Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. This plan came from U.S. President Donald Trump. Their war lasted 12 days and caused problems in the Middle East. Before this, Iran attacked a U.S. army base in Qatar with missiles because they were angry. Both countries said yes to the plan after Iran sent more missiles to Israel. These attacks killed at least five people on Tuesday morning. Also, Israel attacked many places in Iran with planes before the sun came up.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, said that Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. He said they worked with Trump to make this happen. Netanyahu also told Israel's security team that they had reached all their goals in the 12-day fight against Iran. He said they removed the danger of Iran's nuclear and missile plans. Israel also hurt Iran's army leaders and some government places. Netanyahu said that Israel now controls the sky over Tehran. He warned that Israel will fight back strongly if Iran breaks the agreement to stop fighting.
Israel attacked cities in Iran until almost 4 AM. After that, Iran sent many missiles to Israel. People in Israel quickly went to safe places when the sun came up. Five people died and eight were hurt. This information came from Israel's Magen David Adom, a group that helps people. Police said Iran's missiles damaged at least three buildings with many homes in Beersheba. Rescue workers found five dead bodies in one building and and looked for more. At least 20 people were hurt. Outside, there were burnt cars on the streets. Broken glass and small rocks were everywhere. Many emergency workers came to look for people still inside the buildings. Police said some people got hurt even in their safe rooms. These rooms are usually strong against rockets, but not against direct hits from big missiles.
A missile hit the biggest city in southern Israel before Trump said the fighting had stopped. Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to stop fighting completely. This happened after Iran fired some missiles at a U.S. army base in Qatar. Iran did this because the U.S. had bombed Iran's nuclear sites. Iran told the U.S. before they attacked, so no one was hurt. Trump said on Truth Social that the fighting would officially end around midnight in Washington. Trump called the fighting between Israel and Iran the '12 Day War.' This reminds people of the 'Six Day War' in 1967, when Israel fought against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Trump's name for the war is important for people in the Arab world, especially Palestinians.
In the 1967 war, Israel took land from other countries. They took the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan. They also took the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Later, Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt, but they still have the other areas. A White House official, who did not want their name known, said that Trump spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the fighting. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Steve Witkoff spoke to the Iranians in different ways. The White House said that the bombing on Saturday helped Israel agree to stop fighting. They also said that the government of Qatar helped to make the agreement. We do not know what Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, did in the talks. He had said before that he would not give up.
Officials said Iran's attack made them close the country's sky for important flights for some hours. Some planes had to fly in circles over the Mediterranean Sea, according to news from Israel. Israel's airports have been closed since the war with Iran began, but a few important flights started to come and go in the last few days. On Tuesday morning, Qatar Airways started flying again after Qatar closed its sky because of the Iranian attack on Al Udeid Air Base. Plane tracking information showed normal planes flying in Qatar's sky again, which meant Doha thought the danger to the country was gone.
Many people have died because of the fighting. In Israel, 29 people have died and over 1,000 are hurt in the war. In Iran, attacks have killed at least 974 people and hurt 3,458 others. A group called Human Rights Activists shared this information. They said that among those who died, 387 were normal people and 268 were police or soldiers. The U.S. has helped about 250 American citizens and their close family members leave Israel by plane. These flights started a few days ago. It is thought that around 700,000 American citizens are in Israel, and most of them are also Israeli citizens.
