Deadline Trump Announced for Iran to Begin Ceasing Fire against Israel Passes
At least one person is believed trapped in the rubble and a residential building in Israel's south sustained heavy damage, according to emergency services.
Waves of missiles sent Israelis to bomb shelters for almost two hours in the morning.
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.
Israel so far has not acknowledged the Trump ceasefire announcement. Iran's foreign minister said that as long as Israel stopped its attacks by 4 a.m. local Tehran time Tuesday, Iran would halt its own. But nearly an hour after that deadline, Israel's military warned its public that Iran had launched missiles towards it as sirens sounded.
At least one missile interception could be seen over the skies of Jerusalem and warnings of three further attacks followed as day broke. It's unclear what the detected missile launches would do for the ceasefire's timeline. Trump's announcement on Truth Social said the ceasefire wouldn't begin until about midnight Tuesday Eastern time. He said it would bring an 'Official END' to the war.

Because the enemy continues to creep in.'Trump said his talks with Putin would be 'a feel-out meeting' and that he would tell the Russian leader to 'end this war.' But he also hinted that he may walk away and let the two sides continue Ukrainian troops training in the Kharkiv region also welcomed a ceasefire, but said the Kremlin would need to be forced into making peace.'Until Russia suffers losses big enough to give up the idea of military pressure on us, (fighting) will continue,' said an instructor from the 43rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, whose call sign is Snail.'We will not be able to stop this otherwise.'

Trump threatens Powell with 'major lawsuit', demands rate cut
US President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to allow a 'major lawsuit' against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to proceed, calling for immediate interest rate cut. The president said on his 'Truth Social' platform that the lawsuit would relate to Powell's management of major renovations at the Fed's headquarters in Washington, D.C. 'The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we've blown through Powell and the complacent Board,' Trump claimed. 'I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings.' 'Three Billion Dollars for a job that should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up. Not good!' he wrote.
