Israel has informed U.S. President Donald Trump that it will refrain from further attacks on Iran in a conversation between Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, Netanyahu’s office said.
Trump had stressed his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire he had announced earlier, the report said.
Trump announced the ceasefire late Monday, and it was confirmed by Israel and Iran on Tuesday.
But both sides accused the other of violations, and Trump also stated that both had broken the ceasefire agreement.
Netanyahu’s office reported those four hours before the ceasefire was to go into effect, Israeli forces had killed hundreds of Iranian security personnel and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC).
Iran had in turn launched a barrage of missiles shortly before the ceasefire deadline, a single missile six minutes after the ceasefire had gone into effect and a further two missiles around three and a half hours later, it said.
“These missiles were either intercepted or fell in open areas, and caused neither casualties nor damage,” Netanyahu’s office said.
“In response to Iran’s violations, the Air Force destroyed a radar installation near Tehran,” it added.
In the conversation with Netanyahu, Trump had expressed his great appreciation for Israel, which achieved all of its objectives for the war, as well as his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire, Netanyahu’s office said.
