**Iran denies missile attacks as Israel threatens military response after ceasefire brokered by Trump.**
In a rapidly evolving situation, Israel has accused Iran of breaching a ceasefire agreement just hours after it was brokered by former President Donald Trump and Qatar. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the military would take "forceful" measures against any Iranian aggression, claiming missile strikes had been launched towards Israeli territory.
The ceasefire took effect around 05:00 GMT on Tuesday, following Trump's announcement on his Truth Social platform urging both nations to adhere to the truce. The Israeli government confirmed its acceptance of the ceasefire proposal shortly after 06:00 GMT, coinciding with Iran's signals that it would cease attacks if Israel followed suit. However, the optimism was short-lived, as allegations of Iranian missile strikes surfaced just hours after the agreement was in place.
Initially, Trump heralded the ceasefire as an end to what he termed "the 12-day war" following an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Qatar, identified by Iran as retaliation against American airstrikes targeting its nuclear facilities over the weekend. Just after the ceasefire was announced, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported identifying missile launches attributed to Iran, prompting Katz to label these actions a "complete violation" of the ceasefire terms. He ordered the military to maintain pressure on Iranian regime targets and associated terrorist infrastructures.
Iran, for its part, has strongly denied launching any missiles post-ceasefire, with Abdolrahim Mousavi, head of Iran's armed forces, calling the allegations unfounded. The Supreme National Security Council of Iran warned that any further Israeli strikes would provoke a decisive and immediate response.
Prior to the ceasefire, heavy exchanges of fire were reported between Iran and Israel, contributing to casualties including four fatalities and 22 injuries in Beersheba due to an Israeli barrage. Iranian state media indicated that several missiles were fired at Israel before the truce commenced, while clashes in Tehran were described as some of the most intense since the outbreak of hostilities on June 13.
As the two nations brace for the consequences of this volatile situation, ongoing monitoring and updates are crucial. For real-time news and detailed coverage, viewers can explore our interactive platforms and immersive reporting environments.
