Gate News bot reports that, according to CNN, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a “complete” ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday. However, just hours later, the ceasefire agreement appeared to be on shaky ground. Israel accused Iran of violating the agreement on Tuesday morning and stated that it would “respond with force.” However, a senior Iranian security official told CNN that after midnight Eastern Time, “no missiles have been fired at the enemy so far.”
· Trump announces sudden ceasefire:
“I want to congratulate the two countries, Israel and Iran, for having the perseverance, courage, and wisdom to end what should be called the ‘Twelve Day War,’” Trump wrote on social media, marking the formal adoption of a ceasefire agreement that seemed unlikely just a few hours earlier. Iran and Israel then announced their agreement to cease fire, with Trump stating that the ceasefire would take effect early Tuesday morning.
“I believe the ceasefire is indefinite and will last forever,” Trump told NBC News.
· Israel accuses Iran of violating the ceasefire protocol:
But on Tuesday morning, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that, given Iran’s “complete violation” of the ceasefire protocol, Israel “will respond with force.” Israeli Defense Forces officials told CNN that the Israeli military intercepted two missiles launched by Iran towards Israel.
· Iran denies these claims:
Iranian state media denied that Iran launched missiles at Israel. A senior Iranian security official added that “no missiles have been fired at the enemy so far” after 7:30 AM local time.
The official told CNN: “If Israel makes a mistake, all occupied territories will be attacked, just like one hour before the war stops.”
· The whole world is watching:
Trump announced a ceasefire, and people were relieved and cautiously optimistic. Qatar helped Iran join the ceasefire, which was also appreciated by leaders in the region, a person familiar with the matter said. At the same time, China expressed “hope” that the ceasefire agreement would be implemented as soon as possible. But the ceasefire in the region is extremely fragile, and if it breaks, countries will be uneasy.
· Agreement reached after the Iran attack:
Just 24 hours ago, any ceasefire agreement, even a fragile one, seemed out of reach. At that time, Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, and the U.S. was preparing to respond to Iran’s retaliatory actions.
However, Iran’s actions were very low-key. Qatar intercepted all Iranian missiles targeting the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base on Monday, with only one missile landing in an area that did not cause casualties. Trump thanked Iran on Monday for “the advance notice” of the attack, which seemed to be an attempt to save face. Diplomatic sources told CNN that they hope Iran’s retaliatory strikes could become a way to resolve issues.
· Will Gaza be next?
After Trump announced a ceasefire, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated, “Now is the time to end the Gaza front.” “Bring the hostages home, end the war. Israel needs to start rebuilding,” he said.
The war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip has resulted in over 55,000 fatalities, and dozens of Israeli hostages are still being held. “Those who can reach a ceasefire with Iran can also end the war in Gaza,” the Hostage and Missing Families Forum added in a statement on Tuesday.
