Uneasy truce back on after Trump lashes Iran and Israel
Israel and Iran appeared to be honouring a ceasefire agreement unexpectedly announced by US President Donald Trump overnight, after the American leader reacted angrily to early breaches of the deal by both sides.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to hold off on further strikes after a conversation with Trump on Tuesday, according to a statement from his office. Israel had destroyed a radar complex near Tehran after the truce came into effect as of 7am local time, the PM's office said, but this was in response to three missiles from Iran.

Trump meet ‘not specifically on the agenda' at NATO summit, Deputy PM says
When Australia's top leadership will meet Donald Trump in the flesh remains unknown, after Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles admitted a face-to-face with the US President is not scheduled at this week's NATO Summit. Mr Marles is in the Netherlands for the summit representing Australia as one of the Indo Pacific Four (IP4) – non-NATO countries that work closely with the military alliance in the region. Nikkei has reported Mr Trump was seeking to meet with IP4 representatives amid growing concerns of a Chinese threat, described by his administration as potentially 'imminent'. Mr Marles, who is also defence minister, said overnight a meeting was 'not specifically on the agenda', hastily adding that he 'wouldn't want to overstate any of that'. 'I think we are in large rooms with lots of people, and these meetings, gatherings like this, end up being pretty fluid in terms of the bilaterals that you end up organising,' he told reporters from The Hague. 'But look, it is a really significant gathering for us to attend, and the importance of the NATO Summit has grown in terms of the way in which we engage with the world.' He added that how events in the Indo Pacific and in the North Atlantic 'are influencing each other is growing'. 'What's happening here in Europe, what's happening, specifically in the war in Ukraine is engaging Australia's national interests, and it's a really important gathering for us to attend,' Mr Marles said.

‘Ridiculous': Donald Trump rages over earlier Israel-Iran ceasefire breach
US President Donald Trump has accused Iran and Israel of breaching a ceasefire he helped broker. After nearly two weeks of fighting, the United States President announced a ceasefire on his social media platform Truth Social, but both Israel and Iran continued to strike the other country, invoking the ire of President Trump. 'These guys got to calm down. It's ridiculous,' President Trump said. 'We basically have two countries that have been fighting for so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing. Do you understand that?'
