 Following President Trump's comments, we can now bring you the prime minister.

Sir Keir Starmer has just arrived in the Netherlands for a two-day NATO summit.

While on the way, the prime minister told journalists he wants the ceasefire between Israel and Iran to continue.

"The sooner we get back to that, the better," he said.

"And that's the message that I'm discussing with other leaders today.

"We need to get back to that ceasefire, which is consistent with what I've been saying about de-escalation for quite some time now."

We have some more comments to bring you from Donald Trump.

"We have to have Israel to calm down because they went on a mission this morning," he tells reporters.

"I've got to get Israel to calm down."

On reports that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire, Trump says: "I'm not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn't reign people back.

"I don't like the fact that Israel went out this morning, and I'm going to see if I can stop it. 

"As soon as I get away from you, I'm going to see if I can stop it."

"As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs," he adds. 

"The likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel.

"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire in the Middle East.

Speaking to reporters before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague, he says he's "not happy" with Israel and Iran, before adding he is "really unhappy" with Israel.

Trump adds that Iran's nuclear capacities are "gone" and says Tehran will never rebuild its nuclear programme. 

In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump says it would be a "major violation" if Israel were to drop bombs on Iran now, telling Israel to "bring your pilots home, now".

The Kremlin says Russia has supported Tehran with its "clear position" condemning US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Responding to a question about criticism from some commentators who have suggested Russia did not do enough to support Iran, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow intended to further develop its ties with Tehran.

He said that "many people are trying to spoil relations between Moscow and Tehran by adding fuel to the fire."

Peskov also noted that Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow yesterday,
had said he highly valued Russia's role.

Following this, our Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett says Russia would welcome a ceasefire between Iran and Israel if it holds because the Kremlin has a lot at stake.

"Iran is a very important strategic ally for Russia," he says. 

"The question I have is what kind of role does Vladimir Putin play behind the scenes here? Donald Trump is the one making all the noise.

"But behind the scenes Putin has been working the phones and calling all the main protagonists and having conversations with a lot of leaders in the region.

"If he has played a part in this, then not only will he have preserved Russia's interests in the region, but he would have gained leverage with Trump and done him a favour which potentially he could cash in and use in another arena - Ukraine."

Qatar's prime minister is holding a news conference after Iran launched an attack against a US military base in Qatar yesterday.

The attack was in response to America's own strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities a day prior.

Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says he and regional partners were "surprised" with regards to the attack from a "neighbourly and brotherly country".

The prime minister says Qatar's armed forces have deterred attacks.

"There are many outrageous attacks on various countries," he says. "These irresponsible behaviours could lead the region to a more difficult situation."

He says Qatar encourages both the Americans and Iranians to "go to the negotiating table".

Israeli strikes hit Iran in three stages up until 5.30am UK time, before the ceasefire came into place, the spokesperson of Iran's central military headquarters has said, according to state TV.

Today, Iranian state TV said a ceasefire would take place in Iran from 7.30am local time.

It came as Iran's Supreme National Security Council, its top security body, said its armed forces were prepared to "decisively respond" to renewed attacks.

As we have been reporting today, Israel and Iran have accepted a ceasefire plan to end their 12-day war.

The shaky agreement was announced by Donald Trump after Tehran launched a limited retaliatory missile attack on a US military base in Qatar, following the US strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities during the weekend.

Israel has released an image of what it says is an Iranian rocket fired during the ceasefire.

"Iran continues to show its true nature as a terror state and a regional threat," the caption reads.

Iranian state TV says Tehran denies reports that it violated the ceasefire (see 9.37am post).

Here are the scenes in Tehran this morning in the hours following Donald Trump's ceasefire announcement.

A military presence is still active on the streets of the Iranian capital.

Earlier, Israel vowed to strike the "heart of Tehran" in response to what it claimed was an Iranian violation of the ceasefire this morning - claim Iran has denied.

The scale of the damage in Beer Sheba is "extensive", Sky News correspondent Cordelia Lynch, who is at the site of the missile strike, reports.

We reported earlier that Israel had said it detected launches from Iran, with defence minister Israel Katz later adding that Israel would respond "forcefully".

Iranian state media says Iran denies reports that it has violated the ceasefire.

"I think what is striking is how little we have heard from the Israeli government so far this morning," Lynch says.

"We expect to hear from the prime minister later on today.

"I think there is a careful choreography going on diplomatically to try and keep this ceasefire intact."

Iranian state media has responded to Israel's accusations, saying Iran denies reports that it has violated the ceasefire.

Israel's military claimed it had detected launches from Iran earlier, with defence minister Israel Katz later adding that Israel would respond "forcefully".
