That’s all from the blog for today. Thank you for reading. We will have more for you soon in another coverage of live news, so please join us then.

Here is a wrap up of what’s happened today:

Israel and Iran appeared to be honouring a ceasefire agreement unexpectedly announced by US President Donald Trump overnight, after the American leader reacted angrily to early breaches of the deal by both sides.

“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,” Trump told reporters.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to hold off on further strikes after a conversation with Trump on Tuesday, according to a statement from his office. Israel had destroyed a radar complex near Tehran after the truce came into effect as of 7am local time, the PM’s office said, but this was in response to three missiles from Iran.

“DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!,” Trump had written on his Truth Social platform earlier, directing his ire toward Israel in particular.

Trump’s frustration at the rocky start to his ceasefire was evident when he stopped to take questions from reporters outside the White House before heading to a NATO summit in The Hague.

Those comments, alongside the posts on Truth Social, highlight the fragility of the truce between Israel and Iran, arch-enemies for decades and which have been at war since Israel kicked off an exchange of drone and missile fire on June 13.

Trump announced the ceasefire late Monday, less than 48 hours after the US entered the conflict directly with attacks on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities. That followed a well-telegraphed attack by Iran on a US air base in Qatar that was widely viewed as de-escalatory.

But both sides struck each other with missiles within hours of the announcement.

Trump told the reporters he believed the truce would hold, even if it was being tested.

“I think they both violated it,” Trump said. But when asked if the ceasefire was breaking, Trump responded “I don’t think so.”

Trump had cast the ceasefire as an end to the 12-day war that saw Israel, later joined by the US, launch attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and draw retaliatory strikes from Tehran. The military action came after five rounds of talks between the US and Iran about a diplomatic solution to international concerns over Iran’s nuclear program.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which answers to Iran’s supreme leader, said it fired 14 missiles at Israel in the “last minutes before the ceasefire came into effect.” The IRGC said it was a response to an Israeli strike that killed a number of military personnel.

Since the war started on June 13, 606 people have been killed in Iran, according to the government. In Israel, emergency services have said 28 people have been killed by Iranian missile strikes, including four on Tuesday morning.
