Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Israel not to drop further bombs on Iran after reports that both countries had violated the ceasefire agreement he brokered.
Only this morning was it announced – chiefly by Trump, no less – that Israel and Iran had reached a peace deal to bring a swift end to their “12-day war”. Shortly afterwards, however, new reports emerged suggesting that Iran had immediately violated the agreement by launching new missiles.
Iran denied it had fired said missiles at Israel in the “last few hours”, but Israeli defense minister Israel Katz revealed he has ordered the country’s military to respond forcefully.
“In light of Iran’s blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States – through the launch of missiles toward Israel – and in accordance with the Israeli government’s policy to respond forcefully to any breach, I have instructed the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) … to continue high-intensity operations targeting regime assets and terror infrastructure in Tehran,” read Katz’ statement.
