Israel Agrees to Trump-Brokered Iran Ceasefire, Declares “Mission Accomplished”
Israel says all military objectives have been met in strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure; ceasefire terms brokered by President Trump take effect.
- Israel accepts U.S.-brokered ceasefire
- Trump announces truce
- Gaza ceasefire calls grow
Israel has officially accepted a ceasefire proposal brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming it has fulfilled all military objectives in its conflict with Iran.
The decision followed a high-level overnight security meeting attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, and Mossad Director David Barnea.
In a statement, the Israeli government said, “With all operation goals achieved and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to a mutual ceasefire.” Israeli officials assert they have neutralized Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities and now hold full aerial superiority over Tehran.
The government emphasized that it will respond aggressively to any violation of the truce.
An unnamed Israeli source noted that Israel’s agreement is contingent on all sides respecting the ceasefire terms. According to reports, Israel suffered at least 25 casualties from Iranian missile attacks, while Iranian officials report over 430 killed and thousands wounded in Israeli airstrikes.
The ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, took effect early Tuesday at 4:00 a.m. GMT following a final wave of Iranian ballistic missile strikes, some of which continued even after the truce began. One such strike killed four people in Beersheba, including a direct hit on a residential building.
President Trump confirmed the ceasefire on his Truth Social platform, urging both nations to honor the agreement: “THE CEASE-FIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”
Meanwhile, calls are intensifying within Israel for a similar ceasefire in Gaza. Opposition leader Yair Lapid and families of Israeli hostages demanded that peace efforts now shift to ending the 627-day-long war in Gaza. “If we can make peace with Iran, we can make peace in Gaza,” read a statement from the hostages’ families.
Despite the ceasefire with Iran, the Israeli military continues its Gaza operations, which began in October 2023.
The conflict has led to massive humanitarian devastation, including widespread displacement, infrastructure collapse, and famine.
Israel is facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice, and international arrest warrants have been issued for Netanyahu and former defense chief Yoav Gallant.
In the latest tragedy, Israeli forces killed at least 20 Palestinians and wounded 246 more in a strike on aid seekers near the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.
