Israel began an air campaign attacking Iran's nuclear and military capabilities on 12 June 2025, to which Iran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes (NPR, AP). Whether the ceasefire (i.e., a cessation of all hostilities) is unilateral or part of an agreement between belligerents is immaterial, and whether the ceasefire holds for its intended duration is immaterial. Conditional announcements (e.g., if all hostages are released) will not count. Iran includes the internationally recognized territory, airspace, and territorial waters of the country. The ceasefire need not include putative Iranian forces outside of the internationally recognized territory, airspace, or territorial waters of Iran to count.
