[RECAP] US-proposed Israel-Iran came into effect at 05:00 BST
Iran's attack on US base in Qatar
- Iran responded to the US attacks over the weekend with an attack aimed at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, although many of its US personnel had been evacuated for a while.
- NYT reported that Iran coordinated the attacks with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimise casualties, and Axios’ Ravid noted the Trump admin was aware in advance.

US President Trump said on Truth Social that Iran had responded to the US strike on its nuclear facilities with a very weak response, which the US had expected and effectively countered. He claimed that 14 missiles were fired, of which 13 were intercepted and one was allowed through as it posed no threat. Trump stated that no Americans were harmed and there was minimal damage. He added, “Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region,” and said he would encourage Israel to do the same. -
Iran's Foreign Minister said Tehran’s attack on a US air base in Qatar was in response to US aggression against Iran’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, adding that Iran would be ready to respond again if the US took further action, according to Reuters. -
US President Trump posted "CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!" -
Saudi Arabia stated that Iranian aggression against Qatar was unacceptable, could not be justified, and constituted a flagrant violation of international law, according to Al Arabiya. -

Israeli PM Netanyahu announced an agreement with Iran, noting that a comprehensive ceasefire agreement had been reached, according to Al Arabiya. - Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said there was no "agreement" on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations between Israel and Iran. He stated that Iran had consistently made clear it was Israel that launched the war, not Iran. However, if Israel halted its "illegal aggression" against the Iranian people by 4 a.m. Tehran time, Iran had no intention to continue its response. He added that the final decision on halting Iran's military operations would be made later.
-
Israel attacked a “substantial percentage” of the targets approved as part of Operation Am Kalvi, according to i24 journalist Stein. An Israeli source told him: “We will complete the attacks on all the approved targets within a few days.” The source warned: “If we need to, we have a very large pool of targets. There are still many places to attack in Iran.” -
Iranian officials made clear to the Trump administration that they would come back to the negotiating table and discuss their nuclear program on the condition that Israel stops bombing them, according to a senior US official via NYT. - Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei posted on X that “the Iranian nation isn’t a nation that surrenders.”
-
US President Trump posted that Israel and Iran came to him “almost simultaneously” and said “PEACE!”, declaring that he knew the time was now. He said the world and the Middle East were the real winners. Trump added that both nations had much to gain and much to lose if they strayed from the road of righteousness and truth. He said the future for Israel and Iran was unlimited and filled with great promise.
