Israel has accused Iran of launching missiles after a ceasefire agreement brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump and Qatar came into effect.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), missile launches from Iran were detected approximately 2.5 hours after the ceasefire began, with at least one missile intercepted by Israeli air defenses.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered “intense strikes” on Tehran, targeting regime assets and terror infrastructure, in response to what Israel called a “blatant violation” of the truce.
A missile strike in Beersheba, Israel, killed four people and damaged residential buildings.
Iran denied launching any missiles after the ceasefire took effect at 7:30 AM Tehran time, with the Iranian armed forces’ general staff stating no missiles were fired in the “last few hours.”
Iranian state media claimed the ceasefire was imposed on Israel following Iran’s missile operations.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council warned of a decisive, firm, and timely response to any further aggression.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated there was no formal ceasefire agreement but that Iran would halt attacks if Israel stopped its strikes by 4 AM Tehran time.
