Al Jazeera:
- The ceasefire between Israel and Iran, announced by US President Donald Trump, appears to be holding, despite an Iranian missile attack and an Israeli assault on Tehran after the truce came into effect.
- White House refutes intelligence reports that say US bombings of Iran’s nuclear sites did not completely destroy the facilities and only set the programme back by a few months.
- Both Israel and Iran have claimed victory in the 12-day war, with Iranians holding celebrations in Tehran and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming a triumph that will stand for generations.
- Earlier, Trump publicly scolded both Israel and Iran for truce violations using a televised expletive, and ordered Israel to end its bombing operations and bring its fighter jets home.
- Iran says at least 610 people, including 13 children, have been killed and at least 3,056 others wounded since Israel launched its attack on June 13. In Israel, at least 28 people have been killed in Iranian strikes.
CNN:
Trump weighs in: President Donald Trump flashed intense anger today as the ceasefire he brokered between Israel and Iran appeared to grow more fragile. The president conveyed he was unhappy in particular with Israel, who he said quickly violated the truce. Trump held a “firm and direct” call with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu this morning, according to a White House source.
Ceasefire violations alleged: Israel struck a radar site north of Tehran hours after the ceasefire was due to take effect, following accusations that Iran had fired several missiles at Israel. According to the prime minister’s office, Israel refrained from conducting further strikes after Netanyahu spoke to Trump.
CNN poll on strikes: Meanwhile, the US president’s decision to launch airstrikes against Iran during the weekend is broadly unpopular with Americans, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS after the strikes.
BBC:
- A ceasefire appears to have taken hold between Israel and Iran, with both nations acknowledging that it is in place
- It follows an angry intervention by US President Donald Trump who earlier accused both sides of violating the truce
- Israel's PM hails a "historic victory" for his country in an address to his nation, while Iran's president says his people had determined the end of the "12-day-war"
- The terms of the ceasefire seem to be little more than both sides halting their strikes, writes our diplomatic correspondent James Landale
- Trump is attending the Nato summit in the Netherlands, where the focus is on defence spending
- Ahead of his arrival, the president shared a message from Nato chief Mark Rutte which congratulated him for taking "decisive action" in Iran
