🔹 A Qatar-mediated, U.S.-proposed ceasefire between Israel and Iran was officially acknowledged by multiple sources overnight — but conflicting reports and continued military actions have cast immediate doubt on its validity.
🔹 Reuters confirmed that Iran approved the ceasefire through Qatar’s Prime Minister, and President Trump declared the war “over,” calling it a “wonderful day for the world.”
🔹 According to Axios, Iran conveyed to the White House that it had completed its retaliation after striking Al Udeid and would not launch further attacks. The U.S. responded by halting military escalation and showing willingness to resume nuclear talks.
🔹 However, shortly after the Iranian ceasefire window began, the IDF reported a sixth missile launch from Iran, triggering air raid sirens in central Israel, and drone interceptions were confirmed.
🔹 Adding further confusion, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi denied any formal ceasefire agreement was finalized, saying:
• “There is no agreement on any ceasefire… The final decision will be made later.”
• He acknowledged military operations continued until 4:00 AM Tehran time, praising Iranian armed forces for fighting to the last minute.
🔹 Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes reportedly resumed, with dozens of targets hit in Tehran and Karaj, as reported by Israeli and Iranian media outlets.
🔹 Iran issued a warning via France 24, stating it would consider the ceasefire void if Israeli strikes continued after 3:30 AM Tel Aviv time.
🔹 Trump, in multiple interviews, claimed:
• “This is the end of the war. It will go on forever.”
• He praised both nations for their stamina and courage in what he called “The 12 Day War.”
🔹 Despite formal diplomatic efforts, the reality on the ground suggests the ceasefire was either never agreed upon fully or quickly broken, highlighting the fragile and volatile state of the conflict.
