A ceasefire appears to falter within a few hours of it being announced - with Israel saying it is launching strikes on Tehran, while accusing Iran of breaching the agreement. Listen to Trump 100 as you scroll.

Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire in the Middle East, Reuters reports.
He adds that Iran's nuclear capacities are "gone" and says Tehran will never rebuild its nuclear programme.
We'll bring you more from the US president as we get it.
The Kremlin says Russia has supported Tehran with its "clear position" condemning US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Responding to a question about criticism from some commentators who have suggested Russia did not do enough to support Iran, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow intended to further develop its ties with Tehran.
He said that "many people are trying to spoil relations between Moscow and Tehran by adding fuel to the fire."
Peskov also noted that Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow yesterday,
had said he highly valued Russia's role.
Following this, our Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett says Russia would welcome a ceasefire between Iran and Israel if it holds because the Kremlin has a lot at stake.
"Iran is a very important strategic ally for Russia," he says.
"The question I have is what kind of role does Vladimir Putin play behind the scenes here? Donald Trump is the one making all the noise.
"But behind the scenes Putin has been working the phones and calling all the main protagonists and having conversations with a lot of leaders in the region.
"If he has played a part in this, then not only will he have preserved Russia's interests in the region, but he would have gained leverage with Trump and done him a favour which potentially he could cash in and use in another arena - Ukraine."
Qatar's prime minister is holding a news conference after Iran launched an attack against a US military base in Qatar yesterday.
The attack was in response to America's own strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities a day prior.
Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says he and regional partners were "surprised" with regards to the attack from a "neighbourly and brotherly country".
The prime minister says Qatar's armed forces have deterred attacks.
"There are many outrageous attacks on various countries," he says. "These irresponsible behaviours could lead the region to a more difficult situation."
He says Qatar encourages both the Americans and Iranians to "go to the negotiating table".
Israeli strikes hit Iran in three stages up until 5.30am UK time, before the ceasefire came into place, the spokesperson of Iran's central military headquarters has said, according to state TV.
Today, Iranian state TV said a ceasefire would take place in Iran from 7.30am local time.
It came as Iran's Supreme National Security Council, its top security body, said its armed forces were prepared to "decisively respond" to renewed attacks.

As we have been reporting today, Israel and Iran have accepted a ceasefire plan to end their 12-day war.
The shaky agreement was announced by Donald Trump after Tehran launched a limited retaliatory missile attack on a US military base in Qatar, following the US strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities during the weekend.
Israel has released an image of what it says is an Iranian rocket fired during the ceasefire.
"Iran continues to show its true nature as a terror state and a regional threat," the caption reads.
Iranian state TV says Tehran denies reports that it violated the ceasefire (see 9.37am post).
Here are the scenes in Tehran this morning in the hours following Donald Trump's ceasefire announcement.
A military presence is still active on the streets of the Iranian capital.
Earlier, Israel vowed to strike the "heart of Tehran" in response to what it claimed was an Iranian violation of the ceasefire this morning - claim Iran has denied.
The scale of the damage in Beer Sheba is "extensive", Sky News correspondent Cordelia Lynch, who is at the site of the missile strike, reports.
We reported earlier that Israel had said it detected launches from Iran, with defence minister Israel Katz later adding that Israel would respond "forcefully".
Iranian state media says Iran denies reports that it has violated the ceasefire.
"I think what is striking is how little we have heard from the Israeli government so far this morning," Lynch says.
"We expect to hear from the prime minister later on today.
"I think there is a careful choreography going on diplomatically to try and keep this ceasefire intact."
Iranian state media has responded to Israel's accusations, saying Iran denies reports that it has violated the ceasefire.

Even as Iran and the US officially confirmed a ceasefire, we were left waiting on official word from the Israeli government.
Eventually it said it had agreed to the deal, stating it had removed "a dual immediate existential threat 鈥� both in the nuclear and ballistic missile fields".
Perhaps it was playing wait and see.
And maybe it should have waited longer because only an hour or so later, the IDF said more missiles had been launched by Iran.
We will need to wait to see whether the ceasefire survives the morning, let alone the day.
But if one part of that dual threat clearly remains - ballistic missiles - people will also ask questions of the second, more existential threat - Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Because the text from the Israeli government wasn't just a statement, it was an argument.
"In Operation Rising Lion, the State of Israel achieved great historical achievements and placed itself on a par with the world powers," the government said.
That achievement would belong to the man who has driven affairs, launching this war and then enticing Donald Trump to join it - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It is a stunning achievement and has done much to repair his reputation.
But if the war with Iran is indeed over - a big if - attention will refocus on his failures - to bring back the hostages, dead and alive, still held by Hamas, and to end nearly two years of war in Gaza, a war has brought almost unimaginable suffering and left tens of thousands dead.
Israel's military will attack Iran "with force" after it committed a "serious ceasefire violation", a spokesperson for the IDF says.
Earlier, the military said it had identified missiles launched from Iran two hours after the start of the ceasefire.
