Israel-Iran ceasefire appears to hold after Trump outburst at both sides

We start with a stern warning from U.S. President Donald Trump directed at Israel and Iran amid allegations of violations of the ceasefire he had earlier declared.

Shin Ha-young starts us off.

The 12-day war between Israel and Iran ended on Wednesday, following the end of a 24-hour phased ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, though both sides traded minor attacks during the truce.

President Trump gave a strong warning to both Israel and Iran, accusing them of violating the ceasefire.

According to the Associated Press, Trump on Tuesday expressed frustration with Israel for retaliating against Iran and called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to stop the attacks.

"Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel."

Trump also emphasized that he does not want to see "regime change" in Iran, which he said would lead to chaos.

"No, I don't want to. I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Regime change takes chaos and ideally, we don't want to see so much chaos."

This comes as tensions flared again just hours after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran took effect on Tuesday.

Israel accused Iran of violating the ceasefire with missile launches, while Iran denied the claims.

Israel and Iran both claimed victory in their recent conflict.

Israel said it had removed two major threats Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

"Dear citizens of Israel, during the 12 days of the operation Rising Lion, we achieved a historic victory, and this victory will stand for generations."

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on social media that Israel will respect the ceasefire as long as the other side does.

The military chief of staff Eyal Zamir said that Israel's military is shifting its focus back to Gaza.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would only hit Israel if it violates the ceasefire deal.

He also expressed his country's readiness to resolve disputes with the U.S. within an international framework.

Meanwhile, Trump's special Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, said the U.S. and Iran are engaged in both direct talks and discussions through intermediaries about returning to negotiations on Iran's nuclear program following Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

In an interview with Fox News, Witkoff added that the conversations are promising.
