Israel launches strikes on Tehran over alleged ceasefire breach

Tensions reignited Tuesday as Israel resumed strikes on Tehran, accusing Iran of violating a newly declared ceasefire—an allegation Iranian state media denies.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced on Tuesday that he had ordered the Israel Defense Forces to resume high-intensity operations in Tehran, following what Israel alleges was a missile attack by Iran in breach of the U.S.-mediated ceasefire.

Katz said the move came after missile launches were detected from Iranian territory, calling it a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. “In light of Iran’s violation of the ceasefire declared by President Trump—and in keeping with Israel’s policy to respond forcefully,” Katz said in a statement.

However, Iranian state television has denied these claims, saying no missile attack was launched on Israel after the ceasefire took effect, according to local media.

Despite this denial, the Israeli military confirmed it was actively intercepting what it said were missiles fired from Iran.
