The Critical Threats Project (CTP) at the American Enterprise Institute and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) are publishing multiple updates daily to provide analysis on the war with Iran. The morning update will focus on the exchange of fire between Iran and Israel.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel appears to be holding despite both Israeli and Iranian claims of violations. US President Donald Trump announced on June 23 that Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire. Trump said that Iran would halt strikes on Israel 12 hours before Israel stopped attacks on Iran. It appears that Iran halted strikes on Israel at 12:00 AM ET on June 24 whereas Israel halted attacks at 8:30 PM ET on June 23. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi both confirmed that their forces would abide by the ceasefire. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) also confirmed that Iran would adhere to the ceasefire.

Israel has responded to perceived Iranian violations of the ceasefire but has not resumed its campaign at this time. Netanyahu said that Iran launched three ballistic missiles targeting Israel after the ceasefire went into effect. Iranian media and officials denied the claim. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck a radar in Babolsar, north of Tehran, in response to the Iranian missile attack after 12:00 AM ET. Netanyahu said that Israel would refrain from additional retaliatory attacks after a conversation with Trump. Netanyahu told the Israeli cabinet and senior security officials that the IDF achieved all of its objectives in its campaign against Iran. Iran has not conducted an attack on Israel since approximately 3:25 AM ET on June 24. Israel has not conducted an attack on Iran since approximately 7:35 AM ET on June 24.

Key Takeaways:

• The ceasefire between Iran and Israel appears to be holding despite both Israeli and Iranian claims of violations. Israel has responded to perceived Iranian violations of the ceasefire but has not resumed its campaign at this time.

• Iran has conducted at least seven ballistic missile attacks targeting Israel since CTP-ISW's last data cutoff at 5:00 PM ET on June 23. Iran launched five of the attacks before the ceasefire went into effect at 12:00 AM ET, one attack at 12:06 AM ET, and one attack around 3:25 AM ET. Israel conducted several waves of airstrikes in Tehran on June 23 and 24 before and after the ceasefire went into effect.

• An unspecified senior US military official told the Associated Press on June 24 that the United States intercepted drones that targeted Ain al Asad Airbase and another unspecified base near Baghdad Airport overnight on June 23 and 24.
