The Israeli government has confirmed it has agreed to Donald Trump’s ceasefire proposal.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that ‘Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.’
He added that Israel has achieved its goal of ‘removing Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat.’
His government said its operation – dubbed Rising Lion – had removed the ‘immediate existential threat’ of Iran’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
In addition, it said the Israeli military ‘severely struck government targets in the heart of Tehran’ during the last 24 hours, as well as ‘eliminating another senior nuclear scientist.’
‘In addition, the IDF has achieved full air control over Tehran’s skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets,’ the statement adds.
Netanyahu is expected to deliver a statement later today.
