BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. The breach of the ceasefire between Iran and Israel didn't take long for Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz to jump into the fray, Trend reports via the Times of Israel.
Thus, he gave the green light to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to unleash a barrage on Iranian regime targets right in the heart of Tehran, all in response to what he claimed was a blatant breach of the ceasefire by Iran.
According to the claim, two ballistic missiles were launched from the Iranian side after the announcement of the ceasefire agreement.
On the morning of June 13, Israel carried out airstrikes against Iran. The attacks killed numerous high-ranking military officials, including Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff; Hossein Salami, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC); and Gholam Ali Rashid, head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, along with nine nuclear scientists and other senior figures.
That same evening, Iran launched a retaliatory strike dubbed “Operation True Promise III,” firing hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at multiple targets across Israel, including Tel Aviv. The attacks caused civilian casualties and widespread damage.
To note, the United States conducted airstrikes targeting three nuclear facilities in Iran on June 22, reportedly causing significant damage.
"We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iranian airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home," President of the US Donald Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
Earlier today, US President Donald Trump claimed that Israel and Iran have reached the ceasefire agreement.
