June 24, 2025: The Israeli PM thanked Trump and the United States "for their support in defence and their participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat."
The 12-day period of hostilities has come to an end, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that Israel has accepted the ceasefire agreement with Iran. As per a Times of Israel report, the Prime Minister's office has released a statement in which it said Israel has achieved its goals against Iran.
"Israel has removed a dual immediate existential threat – both in the nuclear and ballistic missile fields,” the statement reads.
Netanyahu's statement added that the IDF “achieved full air control over Tehran’s skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets.”
The Israeli prime minister further thanked US president Donald Trump and the United States "for their support in defence and their participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat."
Iranian missile attack kills 4 in Israel
Before implementing the ceasefire, Iran launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel. One of the missiles made impact at a residential building in Beersheba, killing four people.
The missile attack triggered confusion regarding the stance of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. However, Iranian state media said the missiles were launched before Tehran implemented the ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump also took to Truth Social to declare that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was in effect. Additionally, the president of the United States urged both nations not to break the truce. The ceasefire between Iran and Israel was followed by Iran's attack on US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Iran's attack came as a response to the American strikes on its three key nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow.
The 12-day war between Iran and Israel began after Israel launched a military strike “Operation Rising Lion” to target Iranian military bases and nuclear sites. Since then, both nations have exchanged regular fire and missile attacks killing around 400 in Iran and around 24 in Israel.
However, after the United States entered the war and struck three Iranian nuclear sites, tensions rose. Iran first denies Trump's ceasefire claim, then a U-turn
Taking to X, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated that there is "no agreement as of now."
As US President Donald Trump claims a ceasefire has been achieved between Iran and Israel on Monday, Tehran has denied the claim. Iran has stated it did not receive any ceasefire proposal from the US which calls for a truce. Israel, on the other hand, has not commented on the implementation of the ceasefire claim. Taking to X, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated that there is "no agreement as of now."

"As of now, there is NO "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. Later, he wrote, "the final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made."
