How a volatile 24 hours edged the Middle East closer to peace

Since June 13, Israel has caused widespread damage to the Iranian military infrastructure, and Iranian missiles have penetrated Israeli defense regulations and the United States had strikes against Bran’s nuclear program.

After that, over 24 hours, starting on Monday, the events moved faster: an American air base was attacked, and the White House mediated the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and this deal was close to collapse.

This is how it reveals that turbulent day.

The first signs were that the conflict that controls the Middle East is about to spread to the Gulf was a calm warning for American citizens in Qatar.

The “shelter in its place” was a recommendation from the United States government – with reassurance that this was “an abundance of caution.”

The UK has issued similar advice shortly after.

It was always possible for Iran to retreat to America in Qatar. The country is home to the friendly military base, and it is a sprawling installation outside the capital, Doha, which includes thousands of forces, where US air operations are coordinated in the Middle East.

The leaders in Tehran threatened revenge due to unprecedented American strikes during the weekend against three nuclear facilities in Iran, including the valuable Fordo fertilization site, buried in the depths of the mountain.

One of the warehouse, which was said to have been carrying shelter since Israel launched its military operation against Iran, the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued an order: retreating from the United States in one of its most important origins in the region.

His government announced that the airspace over Qatar is closed.

Doha air traffic controllers began to return passenger planes, and flights associated with one of the most busy airports in the world began to land elsewhere in the Gulf.

BBC then learned of a “reliable threat” from an Iranian missile attack against the friendly air base.

American officials, whose name did not reveal the American media that missile launchers were seen in the direction of Qatar.

US Defense Minister Beit Higseth and his most prominent general went to the White House to monitor the situation.

Within an hour, the explosions were heard on Doha and the sky over the luxurious skyscrapers that were reinforced with tracks behind air defense missiles while chasing Iranian weapons in the air.

The state -controlled media She started reporting her revenge was ongoing. Soon after, the Iranian revolutionary guards confirmed the same.

“The American bases in the region are not strengths but weaknesses,” she said, but the attack has ended shortly after.

Qatar’s reaction was to the United States. Although the goal was the American rule on its soil, its sovereignty violated the “shameful aggression”, as stated in an angry government statement.

But decisively, he confirmed that the missiles had been intercepted. The base was evacuated before the attack began and no one was killed.

Almost at the same time, an explanatory drawing of infections appeared at the expense of the Upper Leader X, depicting the missiles around an American military base with the burning of the torn American flag.

However, instead of expressing any destruction, he wrote: “We did not harm anyone.”

It seems that the United States and Qatar have known the planned Iranian attack in advance.

For external analysts, it seemed as if it was designed to allow Iranian leaders to save the face, but avoid escalation.

They could tell their fans that they criticized the Americans – but they did so without harming the type of loss that would risk pulling it into a direct war against a much stronger opponent.

The cancellation of the escalation was on the horizon – and the world waited for the President of the United States to log in to social media.

“weak.” “expected.” “Effectively confrontation.”

This is how Donald Trump described Iran’s attack – but as his message continued, the tone was more suitable.

The President thanked Iran for “giving us an early notice” and said they “got everything from their” regime. “

He continued: “Perhaps Iran can now be peace and harmony in the region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same.”

Two hours ago, Iran attacked an American air base. Two days ago, Trump ordered unprecedented strikes against Iran, a country that he considered evil and deadly danger to the world in the past.

Now his leaders were presenting the olive branch.

The conclusion of a series of posts that sent observers to Tailspin, wrote: “Congratulations to the world, it’s time for peace!”

It has since appeared that the frantic talks were underway behind the scenes that involve the United States, Iran, Israel and Qatar.

Donald Trump spoke directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a close ally whose war on Iran joined the main period. The call was made separately, but the message was clear: It is time to end the fighting.

Meanwhile, Trump’s deputy JD Vance and international negotiator Steve Witkeov were directly communicating with the Iranians and through diplomatic background channels.

From Washington, the Trump team was trying to gather the American president in a hurry in something else above all by the American president, but it has proven far -fly in the Middle East: a deal.

Reports on the success and denial began to rotate – but slowly and certainly, the momentum seemed to be built with reports on progress.

