Iran Denies Ceasefire Breach as Israel Accuses Tehran of Firing New Missiles

Iran’s military has denied launching missiles at Israel after the Trump-brokered ceasefire came into effect, state television reported Tuesday. 

The statement from Iran’s armed forces, which includes both the regular military and the Revolutionary Guard, rejected Israel’s claim of a post-ceasefire attack.

Israeli authorities reported missile fire approximately two and a half hours after the ceasefire began, with Defense Minister Israel Katz accusing Iran of "completely violating" the agreement. 

In response, Israel ordered fresh strikes on Iranian targets, though no immediate details on new attacks were released.

The ceasefire deal, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, was intended to halt 12 days of escalating conflict that began with Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13. 

The conflict quickly drew in the United States, leading to a series of missile and drone exchanges between Israel, Iran, and U.S. forces.

Despite growing concerns over the ceasefire’s fragility, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia have welcomed Trump’s announcement. Egypt called the deal “a critical point” toward restoring regional peace, while Saudi Arabia urged all parties to fully commit to de-escalation.

The situation remains tense as conflicting claims raise doubts over the ceasefire’s viability.
