Good morning, everybody.
I'm Audie Cornish.
I want to thank you for waking up with me.
And we are now just hours into an announced ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
How is it holding?
Well, President Trump touted the deal on social media,
writing around midnight Eastern time, quote, The ceasefire is now in effect.
Please do not violate it.
Just a few hours later, however, Israel accused Iran of doing just that,
with reports of Iranian missiles flying towards northern Israel.
The IDF says two of them were intercepted after the ceasefire deadline.
Israel's defense minister says his country will,
quote, respond with force to Iran's utter violation.
Iran denies they violated the deal.
And just before the ceasefire went into effect,
another of Iran's missile attacks killed at least four people in southern Israel.
Israel had issued alerts for six total waves of Iranian attacks in the past several hours of fighting.
Its strikes against Tehran also continued until moments before the deadline.
