What happened

Israel has suspended strikes against Iran but reserves the right to respond to any attacks from Tehran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Why it matters

"At the moment, we are holding our fire, because after we struck the terror regime in Tehran, it ceased attacking us.

Common ground

In the event that the terror regime in Iran makes the mistake of resuming attacks on us - we will respond with overwhelming force," he said in a televised address.
