On the twelfth day of conflict between Israel and Iran, Israel accepted a ceasefire proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming it had eliminated the “dual existential threat” of Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Trump announced the phased truce online, saying, “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.” Iran was to halt operations at 0400 GMT, with Israel following 12 hours later.
However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded, “as of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on ceasefire,” though he signaled restraint if Israeli attacks ceased.
Amid ongoing missile fire, Israeli authorities reported four killed in Beersheba, with 28 dead nationwide. Iranian media cited 400 deaths from Israeli strikes. Iran also targeted a U.S. base in Qatar, intercepted by Qatari forces. Trump called the strike “very weak” and thanked Iran for warning in advance, while UN chief Antonio Guterres condemned the attack.
