Trump announced a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran at midnight, declaring the "12-day war" over with Iran to cease operations first. Iranian officials immediately rejected the claim, stating no agreement existed. Within hours, Iran launched fresh ballistic missile strikes on Israel, killing 3-7 people in multiple attacks on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Trump grew increasingly frustrated as his diplomatic initiative unraveled, calling Netanyahu directly and demanding Israel recall its pilots with the words "Don't drop those bombs." Despite the presidential warning, explosions were heard in Tehran as Israeli forces targeted Iranian radar systems. Both sides violated the fragile truce within two-and-a-half hours.
Indian flights were forced to make U-turns mid-journey after Iran's attack on US bases in Qatar disrupted air corridors. The Air India crash in Ahmedabad was confirmed to have killed 275 people.
