Israel says Iran has violated ceasefire and vows retaliation [View all]
https://www.ft.com/content/f44016f4-25b7-4f3f-9bb2-613e5a6d9e5eIsrael warned of new missile fire from Iran and vowed to retaliate, just minutes after it announced it had agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire with Tehran.
The two countries had on Tuesday agreed to halt hostilities, heralding a possible end to almost two weeks of conflict between the regional rivals.
But minutes after Israel confirmed it had agreed to the truce, it said Iran had broken the agreement.
“I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with powerful strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran,” said Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz.
However, Iranian state television then denied the country violated the ceasefire.
