If you’re just joining us
- US President Donald Trump says Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total” ceasefire that will bring an end to what he called “the 12-day war”.
- Neither Israel nor Iran has confirmed that they have agreed to such a ceasefire.
- Israel continues to attack Iran, with blasts heard in Tehran, and Iranian officials issuing an evacuation warning for residents of the Ramat Gan area near Tel Aviv.
- Trump’s announcement comes after Iran launched a missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which houses US troops, in retaliation for the US strikes that targeted nuclear facilities in Iran on Sunday.
- Qatar has condemned the attack as a violation of its sovereignty and said it reserves the right to respond. It says its air defences intercepted 18 of the 19 missiles fired and that the incident did not cause any deaths or injuries.
- Israeli forces also continue attacking Gaza, killing at least 43 people in the Strip, including 13 aid seekers.
Damage assessment: President Donald Trump claimed US bombers ‘obliterated’ three Iranian nuclear sites, and alluded to the possibility of regime change in Iran. Military officials in Israel and the US, however, are still assessing how significant of a blow it dealt to Tehran’s program.
Iran’s response: Tehran denounced the US and Israel at an emergency UN Security Council meeting. Its foreign minister said on Sunday his country has “a variety of options” for responding to the unprecedented US attacks. There has been no word yet from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
Iran-Israel conflict enters its 11th day: Both countries have continued to trade strikes. Early Monday, Iranian state-affiliated media reported Israel struck a large military complex in Iran. In Jerusalem, a CNN team was forced to evacuate to a bomb shelter during a missile warning.
Future US involvement: Top Trump administration officials insist the US is not at war with Iran, but Trump has warned the US could launch more attacks if Tehran does not make peace.
BBC:
- Iran has launched missiles at a US airbase in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear sites on Saturday
- Donald Trump said there were no US or Qatari casualties, called the Iranian response "very weak" and thanked Iran for "early notice" of it
- Qatar said all the missiles aimed at the US-run Al Udeid base were intercepted and labelled the attack a "flagrant violation"
- Iran's response comes two days after the US launched massive strikes against three nuclear facilities inside Iran
- This was clearly a calculated and choreographed response by Iran and the ball is now in President Trump's court, Frank Gardner writes
- Meanwhile, Israel says it's been targeting Tehran with "unprecedented force", including attacks on "access routes" to the Fordo nuclear site and Evin prison.
