JUST IN: President Trump says both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire.

The cease­fire between Israel and Iran, announced by Pres­i­dent Trump, has faced imme­di­ate chal­lenges, with both sides accus­ing each oth­er of vio­la­tions with­in hours of its imple­men­ta­tion.

Recent web reports indi­cate Israel launched strikes on Tehran fol­low­ing claims of Iran­ian mis­sile attacks, esca­lat­ing ten­sions despite the truce.

Ear­li­er this month, the U.S. mil­i­tary con­duct­ed strikes on three Iran­ian nuclear sites on June 21, 2025, mark­ing a sig­nif­i­cant esca­la­tion in the con­flict and prompt­ing Iran’s threats of retal­i­a­tion.

A Qatari mil­i­tary offi­cer report­ed that Iran fired 19 mis­siles at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on June 24, 2025, though Trump claimed only 14 were launched, with 13 inter­cept­ed.

Israel’s Defense Min­is­ter Israel Katz ordered retal­ia­to­ry strikes, cit­ing Iran’s alleged breach as a “bla­tant vio­la­tion” of the cease­fire terms.

Res­i­dents in Beer­she­ba expressed skep­ti­cism about the ceasefire’s dura­bil­i­ty, with some injured despite using rein­forced safe rooms dur­ing the mis­sile attacks.

A Boston Uni­ver­si­ty schol­ar described the cease­fire as a “qual­i­fied suc­cess” that could bol­ster Trump’s lega­cy, though it high­lights per­ceived fail­ures in pri­or U.S. for­eign pol­i­cy.

Diplo­mat­ic efforts involved Trump’s spe­cial envoy Steve Witkoff, who urged Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Netanyahu to secure a deal before Trump’s Jan­u­ary 2025 inau­gu­ra­tion.

Iran’s top diplo­mat warned of “ever­last­ing con­se­quences” fol­low­ing the U.S. strikes, sig­nal­ing poten­tial long-term reper­cus­sions for the region.
