Israeli emergency responders reported that four people were killed in a fresh Iranian missile attack early Tuesday, just hours after President Trump announced a cease-fire agreement that could potentially end the war.
The missile strikes triggered air raid sirens across Israel around dawn, sending residents rushing in and out of shelters. Initially, Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency service, reported seven fatalities, but later revised the number down to four.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X that his country would halt its attacks as long as Israel did. Israel hasn’t announced its position on Trump’s cease-fire.
Fighting had continued after midnight, with Iranian state media reporting Israeli attacks on Tehran and Israel’s military saying it had intercepted drones launched by Iran. Residents said the bombardment of the capital had been heavy.
Trump’s announcement of a deal came hours after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in a telegraphed attack that caused no injuries or deaths. Trump said the early notice and lack of casualties left the door open for an end to the fighting.
