Israel and Iran appeared to be honoring a ceasefire agreement unexpectedly announced by Donald Trump overnight, after the US president reacted angrily to reports of early breaches of the deal by both sides.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to hold off on further strikes after a conversation with Trump on Tuesday, according to a statement from his office. Israel had destroyed a radar complex near Tehran after the truce came into effect as of 7 a.m. local time, in response to three missiles from Iran, the prime minister’s office said. 

Reports of attacks by both sides in the early hours of the peace accord triggered a furious reaction from Trump, who had declared the war over late Monday after 12 days of fighting. “DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS,” read one post on his Truth Social platform, directed at Israel in particular. “IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION.”
