Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bombing campaign aimed to end the threats from Tehran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles. He did not give a timetable for stopping the strikes.

The Israeli prime minister said in a statement that his country had "removed itself from an immediate existential double threat."

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, after more than a week of fighting following Israel's strikes -- and subsequent U.S. attacks -- on Iran's nuclear program.
