Trump's announced ceasefire between Israel and Iran began at 6 AM Italian time but immediately faced accusations of violations from both sides. Israel claimed to intercept Iranian missiles after the truce began, while Iran denied launching any projectiles post-ceasefire. Trump's initial celebration turned to profanity-laced fury, declaring both nations "don't know what the f*** they're doing" and personally telephoning Netanyahu to halt Israeli bombing runs.
By afternoon, Iran officially declared the end of what it termed the "12-day war" while simultaneously announcing resumed uranium enrichment. CNN reported US strikes had only delayed Iran's nuclear program by months, not years as initially claimed. The ceasefire appeared to hold despite Trump's outburst, with Israel lifting civilian restrictions by evening.
Italian media also covered university medicine enrollment opening with new fees, while Prime Minister Meloni addressed the Senate regarding EU Council meetings and later dined with Trump to discuss NATO summit preparations.
