71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says

The June 23 strike targeted the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran.

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both "violated" the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.

Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran's nuclear program back by months.

Iran won't violate ceasefire unless Israel does, Iranian president says

Iran won’t violate the ceasefire unless Israel does, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday, according to Iran’s state-run media.

Pezeshkian made the comments in a telephone conversation with the prime minister of Malaysia Tuesday, Tasnim, Iran’s semi-official news agency, reported.

When Israel "failed to achieve its objectives, the U.S. directly participated in anti-Iran crimes and, contrary to all international rules, attacked Iranian nuclear sites," Pezeshkian said, according to Tasnim.

The Iranian attack on Al Udeid Air Base, the U.S. military site in Qatar, was "one of the most distressing consequences," of Israel’s "military aggression" against Iran, Pezeshkian told UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Tuesday, IRNA, Iranian state-run media, reported.

Iran was compelled to respond to the "U.S. crimes" by attacking an American airbase in Qatar, Pezeshkian said. This does not mean Iran is in conflict with the Qatari government and people, he said, according to Tasnim.

House, Senate to receive classified briefings on Iran-Israel conflict Tuesday

The House and Senate will both receive separate classified briefings on the Iran-Israel conflict Tuesday afternoon.

The briefings are expected to include National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman John Caine, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, sources told ABC News.

Lawmakers, especially Democrats, will be looking for answers and evidence at the briefings from the administration, specifically why President Donald Trump said there was an imminent threat and carried out U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said late Monday he expects the House briefing to have a different "tone" in the light of the ceasefire. Though, the events overnight will likely raise even more questions from members of Congress.

Trump spoke with Netanyahu after ceasefire warning, sources say

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Tuesday morning following Trump's post on social media warning Israel not to resume attacks on Iran, multiple sources familiar with the phone call told ABC News.

Trump "was exceptionally firm and direct" with Netanyahu about what needed to happen to sustain the ceasefire, one White House source said. "The prime minister understood the severity of the situation and the concerns President Trump expressed."

Netanyahu's office said Israel refrained from further attacks, but "In response to Iran's violations, the Air Force destroyed a radar array near Tehran," which would explain the reports of explosions in Iran. Israel alleged that Iran launched a barrage of missiles shortly before the ceasefire went into effect.
