- Pete Hegseth: Based on everything we have seen and I've - seen it all - our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly.

Prime Minister's Office:

The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect at 7:00 AM. At 3:00 AM, Israel launched a powerful strike in the heart of Tehran, targeting regime infrastructure and eliminating hundreds of Basij members and Iranian security personnel.

Shortly before the ceasefire took effect, Iran fired a barrage of missiles, one of which struck Be'er Sheva and claimed the lives of four Israeli civilians.

At 7:00 AM, the ceasefire came into effect. However, at 7:06 AM, Iran launched another missile toward Israeli territory, followed by two more missiles at 10:25 AM. All three were intercepted or landed in open areas, causing no casualties or damage.

In response to these violations, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar installation near Tehran.

Following a phone call between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from carrying out additional strikes. During the conversation, President Trump conveyed his deep appreciation for Israel, which he said had accomplished all of the war’s objectives. The president also expressed confidence in the stability of the ceasefire.
