Trump: CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT, PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!
'THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!' Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.
According to Trump, the agreement involves a phased implementation process stretching over 24 hours. Iran was to initiate the first step by suspending its operations starting at approximately 7:00 AM (GMT+3) on Tuesday. Twelve hours later, Israel was expected to reciprocate by halting its military actions.
A senior Iranian official confirmed to Reuters that Iran agreed to a US-proposed ceasefire deal with 'Israel', which is Qatari-mediated and was announced by Donald Trump earlier.
The report by Reuters adds that Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed Al Thani managed to secure Iran's agreement to the ceasefire proposal during a call with Iranian officials, which took place hours after Iran's attack on the Qatari-hosted American Al Udeid Base.
The call came after Trump told Qatar's emir that 'Israel' agreed to the ceasefire, and asked for his help in persuading Iran to agree.

Iraq temporarily halts flights to Iran
Baghdad International Airport temporarily suspended flights to Iran early Thursday following Iran's announcement of military exercises, sources told Al Jazeera. The precautionary move was aimed at ensuring passenger safety. According to Iraqi media, the suspension came after precision ballistic missiles were launched over Iran's Khuzestan province during the drills, which were intended to boost military readiness. An Iraqi flight bound for Tehran was prevented from taking off, with passengers disembarked, sources said. At present, no flights are operating from Baghdad to Iran. Iranian media reports indicate that the missile exercises over Khuzestan were designed to enhance defensive preparedness.

US government signals all 55 million visas can face revocation
The State Department announced Thursday that all 55 million foreign nationals holding US visas are potentially subject to ongoing review, as the Trump administration intensifies its immigration crackdown. "The Department's continuous vetting includes all of the more than 55 million foreigners who currently hold valid US visas," a State Department official said. "The State Department revokes visas any time there are indications of a potential ineligibility, which includes things like any indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity or providing support to a terrorist organization." While not all 55 million visas are actively under review at every moment, the administration has made clear that each visa holder could face scrutiny. Students are a particular focus, with officials monitoring social media activity that visa applicants must now disclose. "We're reviewing all student visas," the anonymous official said, emphasizing that the department is "constantly monitoring what people have said" online. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also drawn attention by targeting anti-'Israel' activists under a rarely used law that allows visa revocations for individuals seen as acting against US foreign policy interests. Since Rubio assumed office in January under Trump, the State Department has revoked 6,000 visas, four times the number of student visas rescinded in the same period under former President Joe Biden. Rubio maintains that the administration can issue and revoke visas without judicial oversight, asserting that non-US citizens do not have constitutional free speech protections. However, courts have recently blocked two high-profile revocations. Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent US resident who organized pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, was released in June by a judge. Similarly, Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University who criticized 'Israel' in a campus publication, was freed by a judge in May pending further proceedings.

'Israeli' data admits 83% of Gaza casualties are civilians, contradicting previous claims
A joint investigation by +972 Magazine, its Hebrew-language partner Local Call, and the Guardian has found that Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) intelligence data indicates most Palestinians killed by 'Israel' are civilians. According to the report, five out of every six Palestinians killed in the genocide are not resistance fighters. The investigation drew on a classified IOF intelligence database that, as of May 2025, listed 8,900 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fighters as dead or 'probably dead.' At that time, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that around 53,000 Palestinians had been killed by IOF. This suggests that only 17 percent of the total fatalities were fighters, while the remaining 83 percent were civilians. When approached by +972 Magazine and Local Call, the IOF did not dispute the database's existence or the number of Hamas and PIJ deaths. However, when questioned later by the Guardian, a spokesperson stated that 'figures presented in the article are incorrect' and 'do not reflect the data available' in the military's systems, without clarifying which details were disputed. The military did not explain why its responses differed between publications. The dataset named 47,653 Palestinians considered by 'Israeli' intelligence to be active members of Hamas or PIJ. This included 34,973 Hamas operatives and 12,702 PIJ operatives, based on internal documents allegedly seized from the groups in Gaza. Of the 8,900 killed, 7,330 were considered certain, while 1,570 were 'probably dead.' Most were junior figures, with only 100–300 senior operatives reported killed out of 750 listed in the database. The investigation notes that the civilian death toll may be even higher than reported. The Gaza Health Ministry's numbers likely underestimate deaths, as they do not account for thousands buried under rubble. In addition, 'Israeli' intelligence may have counted civilians with alleged ties to Hamas as fighters, including police officers or administrative staff, who are considered non-combatants under international law. 'People are promoted to the rank of terrorist after their death,' said one intelligence source who accompanied the IOF on the ground. 'If I had listened to the brigade, I would have come to the conclusion that we had killed 200 percent of Hamas operatives in the area.' The ratio of civilian deaths is also likely to have increased since May, as nearly 2,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed while waiting for aid from the 'Israel'- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The 83 percent civilian casualty rate is extraordinarily high for modern warfare. According to the Guardian, only a few conflicts in recent decades, such as the Srebrenica genocide, the Rwandan genocide, and the Russian siege of Mariupol, have seen higher proportions of civilian deaths.
