Israel orders new strikes on Tehran, says Iran violates ceasefire

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz on Tuesday said he had ordered the military to strike Tehran in response to what he said were missiles fired by Iran in a violation of the ceasefire.

The directive followed an announcement by the Israeli military that it had activated sirens in northern Israel after detecting the launch of missiles from Iran.

“Two missiles were launched from Iran mid-morning on Tuesday, and they were intercepted,” a military official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Following the Israeli claims, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran has issued a statement on the “national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy and its vile supporters”.

Iran’s armed forces delivered a “humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy’s cruelty”, it said, adding that it culminated in the attack on the US base in Qatar last night and dawn missile strikes on Israel.
