Israel and Iran appeared to be honoring a ceasefire brokered by Donald Trump after the U.S. president lashed out at both sides for early breaches, while the U.N. nuclear watchdog urged a rapid resumption of inspections at Iranian atomic sites amid reports that an American bombing failed to completely destroy them.

Both warring Mideast nations said they’d honor the truce provided their enemy did likewise. There have been no reported attacks since the ones in the ceasefire’s early hours that enraged Trump. "DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS,” he wrote in a social media post directed at Israel in particular.

The president’s bid to end the 12-day conflict, which threatened to escalate into a wider regional war and upend energy markets, came just two days after he ordered U.S. forces to join the Israeli attack by bombing three key nuclear facilities. Trump said they had been "obliterated.” But satellite images don’t provide conclusive evidence that the most heavily protected underground sites were breached.
