Israel-Iran conflict LIVE: ‘Hard slap to America’s face’, Iran’s supreme leader hails ‘victory’ over Israel, US

According to updates shared by the semi-official Tasnim News agency, Israel struck the Mianrahan emergency medical center in Kermanshah. The facility and its ambulance were reportedly destroyed, and a doctor, two medics, and several patients were injured. Local media reports said Israel also hit Farabi Hospital and agricultural centers.

“In light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force.” the IDF quoted Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, as saying in a situational assessment.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said he had ordered Israel’s military to “continue high-intensity operations targeting regime assets and terror infrastructure in Tehran” in light of “Iran’s blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States.”

Hours earlier, Trump had posted on Truth Social: “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”

Both Israel and Iran had confirmed the ceasefire after Trump’s announcement.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday he had ordered the military to strike Tehran in response to what he said were Iranian missiles fired in a violation of the ceasefire announced hours earlier by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Iran said it had not violated the ceasefire. The armed forces general staff denied there had been any launch of missiles towards Israel in recent hours, Iran’s Nour News reported.

Stocks rallied and oil prices fell on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump announced what appears to be a shaky ceasefire in the Israel-Iran war. The tentative truce proposed by Trump remained uncertain after Israel said Iran had launched missiles into its airspace less than three hours after the ceasefire went into effect.

Oil prices fell further, after tumbling on Monday as fears subsided of an Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for shipping crude. The price of oil initially jumped 6% after trading began Sunday night, a signal of rising worries as investors got their first chance to react to the U.S. bombings. But it quickly shed all those gains, with U.S. benchmark crude falling 7.2%. It dropped further early Tuesday, giving up 3% to $66.44 per barrel.

The acceptance of the deal by both sides came after Iran launched a final onslaught of missiles targeting Israel that killed at least four people early on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile Israel launched a blitz of airstrikes targeting sites across the Islamic Republic before dawn.

Both countries later claimed that attacks had continued for several hours after the official start of the ceasefire. The Israeli military said it had detected another Iranian barrage hours after the start of the ceasefire. And Iran state TV quoted the military command spokesperson as saying that Tel Aviv had struck Iran up until 9 am local time

The Iranian Supreme Security Councilhas reportedly confirmed the Israel ceasefire.

This comes hours Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that he had ordered the military to strike Tehran in response to what he said were missiles fired by Iran in a violation of the ceasefire announced hours earlier by US President Donald Trump.

Iran had denied violating the ceasefire. The armed forces general staff denied that there had been any launch of missiles towards Israel in recent hours, Iran’s Nour News reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a phone call on Tuesday with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain and the two leaders spoke in favour of restoring peace in the Middle East as soon as possible, Russian state news agency TASS reported.

“Russia has supported Iran with the clear position it has taken. Russia intends to further develop relations with Iran,” the Kremlin said.

U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said on Tuesday that he had written to Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi to propose a meeting and urged cooperation after a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced.

Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a post on X that Iran resuming cooperation with the agency could lead to a diplomatic solution to the long-standing controversy over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons.

France has urged Iran to engage without delay in negotiations that could lead to an agreement over its nuclear and ballistic programmes. The French Foreign Ministry called for immediate talks, stressing the urgent need to resolve the crisis diplomatically and prevent further regional instability or escalation into a broader confrontation.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz accused Iran of “completely violating” the ceasefire after missiles were fired into Israeli airspace less than three hours after the truce took effect. Katz said he had instructed the Israeli military to resume targeting Iranian paramilitary and government assets.

The latest attack shattered the ceasefire agreed by both sides under US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the 12-day war.

According to Katz, Iran had shown it could not be trusted to respect the deal, forcing Israel to act. The escalation raises fears of further retaliation as the fragile truce appears to collapse.

The Israeli military reports detecting missiles launched from Iran. Air defence systems have been activated to intercept the threat, and civilians are urged to take shelter until further notice. The attack comes just after Israel agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire, and before any confirmation from Iran. The Iranian foreign minister previously stated attacks would stop if Israel did.

A tense overnight exchange between Iran and Israel ended this morning after Israel agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire. Donald Trump announced the deal late last night and confirmed its implementation at 06:08 BST.

Iran had also signaled willingness to halt attacks if Israel followed suit. Before the ceasefire began, both sides exchanged intense fire, with reports of significant damage in Tehran and casualties in Israel, including at least four dead and 22 injured in Beersheba.

The agreement has calmed the region temporarily, though uncertainty remains about its long-term viability as diplomatic talks continue.

At least nine people were killed and 33 injured in an attack in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, northern Iran. Four houses were destroyed. Local officials say women and children are among the casualties. Reports suggest Israel was behind the strike, with a senior nuclear scientist also reportedly killed in the incident.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that he had informed the security cabinet of Israel’s full success in its 12-day operation against Iran.

