Earlier Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, declaring an imminent end to what he termed "THE 12 DAY WAR."
Trump’s announcement follows an overnight missile attack by Iran on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which houses US troops.
The attack was intercepted by Qatari air defence.
The Iranian attack came as direct retaliation for recent US bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities, carried out in support of Israel’s war against Iran, which began on 13 June.
