Beersheba, June 24: Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East, after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.<\/p>\n
The acceptance of the deal by both sides came after Tehran launched a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel that killed at least four people early Tuesday morning, while Israel launched a blitz of airstrikes targeting sites across Iran before dawn.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to a bilateral ceasefire with Iran in coordination with Trump.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu said that he had reported to Israel\u2019s security cabinet Monday night that Israel had achieved all of its war goals in the 12-day operation against Iran, including removing the threat of Iran\u2019s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Israel also damaged Iran\u2019s military leadership and several government sites and achieved control over Tehran\u2019s skies, Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsrael will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire,\u201d Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
