TEL AVIV, Israel — Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has informed United States President Donald Trump that it will suspend further military action against Iran, following a ceasefire agreement brokered by Washington and confirmed by both nations on Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
According to a statement from Netanyahu’s office, the assurance was conveyed during a direct phone call between Trump and Netanyahu on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, less than 24 hours after the U.S. President announced the ceasefire.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu informed President Trump that Israel would refrain from further attacks on Iran,” the statement read.
The ceasefire, announced late Monday, June 23, 2025, by President Trump and subsequently acknowledged by both Iran and Israel, has remained fragile.
Both parties have accused each other of breaching its terms even before it officially came into effect.
Netanyahu’s office said that four hours before the ceasefire deadline, Israeli forces carried out operations that resulted in the deaths of “hundreds of Iranian security personnel and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).”
In response, Iran reportedly launched a salvo of missiles, including one six minutes after the ceasefire began and two additional missiles approximately three and a half hours later.
Netanyahu’s office said the projectiles “were either intercepted or fell in open areas, and caused neither casualties nor damage.”
The statement also noted that in retaliation for what it termed “Iran’s violations,” the Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar installation near Tehran.
Despite the tense start to the ceasefire, Netanyahu’s office said President Trump expressed confidence in the truce’s stability and commended Israel for achieving its military objectives during the brief but intense conflict.
“President Trump conveyed his deep appreciation for Israel and the success of its military campaign, as well as his confidence in the durability of the ceasefire,” the statement added.
