Mapped: Where strikes were targeted in Iran and Israel

While the ceasefire has put an end to attacks - at least for now - here is a reminder of where strikes had landed in both countries.

Israel 'will respect' ceasefire as long as Iran does

The ceasefire appears to be holding between Israel and Iran. 

And Israel's defence minister has said it will stay that way, as long as Iran doesn't break it.

Posting on social media after speaking with his US counterpart Pete Hegseth, he said he "emphasised that Israel will respect the ceasefire - as long as the other side does".

We reported a similar message earlier from Iran's president, who said Tehran won't violate the deal unless Israel does.

Iran airspace not reopened yet, but will do tonight - reports

Despite a flight-tracking website suggesting otherwise, reports in Iran are saying the country's airspace has not yet been reopened.

We reported earlier that Flightradar 24 had said flights are now free to resume in Iran with prior permission.

But the Young Journalists' Club media website cited statements by the spokesperson for the country's roads and urban development ministry in denying that claim.

State-run Nour News has reported it will reopen tonight, but it did not give a time.

Explained: From 'Make Iran Great Again' to a sudden ceasefire - how Trump's words marked a U-turn

The past 36 hours or so have seen the Middle East teeter on the brink, only for Israel and Iran to agree a sudden - but fragile - ceasefire.

At the centre of it all has been Donald Trump, whose posts on social media - often written in block capital letters and with plenty of exclamation marks - have had major geopolitical implications.

Here's a quick recap of the week so far, shaped through the president's own words:

'MIGA!!!'

Late on Sunday - and just a day after the US struck nuclear sites in Iran - Trump hinted at regime change, warning the country's leaders must "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN".

'Bullseye!!!'

He followed that up in the early hours of Monday with another post on Truth Social, this time hailing the "monumental damage" done to Iran's nuclear sites.

"Obliteration is an accurate term," he wrote, adding "bullseye!!!".

Dig at the 'fake news'

He doubled down on the above claim - just as a US military base in Qatar came under attack from Iran in retaliation.

He wouldn't address that attack in this social media post, instead he took aim at "the Fake News" for seemingly not sticking to his claim that targets were "totally destroyed" in Iran.

'Very weak response'

But little more than an hour later, he finally addressed the Iranian attack on a US base, which Washington said caused no damage.

He described it as a "very weak response", adding no US soldiers were hurt and thanking Iran for warning them of the impending attack.

The sudden ceasefire

Then it came - at around 11pm last night, Trump claimed Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.

That came mere hours after Iran attacked the US base, with the president writing "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE" as he toasted the truce.

The F-bomb

But his apparently cheery mood wouldn't last, as reports came in of an Israeli attack as the truce was due to come into effect this morning.

A visibly angry Trump told reporters he has "got to get Israel to calm down", before he dropped a bomb of his own.

"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing," he said.

Warning for Israel

Trump, who was said to have "direct" words for Israel's prime minister, posted again, insisting there will be no more attacks on Iran.

"All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran," he wrote, before separately adding Iran will never rebuild their nuclear facilities.

Gushing texts

It didn't stop there. This afternoon, he shared what he said was a message from NATO chief Mark Rutte.

"Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action on Iran," reads the effusive screenshot.

An 'honour'

And most recently, he wrote: "Both Israel and Iran wanted to stop the War, equally! It was my great honor to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability, and then, STOP THE WAR!"

He's now attending the NATO summit in the Netherlands, but there's every chance we will hear more from him in the meantime.

We'll bring you the latest as he speaks - or types.

Netanyahu: We achieved a historic victory - and we will strike again if needed

In a video message to Israelis broadcast just now, Benjamin Netanyahu hails what he calls a "historic victory".

He says this victory will "stand for generations".

He adds Israel has "never had a better friend" than Donald Trump in the White House.

Turning his attentions to the "Iranian axis", he says Israel "must complete the campaign".

That means defeating Hamas and bringing all the Israeli hostages remaining in Gaza home, both living and dead.

He also said: "We have dismantled the Iranian nuclear project.

"And if anyone in Iran thinks of rebuilding it - we will strike again."

Watch: Trump dodges question on key NATO defence

Donald Trump has now arrived in the Netherlands for a NATO summit, fresh from brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. 

On his way, he was asked if the US would adhere to Article 5, which is the alliance's mutual defence clause.

That's what a NATO member could trigger if it ever came under attack, and would request help from the rest of the alliance.

But Trump said earlier today there are "numerous" definitions of Article 5.

The NATO chief has since said he has "no doubt" the US is committed to that defence pact.

Israel 'embarrassed' by Trump's public telling-off

Our has some behind-the-scenes information from Israel.

After Donald Trump's furious remarks this morning - telling reporters he's not happy with Israel and they, along with Iran, "don't know what the f*** they are doing" - some faces turned red, it appears.

Citing a person familiar with discussions, NBC said the leadership was "stunned" and "embarrassed" by the public dressing-down.

"They were surprised that he went and did all that in such a public way and basically switched on them very quickly," the person said.

"They just ended this war on a high and then this is kind of a little... nick."

Israel lifts all restrictions for public

Israelis no longer have any restrictions on their movement or level of activity in the country, the military has announced.

As of 8pm local time (6pm in the UK), Israel lifted any remaining rules on the public's movement.

Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv is also resuming operations, with the airport authority "in contact" with airlines to speed up the return to normality.

NATO chief has 'no problem' with Trump sharing his gushing text

We brought you a screenshot shared by Donald Trump earlier, showing a gushing text sent by NATO chief Mark Rutte.

"Donald, you have driven us to a really really important moment for America and Europe, and the world," it reads in part of the long message. 

But if Rutte is upset that Trump publicised that message, he isn't showing it.

"I have absolutely no trouble or problem with that because there's nothing in it which had to stay secret," he told reporters.

The pair are due to cross paths shortly, with the president on his way to a NATO summit in the Netherlands.
