President Donald Trump says a ceasefire agreed between Israel and Iran is now in effect, and urges both sides not to violate it.
The announcement comes after Iran launched several volleys of missiles at Israel, killing at least four people in the southern city of Beersheba.
The Aljezeera reports that Israel was yet to comment publicly.
Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there was no agreement on a ceasefire with Israel, but that Tehran will halt attacks if Israel stops its “illegal aggression” by 4am local time (00:30 GMT).

Iran also fired a salvo of missiles at a military base in Qatar that houses American troops on Monday evening, in retaliation for the US’s attacks on its nuclear sites a day earlier.
Iran said that more than 400 people, including 13 children, have been killed and at least 3,056 others wounded since Israel launched its attack on June 13.
In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed in Iranian strikes.
