Israel agreed to finalize Gaza ceasefire: Trump

The United States has approved a $510 million sale of munitions guidance kits and related support to Israel, the State Department announced Monday.

The United States must rule out any further strikes on Iran if it wants to resume diplomatic talks, Tehran`s deputy foreign minister has told the BBC.

US President Donald Trump has pleaded for progress in ceasefire talks in the war in Gaza, calling for a deal that would halt the fighting in the 20-monthlong conflict as the sides appeared to be inching closer to an agreement.

NATO leaders were set to sign up on Wednesday to a big increase in defence spending at a short summit tailor-made for U.S. President Donald Trump, who struck a reassuring tone on his commitment to protecting fellow members of the alliance.

A preliminary assessment by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) concludes that last weekend’s American air-strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites inflicted only modest, short-term damage, delaying Tehran’s program by mere months rather than destroying it outright, according to three officials familiar with the report.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on Monday evening announced the halt to the arms sales to Israel, Wafa reports citing the BGNES Information Agency.

A ceasefire between Iran and Israel came into effect at 0400 GMT Tuesday following hours of intensified hostilities during which Iran launched six waves of missile attacks targeting Israeli territory.

US President Donald Trump says that Iran and Israel have agreed to a “complete and total” ceasefire, which will come into effect in the coming hours.

Israel launched new airstrikes on the Fordo nuclear site, south of the Iranian capital Tehran, on Monday, Iranian media said.

Iran said on Monday that the U.S. attack on its nuclear sites expanded the range of legitimate targets for its armed forces and called U.S. President Donald Trump a "gambler" for joining Israel`s military campaign against the Islamic Republic.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Saturday that Iran would deliver a “more devastating” response if Israel’s sustained bombing campaign continues. Speaking amid a worsening conflict, Pezeshkian also vowed that Iran would not halt its nuclear programme “under any circumstances.”

US President Donald Trump said the US military launched a "very successful attack" Sunday on three Iranian nuclear sites including the Fordo uranium enrichment plant, as Washington joined Israel`s air campaign against Tehran.

The United States military has repositioned several aircraft and naval vessels from Middle East bases considered vulnerable to potential Iranian attacks, according to two U.S. officials speaking to Reuters on Wednesday.

As President Donald Trump keeps the world guessing about potential US military intervention in Israel’s ongoing attacks against Iran, new reports indicate that preparations are underway in the US capital for such action.

As Middle East tensions rise, U.S. officials have warned that Iran could resort to mining the strategic Strait of Hormuz if American forces intervene in support of Israel’s military operations—a move that could trap U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf and ignite a broader regional conflict.

US President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that he is seeking Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” and that Washington is only holding off on assassinating Islamic Republic Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “for now.”
