Israel-Iran War News Live: In an attempt to de-escalate the conflict, both Tehran and Tel Aviv agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States. Despite the deal, Israel on Tuesday claimed an Iranian airstrike continued as it detected the launch of more ballistic missiles from Iran.

The Israel-Iran conflict entered Day 12 today. In the early hours of Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel stopped its airstrikes by 4am local time. Araghchi’s statement was being viewed as the first official remark by Iran to President Donald Trump’s claimed ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

Further, the Iraqi military claimed one of its military bases was struck by a drone today.

Tensions flared up in West Asia after Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, triggering destruction and casualties in both nations.

Reacting to the US’s ‘Midnight Hammer’ operation against it, Iran said it will remain firm in developing its nuclear sector.
