After 12 days of aggression, Iran has emerged victorious from "Israel's" war after the ceasefire between Tehran and the Israeli occupation came into effect at 7:00 AM (local time).

Tehran's continued retaliations against the Israeli entity had put severe strain on "Israel's" deterrence capabilities, particularly as interceptor numbers dwindled and Iran scored increasing, strategic hits as the days went by, targeting Israeli military facilities and economic infrastructure.

US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire at midnight Monday, just hours after Iran launched a missile strike on the US air base in Qatar in retaliation for the US' attack on Iran's nuclear sites, namely Fordow.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on Trump's remarks, saying that Tehran has no intention of continuing the war if "Israel" halts its illegal attacks on the Iranian people.

On behalf of all Iranians, Araghchi thanked, "our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last minute."

The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute, at 4am.

Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who…

On the Israeli side, media outlets reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call with US President Donald Trump in recent hours, amid a convened meeting of the expanded cabinet, after which Netanyahu instructed ministers to refrain from making public statements.

He later reconvened with the inner cabinet, and following that meeting, announced his approval of the ceasefire.

Iran makes final strike before ceasefire

Iran launched a number of retaliatory strikes overnight, with the last being recorded in Beer al-Sabe, occupied Palestine, where casualties were reported.

A first wave of strikes triggered sirens across settlements and occupied territories in the north and the al-Naqab desert. According to Israeli media, no direct hits were recorded in this initial attack.

Minutes later, the Israeli Home Front Command warned of a second wave of missile strikes launched from Iran, this time targeting central areas including Tel Aviv and al-Quds. Footage soon surfaced showing an impact in the al-Naqab desert, specifically in Bir al-Sabe', where a seven-story building reportedly sustained a direct hit, causing significant damage.

Israeli military officials confirmed that search and rescue teams were deployed to several impact zones, and emergency services later stated they were treating three settlers in critical condition, one in moderate condition, and five with light injuries, while eight fatalities were reported.

Rescue efforts were also underway to free settlers trapped under the rubble.

At around 6:15 am (local time), the Israeli military warned of a third wave of strikes, prompting renewed sirens in central areas, including Tel Aviv and Bir al-Sabe'.

Shortly after, at 6:33 am, the military issued a brief message permitting settlers to leave protected areas, only to reverse the instruction a minute later as a fourth missile salvo was launched. By 6:41 am, sirens were again sounding across Tel Aviv and its surrounding areas.
