“Despite the ceasefire being in effect, the situation on the ground is still very fragile,” Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi reports from Tehran.

“According to the latest post on social media by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Tehran has not agreed so far to a ceasefire. There’s actually no official announcement of an agreement on the Iranian side. So we are still waiting for confirmation on that.

“Over the last few hours, we have not heard of the continuation of any Israeli strikes in Tehran, which is a promising indication about the prospect of the ceasefire as declared by US President Donald Trump,” Asadi adds.

“Iranians are also saying that if they see a new volley of attacks against the country that they will also strike back.”