Then, after 11:00 GMT, the president moved to social media again. His message started: “Congratulations to everyone.”

The president wrote that the full and complete ceasefire was agreed between Iran and Israel. There will be a permissible period for “progress, final tasks”, and will enter into force after six hours.

Trump wrote that the conflict should be known from now on the name “12 War”.

Six thousand miles in the Middle East, it was another day.

Throughout Israel, the sirens began to sound and ordered people to shelters: The Israeli Defense Forces warned.

For a period of less than 60 minutes, Israel said that Iran had launched three waves of missiles. The Israeli army said that several others had followed with the morning.

In Beersheba, there was a direct blow to a multi -storey residential building. Four people – at least three of them were hidden in a safe room – when a missile was torn.

Israeli Prime Minister accused Iran of deploying one of the largest missiles in its arsenal against homes.

At the same time, the Iranian media reported that it had been severely strikes by Israel overnight, killing nine in the town of his Ethna Yi Ashrah. Mohamed Reda Sidiki Sabri, a nuclear scientist, was among them.

The deputy governor of the region said that four apartments “were completely destroyed, and that many of the surrounding houses were damaged by the explosion.” The photos from the scene showed the debris spread across a street surrounded by homes.

Iran accused Israel of shooting at the “last round of missiles” to overcome the deadline for the ceasefire.

The Israeli army later confirmed that it had conducted operations overnight, while the Iraqi government has claimed bases on its soil. Armed militias support Iran in Iraq, but it is not clear what has been targeted.

What was clear was that the fighting was continuing until the last minute.

Trump announced the beginning of the ceasefire at a post on a social media, he writes: “The shooting now is now. Please do not violate it!”

Soon after, the Israeli government officially accepted the ceasefire arrangements.

A statement said that Israel achieved its war targets of eliminating the capabilities of Iranian nuclear and ballistic missiles, and it has taken its place between the “global powers” as a result.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had already indicated overnight that Tehran was open to the ceasefire of Trump. He said that if Israel stopped its attacks before 04:00 local time, “we have no intention to continue our response after that.”

But it wouldn’t take a long time until it seemed as if the ceasefire was in danger.

The Israeli army said the air defenses were activated when a missile was fired from Iran.

Iran issued a denial, but the Minister of Defense in Israel said that he ordered “severe strikes against the goals of the regime in the heart of Tehran,” while Bezalil Sotrich – a right -wing governmental government minister:

It seemed that he believed that the Trump deal that was rapidly assembled may collapse two hours after it entered into force.

With Israeli aircraft on its way to the Iranian capital, Trump again published: “These bombs do not fall. If you do it, it is a big violation. Bring your pilots home, now!”

With the outbreak of the morning in Washington, DC, the American president climbed to the White House park, where a helicopter was waiting for him to take to the NATO summit.

Reporters were also waiting for, and they were eager to hear what he said after an amazing night of ads, demands and denial.

Trump told them that both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire – but he insisted that the deal was still in place.

In reference to the Israeli aircraft that urged Netanyahu to return, he said: “There was one [Iranian] The missile that I think was launched at sea after the time limit and now Israel is coming out. These are men [have] You must calm down. “

Trump said the Iranian missile fired “perhaps by mistake” and “did not land.”

The president looked angry. He said that he was “unhappy with Israel” to launch strikes “that I have not seen before” as was agreed on the deal.

“I am not happy with Iran,” he added.

While Trump turned to move away, he vent his frustration with Israel and Iran, using an obscene word as he said they were so long that they did not know what to do.

The helicopter took him to a military base in Maryland, where he was on the first air force and flies to the Netherlands for the summit.

Once he came to the air, Netanyahu called a conversation that appears to be tense.

A White House source told CBS News, the American partner in the BBC, that the president is “exceptionally and directly” with the Israeli Prime Minister. Netanyahu “understanding the severity of the situation and the concerns that President Trump expressed.”

According to Trump, Trump assured reporters on board that he had told Netanyahu the return of the military plane, which he indicated was about to attack Iran.

As for the leaders in Tehran, Trump said that the development of a nuclear weapon would be “the last thing” in their minds.
