Saudi media outlet Al Arabiya reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement Tuesday that Israel has reached a ceasefire agreement with Iran.
"After intensive diplomatic and security efforts, we are announcing a comprehensive ceasefire with Iran," Netanyahu was quoted as saying.
According to media reports, Iranian State TV said on Tuesday that Iran has ceased fire against Israel.
However, no official announcement from either side had been released as of Tuesday 04:00 GMT.
On Monday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump posted a surprising ceasefire announcement, in which he claimed that Israel and Iran had reached a formal agreement to implement a complete and total ceasefire, marking what he called the end of the "12-Day War."
But his announcement sparked confusion and skepticism, as hours after his post on the Truth Social platform saying "I would like to congratulate both countries on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called 'THE 12 DAY WAR,'" multiple blasts and air defense activities were reported across Tehran in the early hours of Tuesday.
Prior to the ceasefire being released via media, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that there's no "agreement on a ceasefire," but Tehran will halt attacks if Israel stops its "illegal aggression" by 4 a.m. local time (00:30 GMT), Al Jazeera reported.
In the meantime, the Israeli side has been reportedly reaching out to Iran on the ceasefire deal Tuesday, according to Yanir Cozin, an Israeli diplomatic correspondent at GLZ Radio, which is operated by the Israel Defense Forces.
According to Trump, Iran will initiate the ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later, culminating in an official declaration of the war's end at the 24-hour mark.
Israeli military on Tuesday has issued five warnings of missile attacks from Iran since Trump's ceasefire announcement.
On Monday night, Iran launched missile attacks targeting U.S. military installations in Iraq and Qatar, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed. Qatar's air defense systems intercepted multiple missiles over the capital Doha.

From cutting-edge technology exhibitions to retail stores thousands of kilometers away from Europe and Southeast Asia, China-made robot vacuum cleaners are increasingly becoming a popular choice among consumers worldwide.
At electronics retailers in Berlin, Germany, Chinese brands such as Roborock and Dreame occupy prominent positions in dedicated robot vacuum sections, offering a wide range of products priced between 200 and 2,000 euros.
Many local consumers said that when purchasing smart home appliances including robot vacuum cleaners, they tend to give priority to Chinese-made products.
"It's a good price and good quality. It's also the innovation. I have a feeling that the European brands are not innovating enough," said one customer.
"I think they're always on top of the other technologies. They are getting them out faster. A lot of us are switching to the Chinese technology," another consumer said.
Germany is one of the most important overseas markets for China's floor-cleaning robots.
According to data from market research firm GfK, from January to November 2025, more than six out of 10 robot vacuum cleaners sold in Western Europe were Chinese brands.
Industry data also point to a strong global momentum.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), global shipments of smart robot vacuum cleaners reached 17.424 million units in the first three quarters of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 18.7 percent.
Chinese brands including Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame, Xiaomi and Narwal ranked among the world's top five in terms of shipment volume, with a combined share of nearly 70 percent of the global market.
At a robot vacuum cleaner manufacturing plant in Huizhou, south China's Guangdong Province, workers were seen stepping up production of newly launched models that recently debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States, which concluded Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The factory adjusted its production lines as early as December 2025 and stocked inventory in advance for overseas markets to ensure that new products could be delivered to global consumers at the earliest possible time.
"In 2025, Roborock's global shipments exceeded 7.2 million units. Since 2024, overseas revenue has accounted for more than 50 percent of our total revenue. Our products have now been sold to more than 170 countries and regions, serving more than 20 million households worldwide," said Quan Gang, president of Roborock.
At another robot vacuum cleaner manufacturing facility in Dongguan, Guangdong, rising overseas orders have prompted the company to upgrade its production lines with intelligent technologies to further boost capacity. The factory is currently operating at full load to meet a growing demand.
"For 2026, we have already obtained overseas orders worth at least 300 million to 400 million yuan (around 43 million to 57.3 million U.S. dollars). In addition, we've engaged in strategic cooperation with European home appliance group Cebos Group, and our total confirmed orders have exceeded 600 million yuan (around 86 million U.S. dollars)," said Zhang Junbin, founder and CEO of Narwal Robotics.
