Little is known about seemingly fragile ceasefire

BBC Reporting from Jerusalem
The terms of this ceasefire remain unclear, and its status remains seemingly fragile – if in place, for now.
After Donald Trump announced it, and both sides indicated they had agreed to it, Israel then accused Iran of violating it and said a missile was fired towards Israel. Iran denied this.
Israel’s defence minister said the country would respond with "intense activity" of striking what he described as "regime targets" in Iran. Iranian media said Israel launched strikes on its territory after the ceasefire.
Donald Trump responded furiously. He said he was not happy with either side but especially Israel, who he accused of "unloading" after the deal.
After a call with Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump reiterated a deal was now in place.
Nobody knows what the terms of it are, or if there are plans for further negotiations now. Leaders from both sides have said they will now respect it if the other does.
The next few hours, and days, will tell.
