Israel-Iran ceasefire apparently holding as both sides claim victory
The ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding, with no reports of major attacks or damage so far. US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire. He wrote on his social media platform that "an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World" on Wednesday. After the announcement, Israel attacked a radar site near the Iranian capital, Tehran. Israeli officials say the move was in response to missile launches from Iran. But Trump urged Israel to refrain from further attacks. No major attacks or damage have been reported since then. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz took to social media on Tuesday. He wrote that he emphasized to his US counterpart, Pete Hegseth, that "Israel will respect the ceasefire -- as long as the other side does." Both Israel and Iran have claimed a victory. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has achieved a "historic victory." Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said all the glory of this historic victory belongs to the great and civilization-building nation of Iran. Attention is focused on whether the ceasefire will hold.
