Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war, after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.

Israel has agreed to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for a ceasefire with Iran after it achieved its goal of removing Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile threat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement on Tuesday.

Iranian state television reported that the military denied firing missiles after the start of the ceasefire — while accusing Israel of conducting strikes. It offered no evidence to support the claim of Israeli fire, with the last reports of such attacks coming before dawn.
