Trump says Iran and Israel will have a phased-in ceasefire over 24 hours

President Donald Trump claimed on social media Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.

The U.S. president said on Truth Social that the ceasefire would bring an “Official END” to war, a major change in the hostilities that follows a U.S. strike over the weekend on three Iranian nuclear sites.

Israel and Iran did not immediately acknowledge any ceasefire, and heavy Israeli strikes continued in Tehran and other cities early Tuesday.

Earlier Monday, Iran launched a missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of three key Iranian nuclear facilities. The U.S. said no casualties were reported.

Here is the latest:

Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran’s capital up until 4 a.m. local time

Intense Israeli airstrikes targeted Tehran and other areas up until 4 a.m. local time. Israel in other conflicts typically steps up its strikes just before ceasefires take effect.

Tehran will stop its attacks if Israel does by 4 a.m., Iran’s foreign minister says

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran will stop its attacks if Israel stops its airstrikes by 4 a.m. local time.

The comment marked the first official remarks by Iran to Trump’s claimed ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

Araghchi sent his message on the social platform X at 4:16 a.m. Tehran time.

“As of now, there is NO ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” Araghchi wrote. “However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.”

Iran warns Ramat Gan

Iran, mirroring the language and maps of the Israeli military, put out a warning telling people in Ramat Gan it would target “military infrastructure” there.

About 250 Americans have been evacuated from Israel, official says

The U.S. has evacuated some 250 American citizens and their immediate family members from Israel by government, military and charter flights that began over the weekend, a State Department official says.

Since June 21, the official says the U.S. has organized seven flights, most of which have to gone to Athens, Greece, but also to Rome, Italy, and Larnaca, Cyprus.

Other Americans, including nonessential embassy staff and their families, have left via land to Jordan and Egypt, while others have departed Israel by ship. The official did not have statistics for those departures, which do not necessarily involve U.S. government assistance.

There are roughly 700,000 American citizens, most of them dual U.S.-Israeli citizens, believed to be in Israel.

No comment from Israel and Iran UN missions

Iran’s mission declined to comment on Trump’s ceasefire post, and the Israeli mission said it had no immediate comment.

Iranian state media has no word on Tehran response

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported ongoing Israeli airstrikes, including around Tehran.

White House reposts Trump’s social media post announcing ceasefire

Vance calls Israel-Iran war ‘an important reset moment for the entire region’

Vice President JD Vance says he believes the world will look back at the war between Israel and Iran — and the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities — as “an important reset moment for the entire region.”

Vance appeared on Fox News Channel just minutes after Trump announced a phased-in ceasefire over the next 24 hours.

The vice president says the Trump administration hopes that the Iranians have learned an important lesson: If they want to build a nuclear weapon in the future, “they’re going to have to deal with a very, very powerful American military again.”

Vance says he thinks that will dissuade them not to do it.

Trump suggests full ceasefire will begin at midnight Wednesday

Trump’s social media post says the 24-hour phased-in ceasefire will begin at approximately midnight Tuesday EST, giving the two countries six hours to have “wound down and completed their in progress, final missions.”

At that point, he said, Iran will cease attacks, and 12 hours later, Tuesday at noon EST, Israel will also stop strikes, and after 12 more hours “the War will be considered, ENDED!”

US lifts ‘shelter in place’ warning for Americans in Qatar

The State Department has lifted the “shelter in place” warning to Americans in Qatar that it issued earlier Monday ahead of Iranian missile launches at a US military base there in retaliation for weekend U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The embassy in Doha, which had also instructed official personnel to stay inside, revoked the guidance in a statement issued late Monday afternoon Washington time after nearly all of the missiles were intercepted and Iran signaled there would be no more.

It noted that Qatari airspace, which had been closed earlier, remained closed and that the security situation in the country could change rapidly.
