Overview

• President Trump declared a ceasefire in a Truth Social post on June 24 after brokering terms through Qatari mediation and US airstrikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
• Iran launched multiple missile waves into southern Israel hours before its scheduled halt in hostilities, killing at least four civilians in Beersheba.
• The Israel Defense Forces retaliated with strikes on Tehran, and senior ministers ordered forceful responses to alleged ceasefire breaches.
• Trump publicly chastised both governments, warning Israel not to “drop those bombs” on Iran and lamenting that neither side seems able to rein in its military actions.
• Qatar’s prime minister and US officials helped secure the truce, but its stability now hinges on whether further exchanges can be restrained over the next 24 hours.
