The twelve-day Iran-Israel war officially ended at dawn as Trump announced the ceasefire, with Netanyahu claiming Israel achieved its goal of eliminating Iran's nuclear threat. Middle East Airlines immediately scheduled exceptional flights to compensate for canceled routes during the conflict.
Confusion emerged within hours as Iranian missiles were reportedly fired toward Israel despite the truce, prompting Israeli threats of retaliation. Iran then denied launching any rockets, leaving the ceasefire's status unclear. Iranian officials claimed their responses had forced Israel to halt attacks while maintaining full readiness.
Lebanese officials used the moment to advance domestic agendas. Kataeb leader Gemayel declared they would resolve unauthorized weapons "amicably" but would not accept living under arms outside state control. From Doha, Prime Minister Salam emphasized Lebanon's neutrality success in avoiding war entanglement.
By evening, Trump told Netanyahu "our mission is finished," while Lebanese forces arrested a senior ISIS leader, suggesting security operations continued despite regional calm.
