Israel has formally agreed to the US-brokered ceasefire with Iran after claiming it has eliminated Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed acceptance of President Donald Trump’s ceasefire proposal, saying Israel achieved its strategic objectives. In an official statement, the Israeli government said it had removed Iran’s “dual immediate existential threat” and inflicted “severe damage” on Iranian military leadership and key infrastructure. The government expressed gratitude to Trump and the US for their support and direct participation in neutralising Iran’s nuclear threat. The truce follows weeks of escalating conflict and multiple missile exchanges. (PC: Reuters)
