Analysis
Reported ceasefire signal
Mehr says Israeli media in the occupied Palestinian lands reported that the Zionist regime wants the missile exchange to stop after Iran agreed to suspend its own strikes. The piece cites Al Jazeera as saying Israel Hayom described the regime as wanting an end to the war after Iran's missile attacks.
Conditional halt
According to the article, the outlet said Israel and the United States sent Iran a message saying that if Iran does not fire again, there will be no further attacks from the Israeli side. The same report says Israel Hayom acknowledged the effect of Iran's strikes and framed Israel's own attack pause as dependent on Iran also stopping its missiles.
U.S. pressure and Trump's claim
The article also says Axios, citing an American official, claimed Washington did not approve Israel's attacks against Iran and told Netanyahu to stop them. Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed both Israel and Iran were seeking an immediate ceasefire and said final negotiations on "peace" were underway.
The story is short and heavily framed through quoted reporting, so it should be read as a report about claims circulating in Israeli and American media rather than as a direct confirmation of a final deal.
Key points
- Israeli media reportedly said the regime wants the war to stop after Iran paused missile strikes.
- The report says Israel and the United States told Iran that no further attacks would follow if Iran does not fire again.
- Axios, citing an American official, claimed Washington did not approve Israel's attacks and told Netanyahu to stop them.
- Trump said both Israel and Iran were seeking an immediate ceasefire and claimed peace talks were underway.
If the reported messages are accurate, both sides could pause attacks and avoid a wider regional war. A ceasefire would also give diplomats room to push for a more stable agreement.
The reported truce appears conditional, so one new strike could restart the fighting. The article also suggests the U.S. and Israel still disagree over the pace and shape of the response, which could derail any pause.
