Israel has accused Iran of breaking a cease-fire announced by US President Donald Trump earlier Tuesday to end up to the 12-day war.
Hours after Trump’s statement of a truce, Israel detected rocket launches. The Minister of Defense dedicated the army to “react strongly to the violation of ceases -the fires by Iran with powerful strikes against regime goals in the heart of Tehran.”
Iran still has to publicly confirm that it agreed to ceases -the fire.
“It is striking -the fire is now in force,” said Trump around 9:10 am Dubai Time on Truth Social. “Please don’t violate it!”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had confirmed that Israel agreed with a truce and said that his country achieved his war goals in Iran.
The comments came after Tehran fired several waves of missiles on Israel on Tuesday morning. Israel also attacked Iran.
The ceasefire followed an extraordinary night in which Tehran took revenge on an American attack during the weekend by launching rockets at an American airbase in Qatar. The movement of the Islamic Republic was telegraphy – with Qatar and the US were warned – and there were no victims.
Trump said that the strike in Qatar was ‘weak’ and that Iran ‘had taken it out of their system’. He even thanked Tehran for ‘canceling us early’.
Oil prices fell when it became clear that the strikes on Qatar were not deadly, where traders considered it a sign that Iran was not going to escalate tensions with Washington, let alone to flood other countries in the oil -rich region in a wider war.
Brent fell more than 3 percent to around $ 69.15 per barrel in early trade on Tuesday, after a decrease of more than 7 percent on Monday. It is now back to the level it was before Israel started attacking Iran on June 13.
Israel was still showing up in Iran on Tuesday, but the explosions in Tehran seemed to stop about 4 hours of local time, the BBC reported, referring to local residents.
While Israeli officials are silent at night, a senior official of the White House said that Trump ceases -the fires mediated in a direct conversation with Netanyahu on Monday. Vice -President JD Vance, State Secretary Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff held directly and indirect conversations with the Iranians about the proposal, the official said.
Israel agreed to the truce as long as Iran did not make any further attacks, and the Iranian government indicated that it would comply with those conditions, according to the civil servant.
“For now I think this will hold on, and I think you will put an end to the war,” said Dennis Ross, who was the envoy of President Bill Clinton to the region and is now a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “Iran is not interested in resuming anything soon.”
The developments came about two days after the US suddenly entered the conflict directly by bombing important Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Trump said the strikes “completely and completely erased” the sites, although the assessments of the battle damage continue and the place of residence of the enriched uranium stocks of Iran is unknown.
Trump had warned Iran on Saturday on Saturday that if a peace agreement was not reached quickly after the strikes that the US would go with other goals in Iran with ‘precision, speed and skill’.
Tehran promised to respond to the unprecedented American attack. But opted for a predominantly symbolic reaction: shooting rockets on the Al Udeid -based in Qatar, in which the center -Oost headquarters for US Central Command is the organization that supervises the US Army in the region.
The US has around 9,000 service members in Qatar and 50,000 in the middle east.
Qatar said the Iranian rocket farmer was intercepted and the basis had been evacuated in advance.
Iran’s move on Monday seemed to be “a largely symbolic retribution”, said Ziad Daoud, the Chief Emerging-Market economist of Bloomberg Economics. “There was a lot of warning-Qatar closed its airspace and the US gave warnings to citizens” in the gas-rich country.
While the Iranian state said TV that the rocket of the rocket “a striking -fires forced the enemy,” some Iranian officials also suggested that the move had a performance element. The number of dismissed missiles corresponded to the number of bombs used by the US against the nuclear locations.
Iran quickly said that Qatar, that has strong relations with both Tehran and Washington, was a ‘friendly and fraternity country’.
A diplomat informed of the conversations said that Trump had spoken with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad and inquired that the USA led Israel to agree to a ceasefires. Trump asked the Qatari leader to convince Iran to do the same. Iran later agreed, according to the diplomat, who asked for not being identified about discussing private conversations.
Trump went so far that a peace agreement between Israel and Iran would be long, despite decades of enmity between them.
“I think it is striking -the fires is unlimited -it is going to go forever,” Trump said, adding that he sees the war as fully finished and does not believe that Israel and Iran “will ever shoot together again.”
There are many questions about, including the state of the uranium stocks of Iran and whether a cease -the fires will lead to discussions about the nuclear program of Tehran. The Islamic Republic, who has denied that it is looking for an atomic weapon, has refused to give the right to enrich uranium, a condition that the US has insisted on.
Iran says that the uranium must process, at least the low level that is needed for civil purposes, such as feeding nuclear power plants. Yet the West and Arab states are on their guard because it is enriched uranium almost to the levels needed to build a bomb without explaining why.
Israel said that his war was against Iran to prevent the country from acquiring atomic weapons, a risk that Trump is also cited to justify American involvement. The government of Netanyahu has also said that it wants to destroy Iran’s stocks of ballistic rockets and the launch locations.
Although Israel has denied that it is trying to overthrow the theocratic government of the highest leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the officials said that the attacks could cause such a situation. For now there is little sign that will happen.
Speaking with Fox News after Trump had announced it -the fire, the American vice -president Vance said that the American bombing had achieved its objectives during the weekend.
“We know they can’t build a nuclear weapon,” Vance said, adding that the existing stock of Iran of strongly enriched uranium was “buried” by the attack. International monitors have said that they do not know where that material is after Iran said earlier this month that it would move it.
“If Iran is desperate to build a nuclear weapon in the future, then they have to deal with a very, very powerful American army,” Vance said.
