Iran Denies Violating Ceasefire Deal as Tensions With Israel Escalate
Tensions remain high in the Middle East as Iran has denied violating a newly announced ceasefire agreement with Israel, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the truce.
Israel’s Defence Minister accused Tehran of breaching the ceasefire by launching attacks after the agreement came into effect, vowing “powerful strikes” in response to any further provocation.
However, Iranian authorities swiftly rejected the accusation, insisting no offensive operations were conducted post-ceasefire. In a strongly worded statement, Tehran warned that “any further aggression will be met with a decisive, firm, and timely response.”
The ceasefire was brokered amid weeks of heightened hostilities, with global powers urging both sides to de-escalate. But the latest developments suggest the fragile truce may already be unraveling.
International observers have called for restraint, warning that a renewed conflict could destabilize the region and reverse ongoing diplomatic efforts.
