The White House is hoping the ceasefire between Iran and Israel holds with President Donald Trump now seeking peace.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the U.S. attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities "will go down in the history books" as an "overwhelming success."
Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza are still struggling for aid as humanitarian trucks are allowed into the north for the first time in months.
A family in downtown Tehran are busy retrieving belongings from their home after it was severely damaged during an Israeli strike.
The family said shockwaves from a blast shattered windows and turned walls into rubble after Israel carried out a strike against a nearby building.
This man said his whole life turned into dust, but he said the main thing is that his kids are alive.
With the ceasefire between Israel and Iran holding, the White House hopes it can continue.
"Right now, we're on a diplomatic path with Iran," said Leavitt. "The president and his team, namely Special Envoy (Steve) Witkoff continue to be in communication with the Iranians. And especially our Gulf and Arab partners in the region, to come to an agreement with Iran."
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei said in a rare public statement that Iran will never surrender and they had hand slapped the U.S. with their missile attack on an American base in Qatar.
Added Leavitt: "Look, we saw the Ayatollah's video. And, when you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful. And it's what led to the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, which the president is very grateful for."
Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza continue to risk their lives as they seek aid from U.S.-run distribution sites.
Displaced Palestinians say they have been receiving food leftovers or nothing at all to feed their families amid ongoing severe shortages.
Several hundred aid-seekers have been killed after being shot at as they approached distribution centres.
Earlier, people cheered as a convoy of trucks carrying aid marked with the United Arab Emirates Red Crescent and UAE Aid logos made its way into Gaza City for the first time in months.
Clans in northern Gaza helped in the distribution, vowing to keep aid away from thieves who force people to buy food at high prices.
