Aerial Patrols Over Tehran
Reports also indicate that aerial patrols are being conducted over Eslamshahr, located near southern Tehran. Interestingly, local media have yet to provide substantial coverage of the explosions and air defense operations.
Emerging reports of aerial patrols above Tehran’s skies continue, yet domestic media has been notably reticent about the #Explosions and activity in Eslamshahr. Caution seems the order of the day for media outlets lately. #IsraeliranWar

Ceasefire Announcement Amidst Tensions
In a significant development, President Trump announced on Monday evening that Israel and Iran have reached an agreement for a total ceasefire, following U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites.
“CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR.” This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!” Trump declared on Truth Social.
