denies launching attacks after the ceasefire came into effect

Iran warns “any further aggression will be met with a decisive, firm, and timely response”

Overnight both sides exchanged fire, with Tehran residents telling BBC Persian they witnessed one of the “heaviest” rounds of attacks by Israel. Local officials say nine people have been killed in northern Iran

Israel’s emergency service says four people were killed in Beersheba. Rescue teams tell our correspondent a building was hit where residents had been sheltering

It comes after Iran launched missiles at a US airbase in response to strikes on its nuclear sites over the weekend – Qatar said all the missiles were intercepted

Trump announces parameters of ceasefire between Israel and Iran

President Trump on Monday announced the parameters of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that he says was “fully agreed” to and will begin to be phased in six hours from now.

Trump expressed confidence that the end of the fighting between the two countries, which he dubbed “the 12 day war” would stick. The announcement came just two days after the U.S. was pulled into the conflict, hitting three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend.

“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump posted to Truth Social at 6 p.m. EDT, adding that it would begin “in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!”

Trump indicated that Iran would stop the fighting first, followed by Israel and that all fighting would end in a matter of 24 hours.

“During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” Trump said.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.”

Trump did not outline how the ceasefire was agreed to and which other countries were involved in negotiations between Israel and Iran. Israel was continuing its strikes inside Iran on Monday.

Israel officials did not immediately respond to a request from comment from The Hill on Trump’s announcement.

An Iranian official though told CNN it did not receive a proposal about a ceasefire and will continue to fight.

“At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies,” the official said.

The president warned that the war could have escalated and had a major impact on the Middle East, but that it will end before reaching that point.

“This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” Trump said.

Trump earlier on Monday had urged “peace and harmony” between Israel and Iran in response to Iran’s attack on the Al Udeid U.S. Air Force base in Qatar, which did not cause any casualties. He urged all sides to stand down in a conflict that pulled the U.S. into attacking Iran’s three nuclear facilities.

“CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!” Trump said earlier on Truth Social post.

Trump also thanked Qatar on Monday for “seeking Peace for the Region.” Following the attack on the base, a spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Qatari air defenses “thwarted the attack and successfully intercepted the Iranian missiles.”

Palmeiras rallied from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw against Inter Miami and qualify top of Group A for the Club World Cup last 16 on Monday, a result that sent both teams through to the knockout phase.

Goals from Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez gave Miami a two-goal lead before Paulinho and Mauricio scored in the last 10 minutes to get Palmeiras back on level terms.

Both teams finished on five points with Inter Miami second on goal difference, while Al-Ahly and Porto were both eliminated after drawing 4-4.

Lionel Messi’s side will take on European champions Paris St Germain, where the Argentine spent two seasons from 2021-23, while Palmeiras face fierce rivals Botafogo in an all-Brazilian clash for a place in the quarter-finals.

All three major US stock indexes closed sharply higher. Consumer discretionary stocks led the sector gainers, with a solid boost from Tesla.

WTI crude oil collapsed more than 10% on Monday in one of its sharpest selloffs in decades, as Iran’s long-awaited retaliation against the U.S. turned out to be surprisingly restrained. After weeks of escalating fears, the muted response from Tehran has cast doubt on the likelihood of a broader conflict — helping shift market sentiment back toward monetary policy and risk assets. Traders are now re-evaluating prospects for Fed rate cuts and a Wall Street rebound, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 flashing bullish reversal signals to start the week.

US President Donald Trump says that Israel and Iran have agreed to a 12-hour ceasefire, claiming that this will be the point at which the conflict between the two countries will be considered ended.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said the ceasefire would be “complete and total”.

The Iranian foreign minister, however, denied any such deal, though he did suggest Tehran would stop its attacks if Israel did likewise.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi was speaking at a meeting of its board of governors on Monday, which was convened in response to attacks by the United States on Iranian nuclear facilities.

He presented the view, while adding that no one, including his organization, is in a position to have fully assessed the underground damage at the plant.

Grossi noted that Iran has informed the IAEA that there was no increase in off-site radiation levels at three nuclear sites struck by US forces.

Grossi stressed that what is important is the 400 kilograms of uranium that Iran enriched to 60 percent. He called for a cessation of hostilities to allow IAEA inspectors to “go back to Iranian nuclear sites and account for the stockpiles of uranium.”

Grossi also revealed that he received a letter from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on June 13, telling him that Iran will “adopt special measures to protect our nuclear equipment and materials.”

Grossi said he told Araghchi that any transfer of nuclear material from a safeguarded facility to another location in Iran must be declared to the IAEA.
