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. Iran retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones directed at Israel.
In Israel, 28 people died and over 3,000 were injured, according to Israel’s Health Ministry. Iranian state media reported that 627 people died and at least 4,870 were wounded in Iran.
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,” while a classified US intelligence assessment reported that the attacks may have only delayed Iran’s developments by a few months.
