Tel Aviv, 24 June 2025 (dpa/MIA) - The Israeli government has confirmed the ceasefire with Iran, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informing his Cabinet that Israel had achieved all its war objectives, according to Netanyahu's office.

Israel had even achieved far beyond its objectives, so it agreed to the proposal by US President Donald Trump for a ceasefire with Iran, Netanyahu's office said on Tuesday.

Trump's announcement in Washington came several hours earlier, and was followed by a post on X from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said Tehran would halt its military response if Israel ended attacks.

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that a "complete and total" ceasefire between Israel and Iran had been reached and would begin within hours.
