Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire after 12 days of intensive military conflict marked by airstrikes and missile attacks. The hostilities commenced with Israel's preemptive strike aimed at Iran's nuclear capabilities on June 13. Following Iran's missile retaliation, the situation escalated dramatically, resulting in significant casualties. Reports indicate 28 Israeli fatalities and over 3,000 injuries, alongside 627 deaths and nearly 5,000 injuries in Iran. Although the US played a role by targeting Iranian sites, uncertainty lingers regarding the long-term impact on Iran's nuclear development.
The damage is done. After 12 days of airstrikes, drones, and missile attacks, including US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites ordered by President Donald Trump, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Trump on Tuesday.
The '12 Day War' began on June 13 when Israel launched a surprise attack it said was a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.
Whether the US and Israel succeeded in halting Iran's nuclear program remains unclear. The White House maintains that Iran's nuclear facilities were 'obliterated'.
Iranian state media reported that 627 people died and at least 4,870 were wounded in Iran, illustrating the human cost of the conflict.
