Israel has claimed a “complete violation” of the ceasefire by Iran and has vowed to continue “intense activity of attacking Tehran.” This aggressive stance immediately after the truce declaration threatens to prolong the 12-day conflict.
Defense Minister Israel Katz stated he had instructed the military to “continue the intense activity of attacking Tehran to thwart regime targets and terrorist infrastructures in Tehran,” citing Iran’s alleged violation and missile launches towards Israel. This came after air raid sirens in northern Israel reported an Iranian missile launch.
The US President had announced the ceasefire on social media, aiming to halt the conflict. While both sides had publicly accepted the truce, the immediate resumption of hostilities and strong rhetoric from Israeli officials indicate the deep-seated nature of the conflict.
The conflict had been marked by intense exchanges of fire, with Israel carrying out heavy airstrikes on Tehran and Iran launching 20 missiles into Israeli territory, causing casualties. The current situation suggests a perilous continuation of hostilities, despite attempts at de-escalation.
