Get caught up.
“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT,” Donald Trump said at around 9:10 a.m. Dubai time on Truth Social. “PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”
But just how lasting any sort of truce can be was called into question almost immediately. Israel has since accused Iran of breaching the ceasefire — which the Islamic Republic denied — and its defense minister instructed the military to “respond forcefully.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel had agreed to a truce, but Iran has yet to confirm publicly of its agreement.
