Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam was en route to Qatar when Iran launched a missile strike on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base there. In response, Qatar closed its airspace, forcing the Prime Minister’s aircraft into an emergency landing in Bahrain. The incident caused regional panic, prompting temporary airspace closures in Kuwait and Bahrain as well. No casualties were reported. Later, aviation authorities confirmed the restoration of normal operations. Salam has since safely arrived in Qatar after airspace reopened.

U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have called for the Iran-Israel ceasefire to be maintained. Trump stated that both nations equally wanted peace and hailed the destruction of nuclear facilities as an honor. Previously, he had accused both sides of violating the truce. Starmer emphasized the need for stability in the Middle East and urged Iran to abandon nuclear ambitions and return to negotiations. He also discussed the issue with NATO leaders and Qatar's Emir.

The United Nations has condemned a reported Israeli attack on Iran’s Evin Prison, calling it a serious breach of international law. Iran stated that the strike, which caused partial damage, occurred on Monday. UN spokesperson Thamin al-Khitani emphasized that Evin is not a military target, and striking such a facility violates international humanitarian law. The prison holds thousands of political prisoners, activists, and journalists. Iranian state media reported that one person was killed in the attack, citing the country’s judiciary.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that Iran will not take military action unless provoked by Israel. According to Iranian media outlet Nour News, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran will respect the ceasefire as long as Israel does. He also expressed Iran's willingness to engage in dialogue, stating that Tehran is committed to protecting its national interests through peaceful negotiations. The statement signals a potential shift toward diplomacy amid rising regional tensions and offers a conditional commitment to de-escalation.

Following a 12-day conflict, Iran and Israel appear to have reached a ceasefire, confirmed by both nations’ media after a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump. However, Iranian official Mehdi Mohammadi criticized all messages from the Trump administration as deceptive, warning they are tactics to escalate conflict under the guise of peace. While Trump praised both sides on Truth Social, Iran’s foreign minister denied any formal agreement had been reached. Confusion remains over the ceasefire’s timing and terms, with no official confirmation from either country.

Following the alleged missile launch from Iran, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered the IDF to prepare for a harsh response targeting key regime sites in central Tehran. Gallant emphasized that Israel would not tolerate violations of the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, hardline political factions in Israel have called for a preemptive strike on Iranian territory.

Israel has accused Iran of launching a ballistic missile just minutes after a ceasefire was announced. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that air raid sirens went off in the north shortly after Prime Minister Netanyahu accepted a U.S.-brokered ceasefire proposal from Donald Trump.

The IDF claimed the missile was intercepted mid-air, and no casualties or damage were reported.

Iranian media has confirmed the assassination of Mohammad Reza Seddiqi Saber, a high-ranking official linked to the country’s nuclear program.
He was reportedly targeted in an Israeli strike late last night in Astaneh Ashrafieh, Gilan Province.
This comes two months after the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Saber for alleged involvement in nuclear weapons proliferation.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Iran launched missiles toward Israeli territory just moments after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.
In a statement on Tuesday, the IDF confirmed:

“A short while ago, missile launches from Iran toward Israeli territory were detected. Air defense systems have been activated in response, and residents have been instructed to remain in protected areas.”
Earlier, Trump had declared, “Both Iran and Israel have agreed to a full and comprehensive ceasefire.”

Several military bases in Iraq, including Imam Ali, Balad, and Taji, have come under attack amid the Iran-Israel conflict. There have also been reports of drone strikes near Baghdad International Airport. Al Jazeera reported these developments, although the perpetrators remain unidentified. Iranian media outlet Tasnim reported hearing two large explosions inside Balad base, which was once the second-largest U.S. military installation in Iraq.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran has made it clear Israel initiated the conflict and Tehran has no interest in continuing the war. “So far, no agreement on ceasefire has been finalized. But if Israel stops its illegal attacks on the Iranian people by the set deadline of 4 AM, Iran will have no intention of continuing the war,” he said. However, it’s noteworthy that the declared deadline has already passed.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated on social media that Iran has not attacked anyone but will not tolerate aggression from others under any circumstances. He wrote, “We will never bow to aggression—this is the logic of the Iranian nation.” Earlier, Iran’s IRGC reportedly launched missile strikes at the U.S. military base Al-Udeid in Qatar, along with reports of attacks on another U.S. base in Iraq.

According to The New York Times, citing three Iranian officials, Tehran had warned Qatari authorities ahead of the missile strike on Al-Udeid Air Base to minimize casualties. Iran aimed to retaliate for the U.S. strike on its nuclear facilities while also preventing escalation. This mirrors a similar approach taken in 2020 when Iran informed Iraq ahead of retaliatory strikes following the killing of General Qassem Soleimani. Despite the warning, Qatar strongly condemned the attack as a blatant breach of its sovereignty.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council clarified that the missile strike on Al-Udeid Air Base was not directed against Qatar. In a statement, it emphasized that the attack was carried out away from civilian areas and posed no threat to the Qatari people. Iran reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining warm and historic relations with Qatar. Notably, Qatar has still denounced the incident as a violation of its sovereignty and the UN Charter.

On Monday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that more than 50 Israeli fighter jets struck military targets in Tehran. The IDF stated that the targeted sites included missile and radar production centers as well as missile storage facilities. Meanwhile, Iran’s Ministry of Health reported that at least 500 people have been killed in Israel’s attacks since June 13.
