Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with his narrow security cabinet, a source familiar with the matter said.

The meeting includes:

The meeting comes after Netanyahu met with his broader security cabinet.

President Donald Trump spoke with the Emir of Qatar today and told him that the US was able to get Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Iran, said a source familiar with the matter.

Trump then asked Qatar to work on persuading Iran to also agree to a ceasefire, the source said. Vice President JD Vance then coordinated with the Qatari Prime Minister’s office on details.

After speaking with the Qatari Prime Minister the Iranians agreed to the ceasefire proposal, the source said.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Trump also spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to broker that side of the deal, a US official says, in a series of phone calls that Trump, Vance and others had today.

Approximately 250 US citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family members have departed Israel on US-facilitated flights, a State Department official said Monday.

There have been seven flights total since Saturday, the official said. Those flights have arrived in Greece, Italy and Cyprus.

“We are grateful to our partners in these countries for receiving these flights,” the official said.

A group of senior House Democrats plan to introduce their own version of a War Powers Resolution that would order President Donald Trump to end US involvement in Iran, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on House Intelligence Committee, is leading the push, alongside Rep. Greg Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.

The measure is expected to be more nuanced than the anti-interventionist resolution led by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and progressive Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna, which does not allow the US to defend its own interests or those of US allies.

Massie, Khanna and other co-sponsors have been fiercely opposed to any US action in Iran.

House Speaker Mike Johnson speaks to media inside the Capitol on Monday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson reacted to President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran by praising the president’s leadership, saying that “this is what peace through strength looks like.”

Calling it “a really, really big day,” and “historic,” Johnson also said that calls from other lawmakers for a War Powers resolution potentially limiting the president’s authority to issue further strikes on Iran was “kind of a moot point now, isn’t it?”

And Johnson said that he expected to be briefed on the developments tomorrow, saying that a briefing had already been planned but “it’ll be a little different in its in its tone I suspect now.”

US and Qatari Patriot air defense batteries intercepted Iranian missiles on Monday, US Central Command said in a statement.

US Vice President JD Vance speaks in Huger, South Carolina, on May 1.

US Vice President JD Vance sidestepped when asked if the Trump administration knows where Iran’s highly enriched uranium is located during an interview on Fox News.

President Donald Trump has said US strikes on Saturday “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities. Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said Sunday morning that it was “way too early” to comment on whether Iran still retains some nuclear capabilities.

Vance said the location of the uranium wasn’t the important question, adding: “Our goal was to bury the uranium, and I do think the uranium is buried.”

CNN has reported that early assessments raise questions over whether the US destroyed the bulk of the country’s enriched nuclear material with the weekend strikes.

“If they, in fact, moved the 60% highly enriched uranium, the big concern, and this is, again, what we destroyed, is their ability to enrich uranium, if they have 60% enriched uranium, but they don’t have the ability to enrich it to 90% and further, they don’t have the ability to convert that to a nuclear weapon,” he continued.

Touting the American strikes on Iran as a success, Trump has said numerous times that the key nuclear sites were completely “obliterated,” however, the US appears to have held back its most powerful bombs against one of the three facilities included in the operation, raising questions about whether it finished the job.

Israel’s military has issued new evacuation warnings for Tehran, telling residents in the neighborhoods of Mehran and District 6 that it will carry out operations there.

Earlier, the military had issued evacuation warnings for District 7.

National security analyst Peter Bergen details why Iran’s strike against a US airbase in Qatar was “a gamble” considering the relationship between the two countries.

President Donald Trump is seen in The Situation Room on June 21.

President Donald Trump announced what he called “a Complete and Total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran in a post on social media Monday evening, which he hopes will become permanent. The ceasefire is set to start in approximately six hours, the president said.

Neither Iran nor Israel has made any comments about a pending ceasefire. The ceasefire will be phased in during the next 24 hours, according to the president’s post.

“Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” the president wrote.

In an interview on Fox News that began moments after the president’s announcement, Vice President JD Vance praised Trump for getting the deal “across the finish line.”

“We were actually working on that just as I left the White House to come over here. So that’s good news, that the president was able to get that across the finish line,” Vance said.

Vance also said that he read a draft of Trump’s post “two minutes before we went on the air” and that it was “a little bit different from what the president had showed me a couple of hours ago. But again, I knew that he was working the phones as I was on the way over here.”

“Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have, because we destroyed it,” Vance added.

CNN has reached out to the White House for additional information on the ceasefire.

Iran is warning people in the Ramat Gan suburb of Tel Aviv to evacuate, according to the semi-official Mehr News Agency.

“Iran warns Israeli settlers to urgently evacuate the Ramat Gan region,” Mehr posted.

The warning came shortly after Israel’s military issued an evacuation warning for a district of Tehran.

Iran has not received any ceasefire proposal and sees no reason for one, a senior Iranian official told CNN.

The official said Iran would continue to fight until it achieves lasting peace and that it would view remarks from Israel and the US as “a deception” intended to justify attacks on Iran’s interests.

“At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies,” the official said.

Israel’s military has issued an evacuation warning for people in District 7 of Tehran.

“The IDF is continuing to operate in the area, as it has in recent days across Iran, targeting the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure,” the Israeli military said in a statement posted on X in Farsi. It called on citizens to “immediately” evacuate an area it marked on a map shared in the post.

Qatar’s airspace has reopened after it was shut down due to Iran’s missile attack on a US air base, the country’s civil aviation authority announced.

FBI Director Kash Patel listens during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing in Washington, DC, on May 8.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that the FBI’s focus is “on protecting the homeland,” following the US attacks on Iran.

Patel also said the FBI would continue executing the administration’s priorities, including on immigration, a topic that took up the majority of the discussion during Monday’s event.

The director stressed the need for local police to provide intelligence: “You got to let us know what you need and what’s going on. There is no better ground-level intelligence than cops. None. Zero.”

During the event, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also told the group of local law enforcement officials the Justice Department has “unleashed” assistant US attorneys to “almost exclusively” focus on immigration.

Following Iran’s attack toward a US base Qatar, CNN’s Fred Pleitgen reports from Tehran an increase in anti-aircraft fire in the skies over Iran’s capital city. Qatar’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses “successfully” intercepted the missile attack targeting the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. No deaths or injuries have been reported.

Qatar intercepted all Iranian missiles that targeted the US-run Al Udeid Air Base on Monday except for one, which fell in an area that caused no casualties, according to Shayeq bin Misfir Al Hajri, Qatar’s deputy chief of staff for joint operations.

Around 7:30 p.m. local time, seven missiles were launched from Iran toward the air base, and all of them were shot down in the sea before entering Qatar’s territory, he said at a news conference.

“There were no losses there. All the missiles that were launched, thanks to God, by our available systems, were all shot down except for one missile, as I mentioned, which fell in the Al Udeid Air Base,” he added.

Al Hajri explained that “after the United States participated in bombing nuclear reactors in Iran, and Iran threatened military bases in the region where American forces are present, the armed forces activated all its plans to secure its airspace, territorial waters and economic zone.”

The US Embassy in Sweden warned Americans to “exercise increased caution” after media reports that “Iran may be pressuring local criminal gangs, including the Foxtrot Network, to carry out attacks in Sweden against U.S. and Israeli interests.”

A security alert Monday, following the US military strikes on Iran, advised US citizens to be particularly aware of their surroundings if they near the US embassy in Stockholm.

What is the Foxtrot Network: In March, the US government sanctioned the Sweden-based Foxtrot Network, which is described as a transnational criminal and drug trafficking organization.

Iranian nuclear sites “can’t be destroyed with one attack and a few explosions,” said Brig. Gen. Ebrahim Jabbari, adviser to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the state-aligned Tasnim news agency Monday.

US President Donald Trump promised he would finish the job in Iran and “get involved. So, what happened? You targeted commanders, but operational commanders emerged,” Jabbari told Tasnim.

“You (Trump) said you have a drone and micro-drone division, but you didn’t succeed. You said a split would form among the Iranian people, but it didn’t. Instead, unity was created in Iran!” he added.

The IRGC is an elite wing of the Iranian military and was established in the aftermath of the country’s revolution in 1979.

In 2019, the United States put the Revolutionary Guards on its list of terrorist groups.

Iran has taken a step closer to suspending cooperation with United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, state media IRNA reported Monday.

Earlier in the day, the Iranian parliament’s national security committee approved the outline of a bill that would do just that.

Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a post on X:

Committee spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei said that the “general framework” was approved by the commission members, according to IRNA.

