Washington: US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that a ceasefire has come into effect in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. Posting on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Ceasefire comes into force from now on. Please don’t break it.”
However, despite Trump’s announcement, Iran has launched six ballistic missile attacks on Israel since the statement was made.
According to a report by the Times of Israel, one of the missiles struck a building in the southern city of Beersheba. Medical teams confirmed that four people were killed and over 20 others were injured in the attack.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has dismissed claims of a ceasefire agreement. Speaking to reporters, he said, “No final ceasefire agreement has been reached with Israel yet. If Israel stops attacks, Iran will not attack either.”
Tensions in the region remain high as both sides continue to exchange fire despite international appeals for de-escalation.
