Isreali prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated on Tuesday that the country has “refrained” from further strikes on Iran, after a phone call with US president Donald Trump. This comes after 12 days of ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

“Following President Trump’s conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from further strikes”, the statement said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Israel had accused Iran of violating the ceasefire brokered by US president Donald Trump, with the Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, vowing to “respond forcefully” without delay.

In retaliation for the attack, Israel had “destroyed a radar installation near Tehran”, the statement said, as reported by AFP. Iranian authorities had denied responsibility for firing missiles aimed at Israel.

“Israel. Do not drop those bombs. If you do it is a major violation”, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account following the attacks. Trump had said, “I did not like that Israel ‘unloaded ‘ immediately after agreeing to ceasefire”, and added, 'I am not happy with Iran either”.

Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said on Tuesday that, “If the Zionist regime does not violate the ceasefire, Iran will not violate it either”, during a phone call with Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Just before the ceasefire had started, Israel had fired around 100 munitions targeting several sites in Tehran, as reported by AP.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had announced a “complete and total ceasefire” between Iran and Israel, phased over for 24 hours after which “the war will be considered, ENDED!”, as posted by him on his Truth Social platform.

Data suggests that 28 people have been killed, with 1,347 affected in Israel. According to Iranian State TV, a high-profile nuclear scientist named Mohammad Reza Sedighi Saber had been killed in an Israeli strike early on Tuesday.
