Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by US president Donald Trump to end their 12-day war, after Tehran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar.

The acceptance of the deal by both sides came after Tehran launched a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel that killed at least four people early on Tuesday morning, while Israel launched a blitz of airstrikes targeting sites across Iran before dawn.
