US President Donald Trump has said that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran is now in effect and has urged both countries not to "violate" the agreement following further strikes overnight.
Trump initially said he had secured a "complete and total ceasefire" on Monday night following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on a US base in Qatar after an American attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
However, both Iran and Israel denied that this ceasefire was in place.
Just before 4am local time (2am BST), Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said that Iran would stop attacks if Israel stopped its own strikes by 4am (2am BST).
Reports suggest Israeli missiles continued right up until the deadline before ceasing. Israel is yet to comment officially on the ceasefire proposal.
