President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran following Iran’s limited missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar in retaliation for American bombings on its nuclear sites. The ceasefire, set to start at midnight Tuesday, aims to bring an end to the conflict. Iran’s attack, which caused no casualties, signaled a willingness to de-escalate tensions. Qatar condemned the attack on the base, intercepting most missiles. Iran cited the U.S. bombings as justification for targeting the base located away from populated areas.

While Trump expressed hopes for peace, Israel continued its military operations against Iran, focusing on symbolic targets. The conflict escalated with both sides exchanging airstrikes, causing civilian casualties. The U.S. involvement raised concerns about a broader regional conflict. Iran’s response to the airstrikes targeted Israeli cities, including Haifa and Tel Aviv. Casualty figures mounted on both sides, with efforts made to de-escalate the situation.

Israeli military actions included targeting military sites around Tehran and symbolic locations like Evin prison, known for holding political activists. Iran’s state television showcased the strikes but reported no significant damage or casualties. The conflict prompted global reactions, with Russian President Putin criticizing the attacks as unprovoked aggression. As the situation unfolds, efforts are being made to explore diplomatic solutions and mitigate further escalations.
