Missile Strikes from Iran Trigger Sirens in Israel Amid Ceasefire Announcement

Escalating Tensions Amid Ceasefire Efforts

In a dramatic development following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported missile strikes launched by Iran on Tuesday. As a result of these attacks, sirens were activated across Israel. Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, emphasized that military actions aimed at retaliating against Israel for its aggressions persisted until the early hours of the morning, specifically at 4 AM.

The IDF communicated via social media platform X, stating, 'Sirens sounding in Israel due to a missile launch from Iran.'

Prior to this, reports indicated that Israel had conducted multiple airstrikes in various locations across Iran, shortly after Trump declared an end to the 12-day conflict between the two nations. According to Iran’s First International News Network, the Israeli military targeted several sites within Iran.

The news outlet shared on X, 'Israeli military strikes several locations in Iran as Trump announces ceasefire.' This unexpected escalation followed President Trump's declaration that both Israel and Iran had consented to a 'complete and total ceasefire.' On his 'Truth Social' account on X, Trump mentioned that the ceasefire would be implemented in approximately six hours.
