A ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Iran is in place.
US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire after over a week of missile attacks between Israel and Iran. The US also launched air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend.
At first, strikes continued between Israel and Iran after the ceasefire was announced, but now the agreement appears to be holding.
