Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel’s strikes on Iran have deterred the Islamic republic from launching further attacks, leading to a cessation of hostilities between the two adversaries, AFP reports.

“At this moment, the fire on that front is contained — after we struck the terror regime in Tehran, it stopped attacking us,” Netanyahu said in a televised statement.

He warned however that should Iran “make the mistake of resuming attacks against us, we will respond with full force”.
