U.S. President Donald Trump claims a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was “in effect” on Tuesday, after expressing deep frustration with both sides for violating the agreement he brokered.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he held off on a tougher strike against Iran after speaking to Trump.
What to know:
- Terms of the ceasefire still unknown: While both Iran and Israel have acknowledged the shaky ceasefire, no details have emerged about the terms of the deal or what concessions either side may have made.
- Trump lashes out: After Israel claimed that Iran broke the ceasefire, which Iran denied, Trump shared choice words for the two nations with reporters at the White House: “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing.”
- Casualties: Israel’s emergency services claimed that 28 people in Israel were killed during the 12-day war. The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists said at least 974 people in Iran have been killed.
- How we got here: Israel launched a surprise barrage of attacks on sites in Iran on June 13, which officials said were necessary to head off an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs. The two nations volleyed strikes for several days. The U.S. military struck Iran’s nuclear sites June 22, dismissing assessments from Trump’s own intelligence agents that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.
