Middle East conflict: Israel and Iran's fragile ceasefire, brokered by Trump and Qatar, faced immediate violations as Israel bombed a radar site near Tehran. The conflict, which started on June 13, has led to numerous casualties, yet both nations express cautious optimism for de-escalation.
Israel and Iran experienced a day of ceasefire violations as the fragile truce, reportedly brokered by US President Donald Trump and Qatar, came into effect on Tuesday, 24 June. The ceasefire potentially brought an end to a 12-day war in the Middle East, leading to a decrease in oil prices as the threat to the Strait of Hormuz eased.
Israel-Iran War: Quick Look Post Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump said Israel and Iran have both violated the ceasefire, but that he was “really unhappy” with Israel. He called on Israel to stop dropping bombs and to “bring your pilots home, now!”
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says he has ordered “intense strikes” on Tehran, accusing Iran of violating the truce brokered by the US and Qatar.
Iran denies the claim, and its top security body warns its forces stand ready to respond decisively to any Israeli violations.
Iran fired a salvo of missiles at a US military base in Qatar on Monday, in retaliation for the attacks on its nuclear sites a day earlier.
Iran says more than 400 people, including 13 children, have been killed and at least 3,056 others wounded since Israel launched its attack on June 13. In Israel, at least 28 people have been killed in Iranian strikes.
The truce, announced at 05:00 GMT, was meant to end a 12-day war between the two arch-rivals. However, eyewitness reports in Tehran confirmed two loud explosions shortly after the ceasefire was due to take effect.
Despite criticism, Israeli officials claimed the airstrike was a retaliation for Iranian missiles allegedly launched in breach of the truce. Notably, Iran has said that news about a missile attack by Iran on Israel after the ceasefire between the two countries took effect is “denied”
