Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that Israel has agreed to US President Donald Trump's offer of a ceasefire with Iran, as he has achieved his goal of eliminating the nuclear and ballistic missile threat from Tehran.
This was reported by Reuters.
"Israel thanks President Trump and the United States for their defense support and participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat. In light of achieving the objectives of the operation and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the President's offer of a mutual ceasefire," the statement said.
It is indicated that Netanyahu, who will make a statement later on June 24, also said that Israel will respond harshly to any violation of the ceasefire.
Recall, Trump announced the declaration of a truce between Iran and Israel, after which the war will be considered over.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, a major traffic jam has formed in the Persian Gulf, where nearly a thousand ships have been stranded since last week. Shipping in the Persian Gulf has slowed due to the Israeli-Iranian conflict, as GPS interference increases the risk of collisions, and escalating regional tensions are forcing shipping companies to limit transit to daytime hours only.
