Israel and Iran agreed to a cease-fire, Trump said
Early this morning, Iranian state television announced a cease-fire with Israel, hours after President Trump said the two countries had agreed to one. Israel had no immediate comment, but it said the Iranian military was continuing to launch missiles at it.
As of earlier this morning, Israeli missiles were still striking Iran. It’s not unusual for two adversaries to exchange fire in the early hours of a cease-fire before a total pause takes effect. Here’s the latest.
Late on Monday, Iran fired missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest American military installation in the Middle East, in retaliation for the recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities. But it gave advance notice of the attack, a sign that Iran was looking for an off-ramp from the confrontation.
Quotable: “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE,” Trump wrote on social media. He said it would not take place until both countries had “wound down” military missions still in progress, which he said would unfold in phases over a day.

The Supreme Court sided with Trump in a deportation case
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to deport migrants to countries other than their own, pausing a federal judge’s ruling that said they must first be allowed to make the case that they would face torture if sent to places with which they had no connection.
The court’s order gave no reasons and said the judge’s ruling would remain paused while the government pursues an appeal and, after that, until the court acts. The order potentially clears the way for the administration to send men held at an American military base in Djibouti to South Sudan.
Details: Because the court’s majority did not explain its reasoning, it was impossible to understand its thinking. The court’s three liberal members issued a lengthy dissent.

A food aid organization resumed work in Gaza
World Central Kitchen, the charity founded by the celebrity chef José Andrés, has started preparing meals again in the Gaza Strip, almost seven weeks after suspending operations there because of Israel’s near-shutdown of aid deliveries. Last year, the group halted its work for nearly a month after Israel struck a convoy and killed seven of its workers.
In a statement, the charity said that it cooked nearly 10,000 meals on Saturday, its first day of operations in Gaza in more than 12 weeks.
Diplomacy: The E.U. found that Israel’s actions in Gaza might have violated human rights obligations.

Since the 1980s, hundreds of millions of Chinese have walked a path to the middle class. But as economic growth slows, wages stagnate and jobs disappear, that path is eroding.
My colleague Li Yuan spoke to several people who told her that those from modest backgrounds, no matter how driven or well educated, often struggle to succeed in a system that favors more privileged people. As one man put it, employers think that if “you have to struggle, it means you’re not good enough.”
