Trump says Iran and Israel agree to complete ceasefire
Israel and Iran have agreed to a complete ceasefire. US President Donald Trump announced this on June 23 on the Truth Social social network.

Iran and Israel have agreed to a full and complete ceasefire in about six hours, after the current missions are completed, Trump said. Iran will cease fire first, followed by Israel 12 hours later, Trump said. After a 24-hour period of complete ceasefire by both sides, the world will see a complete end to the 12-day war, Trump assured.

“I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, for having the fortitude, courage and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war,” the head of the White House noted.

Trump added that the conflict could have dragged on for years and “destroyed the entire Middle East.”

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that Israel plans to end the operation against Iran soon, which it has notified the United States about. Israeli officials and analysts note that despite the suddenness of the first strikes on Iran, Tel Aviv is unable to control the end of military actions. If Iran continues its attacks, Israel risks being drawn into a war of attrition.

From the Times of Israel liveblog at 1:30 a.m.EDT:
IDF says larger attack on Israel this morning foiled by strikes on several Iranian ballistic missile launchers
[IsraelTimes] In the past few hours, the Israeli Air Force struck several Iranian ballistic missile launchers in western Iran, which were primed for this morning’s salvos on Israel, the IDF says.

The airstrikes foiled a larger attack on Israel, according to the military. It is unclear if the strikes were launched before the Iranian missile salvos or during them.

The military issues footage of the strikes.

Despite the action, at least four people were killed when a ballistic missile hit an apartment block in Beersheba.

After deadly missile barrages, Iranian television says ceasefire in effect; no comment from Israel
[IsraelTimes] Iranian television says that a ceasefire has begun, soon after firing a number of missile barrages at Israel.

Iran’s Press TV says that a ceasefire came into effect with the conclusion of the multiple missile barrages fired at Israel.

Most of the missiles were intercepted, but one struck an apartment building in Beersheba, killing at least four people and wounding several others.

There is no comment from the Prime Minister’s Office.

#4 See update, above. At the moment both sides seem to be done, but we’ll see.

Israel knows what to do about hudnas, and this will give the crews a chance to detail the F-35s before the next round.

#5 Iran launched a ballistic missile at Israel, violating the ceasefire between the two countries just hours after it began.

...Minister of Defense Israel Katz condemned the violation of the ceasefire and stated: "In light of Iran's blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States, and the launch of missiles toward Israel—and in accordance with the Israeli government's policy to respond forcefully to any violation—I have instructed the IDF, in coordination with the Prime Minister, to continue the intensified strike operations in Tehran, targeting regime assets and terrorist infrastructure in the city. This follows the actions carried out yesterday."

#7 Don't discount renegades given that the chain of command has been seriously compromised. Much like the Japanese who attempted to stage a coup in the last days to prevent their surrender.
