Israeli Army Radio revealed that the Air Forces in Israel attacked a radar near Tehran. Moreover, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority said that after Trump's conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a symbolic target in Iran was attacked.
A ceasefire between Iran and Israel is now "in effect", Trump said Tuesday, moments after he accused both countries of violating the truce.

Earlier, the president told reporters at the White House that he was "really unhappy" with Israel for breaking the deal.

'Raised his voice': Report reveals tense call between Trump, Netanyahu
Trump raised his voice at Netanyahu, as 'Israeli' fighter jets entered Iranian airspace Tuesday morning to strike targets in response to the Iranian missiles that some claim were fired after the fragile ceasefire took place, a report by The Jerusalem Post said citing a source familiar with the details. 'Stop the attack!' Trump told Netanyahu during the call, raising his voice. The report said that Netanyahu was not able to speak much during the tense call, despite repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Trump. 'It was a tough conversation between Netanyahu and President Trump. Trump viewed this as a personal achievement, and made it clear that no one – absolutely no one – would undermine it,' the source told The Jerusalem Post. 'Israeli' fighter jets then received orders to stop the raids, and instead hit a radar station near Tehran. The United States also sent a tense warning to Iran via the Qataris, urging them to stop the fire. 'No nonsense, no further attacks,' the senior US official said to the Qataris to relay the message through to the Iranians.

Iran willing to return to nuclear talks with US: president
Iran said on Tuesday that it was ready to return to negotiations with the United States, as a fragile ceasefire in its war with 'Israel' took hold after 12 days of strikes that pummelled the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities. But even as he appeared to express willingness to revisit nuclear talks derailed by 'Israel's' surprise attack, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country would continue to "assert its legitimate rights" to the peaceful use of atomic power. The United States on Sunday had joined 'Israel's' campaign with strikes on key nuclear sites. After Iran retaliated with a missile attack Monday night targeting a US base in Qatar, President Donald Trump called for de-escalation, announcing the contours of a truce deal hours later. In a phone call Tuesday, Pezeshkian told his Emirati counterpart "to explain to them, in your dealings with the United States, that the Islamic Republic of Iran is only seeking to assert its legitimate rights". "It has never sought to acquire nuclear weapons and does not seek them," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency, adding that Iran was "ready to resolve the issues... at the negotiating table". 'Israel' has said its war, which began on June 13, was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, an ambition Tehran has long denied holding. After Trump angrily berated both sides for early violations of the truce on Tuesday, Tehran announced it would respect the terms of the deal if Israel did the same, while Israel said it had refrained from further strikes. Claims of victory Both 'Israel' and Iran appeared to claim victory following the announcement of the truce. The 'Israeli' government said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had convened his cabinet "to announce that Israel had achieved all the objectives of Operation Rising Lion and much more". It added that it had removed the "dual existential threat" of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, while vowing to respond forcefully to any violations of the ceasefire. Iran's top security body, meanwhile, said the Islamic republic's forces had "compelled" Israel to "unilaterally" stand down. Its Revolutionary Guards also hailed a last-minute missile salvo fired at 'Israel' as "a historic and unforgettable lesson to the Zionist enemy". 'Israeli' rescuers reported four people killed when a missile struck a residential building in the southern city of Beersheba early Tuesday. In Iran, state television said an overnight 'Israeli' strike in the north killed nuclear scientist Mohammad Reza Seddighi Saber, who was under US sanctions. Strikes on US base Over the course of its campaign, 'Israeli' strikes hit nuclear and military targets -- killing scientists and army brass – as well as residential areas, prompting waves of Iranian missile attacks on 'Israel'. While Iran and 'Israel' have been locked in a shadow war for decades, it has been by far the most destructive confrontation between the arch-foes. The war saw US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites using massive bunker-busting bombs, followed by an Iranian reprisal targeting the United States' largest military facility in the Middle East. Trump shrugged off that response as "weak", thanking Tehran for giving advanced notice and announcing the outline of the ceasefire just hours later. Iran's National Security Council had said the number of missiles launched at the base "was the same as the number of bombs that the US had used" against Iran. Ali Vaez, Iran project director for the International Crisis Group, told AFP: "This was calibrated and telegraphed in a way that would not result in any American casualties, so that there is an off ramp for both sides." 'Israeli' strikes on Iran have killed at least 610 civilians and wounded more than 4,700, according to the health ministry. Iran's attacks on 'Israel' have killed 28 people, according to official figures and rescuers. The international community reacted with cautious optimism to news of the truce. Saudi Arabia and the European Union welcomed Trump's announcement, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia hoped "that this will be a sustainable ceasefire".
