If you’re waking up in the UK to news of a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel conflict, here’s how things developed:

• Just after 23:00 BST yesterday, Donald Trump announced that Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire
• At 06:08 BST, Trump officially declared the ceasefire was in effect
• At about 07:10 BST, Israel said it had agreed to the US ceasefire proposal
• Iran stated it would stop attacking if Israel did the same last night
• Before the ceasefire took effect, both countries exchanged heavy fire overnight
• It’s still unclear how many have been killed or injured in Iran, but Tehran has had one of its worst nights, according to our reporter
• Israel says at least four people died and 22 were hurt in the southern town of Beersheba

More now from Israel's statement.

The Israeli government says it agreed to the ceasefire proposal after "achieving the objectives" of its attacks on Iran.

According to the statement, Israel has removed Iran's "dual immediate existential threat" from nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

It also says Israel has "inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets".

The statement goes on to say that Israeli forces, in the last day, have "severely struck government targets in the heart of Tehran, eliminating hundreds of Basij operatives" – a militia the Iranian government often uses to suppress protests – and "eliminating another senior nuclear scientist".

"Israel thanks President Trump and the United States for their support in defence and their participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat," the statement adds.

The Israeli government says it has agreed to Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal.

In a statement, it says: "Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire."

We’ll have more from the statement coming up soon.

I’ve received some WhatsApp voice notes from a Beersheba resident who was taking cover in a bomb shelter just five minutes from the building hit directly by an Iranian missile this morning.

Ilanit Liberman says she was woken by alerts just after 05:00 local time (03:00 BST).

She ran down three flights of stairs, “tired like a zombie”, and crossed the road to the shelter.

As dozens of people, including more than 20 children, were rushing in, “there was a massive boom – it was earth shattering and we all felt it.

"And then there was almost like a collective intake of breath. We knew straight away that there had been a direct hit nearby.”

She says everyone in the shelter felt “the shaking and the vibrations” of the missile, and “we all got a bit of a scare”.

When she heard people were killed in the attack, she felt lucky.

“It was close to home. We are shaken but we are ok.”

Iranian state media outlet SNN reports that Iran has fired "a last round of missiles" towards Israel before a ceasefire comes into effect.

As we've mentioned, Israel said they detected waves of missile strikes earlier, which killed at least four people.

Iran's state TV is also reporting that a ceasefire has been "imposed" on Israel after waves of Iranian attacks.

As a reminder, Israel has not publicly accepted the ceasefire proposal.

Magen David Adom, the Israeli ambulance service, has just given an update on the impact of Iran's strikes earlier.

They say four people have now been confirmed dead, with 22 wounded. Of those injured, two are in a moderate condition and 20 have minor injuries.

Donald Trump has just said in a post on Truth Social: "The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!"

As a reminder, Israel has not publicly accepted the ceasefire proposal. Iran state TV announced earlier that a ceasefire had been "imposed" on Israel.

We are still waiting to see whether Israel has agreed to a ceasefire, as President Donald Trump claims. Iran appears to have accepted, according to state television.

But the hard part for him comes after the ceasefire: keeping the nuclear weapon out of Iranian hands. The White House claimed that Iran's nuclear programme was completely destroyed. But no one will know for certain until Iran allows observers on the ground.

There are other unknowns too.

Had Iranians removed nuclear material and processing machines out of known sites before the American attack? Are there secret sites that were not destroyed by the strikes?

Americans now need a diplomatic deal with the Iranians that will ensure a complete, verifiable, and irreversible dismantling of Iran's nuclear program. The last time the US negotiated such deal with Iran, it took more than two years to sign the paper.

Trump tore up the agreement in 2018, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), arguing it was defective and could not prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb.

Trump's Truth Social post announcing the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was set to start "approximately 6 hours" from when he made the announcement earlier in the US night. That time has just passed.

"It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!)," Trump wrote at 18:00 local time in Washington. It is now just past midnight.

Israel has not however publicly accepted the ceasefire proposal. Iran state TV announced a short while ago that a ceasefire had been "imposed" on Israel.

Reporting from Jerusalem

As news spread of a possible ceasefire, people across Israel were woken early this morning to the sounds of missile alerts on phones, warning the public to head to shelters.

