Trump ceasefire live: Deal looks uncertain as bombs continue to explode in the Middle East

Some of the missiles in Iran's latest attack appears to have penetrated Israeli defences, destroying part of a large building in the city of Beersheba, southern Israel.
Videos of the attack show the explosive force of the blast as a ballistic missile slams into the city, with a loud boom being heard as dust fills the air and car alarms sound.
Emergency responders have found six injured people so far, with one said to be in a critical condition.
Minutes after thousands of Israeli residents were told they could leave bomb shelters across the north and centre of the country, the IDF warned them to return.
The Israeli military said it has detected a fresh wave of missiles from Iran, in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The IDF said in a warning: "The IDF identified that missiles were recently launched from Iran towards the territory of the State of Israel. The defense systems are working to intercept the threat."
In a rapid update to their previous alert, the IDF has warned that 'several areas' of Israel are being targeted by Iranian missiles.
Members of the public are being urged to obey instructions from their local emergency alert system.
They cautioned Israeli citizens that their defences are 'not hermetic', saying in a warning: "At this time, the Air Force is working to intercept and attack wherever necessary to eliminate the threat. The defense is not hermetic."
Iran has launched missiles at Israel in an alleged violation of the supposed ceasefire deal, according to claims made by the IDF.
Posting an urgent warning to residents on X, the Israeli military said: "The IDF identified that missiles were recently launched from Iran towards the territory of the State of Israel.
"The defense systems are working to intercept the threat."
In the hours after US President Trump announced a surprise ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran, an intense bombing campaign was carried out on targets in Tehran.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned there would be 'no agreement' unless Israel stopped its 'illegal aggression' by the time set in the deal, 4am local time.
Initial reports from the Associated Press indicate that there have been no further strikes after this deadline.
Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has become the first major official in the regime to confirm that they will end military hostilities at the time set by the ceasfire deal, though they denied any 'agreement.'
He said in a statement: "As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around.
"As of now, there is NO 'agreement' on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.
"The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later."
Intense explosions are continuing to be reported across Tehran, with the Israeli Air Force carrying out repeated bombing raids on targets in the northeast and centre of the city.
Officials in Israel's military have indicated that they are carrying out the strikes in anticipation of the ceasefire deal being agreed, according to the New York Times.
The publication also reported residents speaking in a live forum as the strikes take place around them. One said: “The Mehrabad airport nearby is being struck back to back. I can see the jets and hear them.”
While dozens of explosions were seen across Tehran, multiple US and Iraqi bases came under fire around Baghdad.
A drone attack saw a large explosion and fire rock the US-Iraqi Taji base north of Baghdad, with reports that radar equipment had been destroyed. There have also been alleged attacks at Camp Victory and the Al-Khalis base.
Local Iraqi media also reported explosions at Baghdad Airport, where the runway was made inoperable.
It remains unclear whether the continued Israeli strikes on Iran's capital are a continuation in the 12-day conflict, or the final explosive blasts of a deadly war.
The deal, which Iran's state media is not yet confirming to have been signed, is set to take effect in the next few hours, according to Trump's claims.
The US President said: "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.
"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.'"
Multiple explosions were seen across Tehran's capital in the hour after midnight, following yet more Israeli strikes on Iran's military officials and infrastructure.
Israeli media reported that one of the strikes on Ferdowsi Street was a 'targeted' assassination of a regime official. In its aftermath, civilians could be seen fleeing from the fire caused by the explosion.
The IDF's Farsi-speaking spokesperson warned people living in District 6 and 7: "The Israeli army will operate in these areas, as it has done in recent days throughout Iran to attack the Iranian regime's military infrastructure."
Over the past hour, reports have come in from Tehran of multiple explosions rocking the city, starting fires and sending smoke plumes into the night sky.
It remains unclear whether the US President's ceasefire will be implemented.
At the same time as Trump touted the deal to reporters, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei posted on X, cryptically stating that Iran 'isn't a nation that surrenders'.
Officials in the regime have also failed to confirm the deal.
Those who know the Iranian people and their history know that the Iranian nation isn\u2019t a nation that surrenders.
