<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Tuesday that
"Israel" has accepted US President Donald Trump\u2019s proposal for a
ceasefire with Iran.</p>
<p>According to a statement from Netanyahu\u2019s office, the decision
followed the claimed achievement of all strategic objectives. \u201cIn
Operation \u2018Rising Lion,\u2019 the State of Israel achieved monumental
historical successes and placed itself in line with the great powers of
the world,\u201d the statement said.</p>
<p>While pledging commitment to the ceasefire, Netanyahu\u2019s office also
warned that "Israel" would \u201crespond forcefully to any violation.\u201d The
announcement followed a closed-door security cabinet meeting Monday
night, after which ministers <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/netanyahu-instructs-ministers-not-to-comment-on-iran-ceasefi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">were instructed to avoid public remarks</a>.</p>
<p>The statement claimed that Israeli forces secured \u201cfull air control
over Tehran\u2019s skies,\u201d inflicted significant losses on Iran\u2019s military
leadership, and destroyed \u201cdozens of central Iranian government
targets.\u201d</p>
<p>The statement praised the US, expressing gratitude to US President
Donald Trump and his administration for their \u201csupport in defense and
their participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat.\u201d</p>
<p>It concluded by reiterating the ceasefire agreement, stating that \u201cin
light of the achievement of the operation\u2019s objectives, and in full
coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the president\u2019s
proposal for a bilateral ceasefire,\u201d while again warning that any breach
would be met with a \u201cforceful\u201d response.</p>
<h2>Iran emerges victorious as ceasefire with 'Israel' take effect</h2>
<p>Despite Netanyahu's claims, "Israel" did not achieve its objectives
in the war, as Iran's nuclear and missile programs remain operational,
despite the hits they sustained.</p>
<p>Iran emerged victorious from "Israel's" war after the ceasefire
between Tehran and the Israeli occupation came into effect at 7:00 AM
(local time).</p>
<p>Tehran's continued retaliations against the Israeli entity had put
severe strain on "Israel's" deterrence capabilities, particularly as
interceptor numbers dwindled and Iran scored increasing, strategic hits
as the days went by, targeting Israeli military facilities and economic
infrastructure.</p>
<p>US President Donald<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/trump-announces-ceasefire--iran-denies-receiving-any-proposa">Trump announced the ceasefire at midnight Monday,</a><span> </span>just
hours after Iran launched a missile strike on the US air base in Qatar
in retaliation for the US' attack on Iran's nuclear sites, namely
Fordow.</p>
<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on Trump's remarks,
saying that Tehran has no intention of continuing the war if "Israel"
halts its illegal attacks on the Iranian people.</p>
<p>On behalf of all Iranians, Araghchi thanked, "our brave Armed Forces
who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of
blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last
minute."</p>
<p>On the Israeli side, media outlets reported that Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call with US President Donald Trump in
recent hours, amid a convened meeting of the expanded cabinet, after
which Netanyahu instructed ministers to refrain from making public
statements.</p>
<p>He later reconvened with the inner cabinet, and following that meeting, announced his approval of the ceasefire.</p>
