U.S. Vice President JD Vance responded Monday to the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, brokered by President Donald Trump and revealed on his Truth Social platform, describing the resolution of the 12-day conflict as a major strategic shift in the region.
Speaking during an appearance on Fox News, Vance offered a blunt assessment of Iran’s military capabilities and the broader impact of the short but intense war.
“Iranians have shown through their terror networks, through their failed effort to build a nuclear weapon, that they are just not very good at war,” Vance said.

The Israel Airports Authority (IAA) on Tuesday began preparing to gradually resume full operations at Ben Gurion Airport following Israel’s confirmation of a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday morning. Despite the fact that Iran violated the ceasefire several hours after it was announced, Israeli airspace remained open, and planes near the airport were ordered to circle in the air until the incident was over. The IAA held a situational assessment on the resumption of operations on Tuesday with senior defense officials and the Israel Civil Aviation Authority.

Several hours after Israel confirmed a ceasefire with Iran, sirens blared in northern Israel, indicating an incoming missile attack. Iran launched at least one ballistic missile, which, b’chasdei Hashem, was successfully intercepted. There were no reports of injuries or impacts. Following the launch, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated that he ordered the IDF “to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire by launching intense attacks against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.” (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)

The Israeli government released an official statement on Monday morning announcing that all goals of Operation “Am K’Lavi” (“Like a Lion”) have been achieved — and far beyond. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu convened the Security Cabinet last night, along with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and Mossad Director David Barnea, to formally update them on the operation’s outcomes. “Israel has removed an immediate, dual existential threat — both from Iran’s nuclear program and its ballistic missile capabilities,” the statement read. The IDF reportedly achieved full air superiority over Tehran, dealt a major blow to Iran’s military leadership, and destroyed dozens of key government and regime targets.

Iran’s state-run media finally confirmed a cease-fire with Israel early Tuesday morning, several hours after President Trump had already declared that a deal was in place. The Israeli government did not immediately respond to the report, though it acknowledged that missile attacks from Iran were ongoing, with at least three fatalities confirmed.
President Trump announced the breakthrough following more than a week of intensifying rocket exchanges between the two nations. His statement came two days after U.S. forces carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets.
