The 12-day brutal conflict between Israel and Iran has officially come to a halt following a ceasefire. Both Iran and Israel accepted a ceasefire proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump on 24 June. Within hours, the intensity of war subsided. However, before the ceasefire could fully take effect, Iran launched three missile strikes early that morning, killing seven Israelis. In retaliation, Israel carried out pre-dawn airstrikes on Iranian targets.