Netanyahu said all war goals had been achieved, including neutralising Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile threats, severely damaging Iran’s military leadership, and striking key government sites. Israel also gained control of Tehran’s airspace during the campaign, Netanyahu stated.

“Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire,” Netanyahu said.

The Israeli government has confirmed its agreement to Donald Trump’s ceasefire proposal. In a formal statement, officials emphasised that Israel will “respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.”

The government asserted it accepted the truce after “achieving the objectives” of its campaign, including the removal of Iran’s immediate threats from nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

The statement further noted that Israel’s forces had “inflicted severe damage on Iran’s military leadership,” destroyed dozens of key Iranian government targets, and eliminated hundreds of Basij operatives. A senior nuclear scientist was also killed in a strike in Tehran.

Finally, Israel thanked President Trump and the US for their support, acknowledging America’s role in neutralising Iran’s nuclear threat and calling the ceasefire a “vital turning point.”

A total of 165 Indian nationals were evacuated by the Indian Air Force under Operation Sindhu from Jordan, in an effort to get citizens back home safe amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The IAF’s C-17 aircraft landed in Delhi today morning, and the passengers were welcomed by Minister of State L Murugan.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran “is now in effect” and urged both countries to not violate it.

“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Israel’s military confirms citizens can now leave protected areas, signalling the Iranian missile threat is officially over for now.

Iranian state television reported Tuesday that a ceasefire had begun in its war with Israel, even as Israel warned the public of a new missile barrage launched from Iran.

It wasn’t immediately possible to reconcile the messages from Iran and Israel on the 12th day of their war. Iranian state television announced the ceasefire in a graphic on screen, not immediately acknowledging the new missile barrage coming after the deadline set by President Donald Trump in his earlier ceasefire announcement.

A series of Iranian barrages before the ceasefire deadline killed three people and injured at least eight others in Israel, rescuers said.

Despite ceasefire violation by Iran, Trump hailed American B-2 pilots for the ‘deal’ between Israel and Iran.

“We couldn’t have made today’s “deal” without the talent and courage of our great B-2 pilots, and all of those associated with that operation. In a certain and very ironic way, that perfect “hit,” late in the evening, brought everyone together, and the deal was made!!!”, reads Trump’s Truth Social post.

Some US Democrats gave cautious praise to Trump’s ceasefire announcement. Brett McGurk, former Biden Middle East coordinator, lauded Trump’s team for “managing this crisis,” urging diplomacy. Congresswoman Sara Jacobs added, “I’m glad Trump isn’t escalating further,” but criticised the strikes as reckless and damaging to US credibility in achieving a lasting, verifiable deal with Iran.

Members of Congress will receive classified briefings on Tuesday directly from President Donald Trump’s top intelligence and military officials, three days after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and a day after Iran targeted a U.S. base in Qatar.

Lawmakers — including some Republicans — have raised serious questions about the President’s decision to act without Congressional approval and the strategy to prevent further escalation. “We need to understand what these strikes achieved and what the plan is moving forward,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.

The briefings will feature CIA Director John Ratcliffe, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Gen. Dan Caine, and other top officials.

Iranian state television channel IRINN declared that a ceasefire was “imposed” on Israel following what it termed a “successful” Iranian attack on a US base in Qatar.

The IRINN presenter stated that President Donald Trump “begged” for the ceasefire after the strikes. The broadcast hailed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Army, lauding their role in demonstrating the nation’s resilience, as reported by BBC.

IRINN also celebrated Iran’s attack as a measured response to US strikes on its nuclear sites. However, Qatar noted that all Iranian missiles were intercepted, denying any successful impact. The IRGC nonetheless termed the ceasefire as a strategic victory.

Israel’s fire service confirmed three fatalities after the third wave of Iranian missile strikes hit the south. Emergency services found an unconscious man outside a damaged building and two others inside. Thick smoke rose from the scene as rescuers set up a triage point and began treating injured residents, reports BBC.

The Israeli military reports a fourth wave of missiles launched from Iran toward Israel, escalating tensions and deepening regional instability.

Sarmad Faizan from a student from Jammu and Kashmir, who has been evacuated from Iran, says, “…I was in Iran for about 10 months. Our exams were going on but all of this happened. I was scheduled to return home in July and had booked my tickets but the flight movements were suspended…I was in Kerman where the situation is stable. But overall in Iran there is uncertainty because internet is affected there and we do not know what is exactly happening…”

Speaking on Operation Sindhu, he says, “Everything was really good, from accommodation to everything else. We didn’t face any difficulties. We came here comfortably.”