The bill will need to pass two additional hurdles before coming into law. First, it will have to be passed by parliament. Then, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will have to approve it.

Israeli officials are signaling that military operations in Iran could soon wind down.

Israel believes it can achieve its remaining military objectives in Iran in the coming days, which could tee up a ceasefire, an Israeli official told CNN. Strikes on the bank of targets that intelligence services gathered are close to completion, the official said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel is “very, very close to completing” its military objectives in Iran and made clear he does not want Israel to be dragged into a war of attrition with Iran.

Iraq’s foreign ministry has warned tensions in the region have reached “a dangerous and unprecedented turning point” and called for a return to dialogue, following Iran’s attack on an air base in Qatar.

Its statement made no mention of whether missiles had also been fired toward Iraq.

Kuwait and Bahrain have reopened their airspaces after temporarily closing them off due to Iran’s attack on an air base in Qatar, according to their official news agencies.

In the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai Airports authority said it has resumed operations at its airports but noted that some flights could experience delays or cancelations.

“NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done” in the Iranian missile attack, Trump added.

In a second post on Truth Social, Trump thanked the Emir of Qatar for “all that he has done in seeking Peace for the Region.” In a third, the president wrote: “CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT’S TIME FOR PEACE!”

French President Emmanuel Macron delivers a speech at the Paris Space Hub stand during a visit to the 55th edition of the International Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, north of Paris, on June 20.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a de-escalation from all sides after Iran attacked a US base in Qatar on Monday, saying that the “spiral of chaos” must end.

“I call on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint, de-escalate and return to the negotiating table. The spiral of chaos must end,” he said on X.

The French president expressed solidarity with Qatar in the wake of the strikes and said that he was in “close contact” with Qatari officials and regional partners.

Earlier Monday, Macron took a swipe at US President Donald Trump’s operation over the weekend, saying that there was “no legal framework” for the United States to strike three Iranian nuclear bases.

Israel carried out its most “extensive” wave of strikes in Tehran to date, Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin said Monday.

Fifty Israeli aircraft and 100 munitions hit Iranian military positions and Iran’s internal security infrastructure, the spokesperson said.

Defrin — who was speaking before Iran launched an attack on a US base in Qatar — also said the Israeli military is intensifying its strikes against Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers and deepening their strikes.

Defrin said Israel is ready to deepen strikes in Tehran and “elsewhere” and that Israel still has an “extensive target bank.”

When asked if Israel would help the Gulf states should Iran respond to the US attacks over the weekend, Defrin said Israel was in contact with partners across the Middle East and beyond.

House Speaker Mike Johnson in Washington, DC, on June 4.

House Speaker Mike Johnson defended President Donald Trump’s decision to order strikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend and threw cold water on Congress taking action to limit his war powers.

It comes as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle react to the US strikes and a debate on Capitol Hill intensifies over the limits of the president’s authority.

The House and Senate both have previously scheduled briefings on Iran set for Tuesday afternoon.

Here’s what some are saying:

This still from video from Press TV, an Iranian state-owned news media organization owned by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), shows missiles being launched purportedly towards a US-run airbase in Qatar.

Iran launched multiple missiles toward US bases in Qatar Monday after the US struck Iran’s nuclear sites over the weekend.

Qatar’s air defenses intercepted the missile attack, and there have been no reports of injuries. Still, Qatar condemned Iran’s attack on the Al Udeid Air Base, calling it “a flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and airspace.”

If you’re just reading in now, here’s what else we know about the attack:

The FBI is in the process of temporarily scaling back the number of agents it has assigned to assist with the Trump administration’s nationwide immigration enforcement efforts, sources tell CNN.

What the sources are saying: While the actual number of agents shifted is still to be determined, the move is being made to ensure agents are adequately focusing on any potential threats to the homeland that may result from the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, while also allowing agents to focus on other priority issues that received less attention after the FBI’s immigration surge.

Sources stressed there is currently no known specific and credible threat, but agents must be available to fully staff the bureau’s counterterrorism mission due to global hostilities.

While some FBI agents will continue to support the administration’s immigration enforcement mission, some field offices could see a drastic reduction in the number of agents they have assigned daily to immigration efforts.

Sources said the move is being considered temporary as national security officials continue to assess any potential threat from Iran and its proxies, and a return of more agents to the immigration could occur if the current threat landscape changes.

The FBI declined to comment.