Multiple warnings were issued in quick succession, as missiles were launched at Israel from Iran.

Booms could be heard here in Jerusalem and colleagues elsewhere also reported hearing explosions. There was a direct hit in the southern town of Beersheba, with medics rushing to the scene.

As we have reported, the emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) says three deaths have been confirmed - a woman and man in their 40s and a man in his 20s. Sirens have since been sounding again in the north of Israel.

We've just received updates from the Israel Defense Forces, who say that Iran has launched several more missiles towards Israel.

The updates say that Israel's defensive systems are operating to intercept the missiles, and that the public must enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.

Some US Democrats have been reacting to Trump's claim of a ceasefire with mild praise.

"I give extremely high marks to this national security team and President Trump for managing this crisis," Brett McGurk, former President Joe Biden's Middle East coordinator, shared in an interview with CNN.

"But now let's follow through. There's a chance for diplomacy here," he added.

"I'm glad that President Trump isn't escalating further" Congresswoman Sara Jacobs wrote on X.

"But that doesn't change the fact that bombing Iran was reckless, unconstitutional, and hurts US credibility to negotiate a permanent, verifiable deal."

The third wave of Iranian strikes in quick succession come as Israel's fire and rescue service says three people have been killed in strikes in the country's south.

Israel's emergency services, Magen David Adom, described the scene: "We saw thick smoke rising from the impact site, and as we got closer, we saw extensive destruction to several buildings.

"Outside one of the buildings, we saw an unconscious man lying at the entrance. When we went inside to search the building, we found a man and a woman unconscious. We set up a triage point for the injured and are conducting medical checks on residents coming out of the buildings."

"Israelis are currently running to shelter due to another missile launch from Iran" the Israel Defence Forces have just shared in a post on X.

This marks the "third time in the last hour" that they are sheltering, the IDF said.

The statement also called Iran’s attack on the US base in Qatar as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' “successful” response to the US attacking three Iranian nuclear sites, while Qatar said all missiles were intercepted.

Iran state TV news channel IRINN says a ceasefire has been “imposed” on Israel following the “successful” Iranian attack on the US base in Qatar.

State TV said in a statement that Trump “begged” for a ceasefire following Iran’s attack. The statement was read aloud by the presenter.

The statement also hailed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Army and praised the “resistance” of Iranians.

Israel's emergency service, Magen David Adom, reports that three people are in critical condition following Iran's latest strikes, with more injured.

"Following the latest alarms. At the scene in the south of the country. So far, MDA medics and paramedics are providing medical treatment to 3 injured people in critical condition, a man about 40 years old, a woman about 30 years old and a young man about 20 years old with injuries, 1 moderate and 5 injured people in light condition."

Trump took a gamble by inserting the US into the worsening conflict between Israel and Iran, but it may have paid off - at least for now.

Trump announced on Tuesday evening that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire that he said could lead to a lasting peace.

While neither Israel nor Iran has definitively confirmed the development, White House officials are privately touting what they say is a diplomatic breakthrough.

And, if the American president has in fact ended what he labelled the "12 Day War", it would make for a significant step back from the brink of a conflict that seemed on the verge of engulfing the region, along with pulling America further in after US airstrikes hit Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.

"Provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement, "we have no intention to continue our response afterwards."

It may not be called a ceasefire, but as the 4 am deadline arrived in Tehran the Israeli attacks reportedly came to a halt. The two parties appear to be on the verge of turning down the heat.

Read the full analysis here.

US President Donald Trump says Israel and Iran approached him "almost simultaneously, and said, peace". At this point, "I knew the time was now" he wrote in a post on Truth social.

Referring to the ceasefire he declared, he continued: "The world and the Middle East are the real winners. Both nations will see tremendous love, peace and prosperity in their futures".

Neither Iran nor Israel have accepted the ceasefire publicly, though Iran signalled it would stop striking Israel if Israel stopped striking Iran.

Writing that the two countries "Have so much to gain, and yet, so much to lose if they stray from the road of righteousness and truth," he finished the post adding that Israel and Iran's futures are "unlimited and filled with great promise. God bless you both!"

Israel is reporting a fresh round of missiles has been fired from Iran.

The IDF says "defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat".
