Ceasefire between Iran and Israel

This Tuesday, Tel Aviv and Tehran announced a ceasefire amid the escalation of war between both nations, which began after Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iranian nuclear and military facilities on June 13. The Secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced in a statement "the imposition of a ceasefire", adding that the armed forces of the Persian nation "responded with exemplary valor, crushing every evil act of the enemy." At the same time, Iranian authorities described the results of their operation against Israel as "a victory that forced the rival to lament and accept defeat and unilaterally halt its offensive." From Tel Aviv they declared that they have accepted the proposal for a bilateral ceasefire "after achieving the objectives of the operation, and in full coordination" with the US President, Donald Trump. The confrontation between Iran and Israel has taken a more intense turn after the U.S. joined the military operation against the Persian nation last Saturday night, attacking three important nuclear facilities. In turn, the U.S. operation provoked an Iranian retaliatory attack on Monday on the largest military base that the North American country has in the Middle East
Several politicians and world leaders have condemned the actions of both Tel Aviv and Washington, calling them a "dangerous escalation" and a "criminal act." Russia, China, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, among other nations, joined the critical voices.
