Trump announces Israel and Iran ceasefire as four killed in Israel
Tuesday morning began with much confusion around the precise timing a ceasefire deal announced by US President Donald Trump would come into effect.
Iranian state television reported Tuesday that a ceasefire had begun in its war with Israel, even as Israel warned the public of a new missile barrage launched from Iran.
The launches came after 4 am local time in Tehran, the time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their airstrikes.
In Israel, waves of missiles killed at least four Israelis in the soutern city of Beersheba. t
Trump's announcement that Israel and Iran had agreed to a 'complete and total ceasefire' came soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.
The ceasefire was reportedly brokered between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump congratulates himself on Israel-Iran ceasefire that remains highly uncertain
Not having to follow the rules of consistency offers a lot of flexibility. The message posted by Donald Trump on Monday, June 23, on his Truth Social platform broke all the rules. Shortly after 6 pm, the US president announced, by himself, the conclusion of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. It was the middle of the night in the Middle East. Trump, meanwhile, claimed that both parties to the conflict – and it is legitimate to include the United States – would gradually cease hostilities after final exchanges. "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!" he exclaimed, as if this were a children's sporting contest where the effort was more important than the result. Meanwhile, massive explosions were heard in Tehran, before Iranian missiles were launched toward Israel, killing at least four people in Beersheba, in the south of the country. But by Tuesday morning, Iran and Israel had both accepted the cease-fire. Exactly 48 hours after the announcement of US bombings on three Iranian nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo), Trump outlined the choreography of peace, negotiated via Qatar. Iran would first take the off-ramp, and after 12 hours of ceasefire, Israel would join in, bringing "an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR," as Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, trying to give the war a name for posterity.

Gaza's civil defense says 21 Palestinians 'waiting for aid' killed by Israeli forces
Gaza's civil defense agency said Israeli forces killed 21 people waiting for aid near a distribution site in the center of the Palestinian territory on Tuesday, June 24, the latest deadly incident targeting aid-seekers. Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that 21 people were killed and around 150 wounded "as a result of the Israeli occupation forces' targeting of gatherings of citizens waiting for aid... in the central Gaza Strip with bullets and tank shells" in the early hours of Tuesday. Israeli restrictions on media in the Gaza Strip and difficulties in accessing some areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by rescuers and authorities in the Palestinian territory. Bassal added that five people were killed and several injured in an Israeli air strike that targeted a house in Gaza City at dawn. Thousands of Palestinians have gathered daily in the hope of receiving food rations in Gaza, as famine looms across the territory after more than 20 months of war. According to figures issued on Saturday by the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, at least 450 people have been killed and nearly 3,500 injured by Israeli fire while seeking aid since late May. Many of those have been near sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to rescuers. The privately run foundation's operations in Gaza have been marred by chaotic scenes. UN agencies and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with it over concerns it was designed to cater to Israeli military objectives. Israel's opposition leader on Tuesday called for an end to the war in Gaza, after Israel announced it had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. "And now Gaza. It's time to finish it there too. Bring back the hostages, end the war," Yair Lapid wrote on X.
