Iranian state-affiliated media outlets denied that Iran fired missiles at Israel after a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect Tuesday morning.
Axar.az informs, citing CNN, “The news that Iran fired missiles at the occupied territories after imposing a ceasefire on the Zionist regime is denied,” the semi-official ISNA news agency reported on its Telegram channel Tuesday without attribution.
State-linked Nour News also ran the denial. Iranian television reported that Iran has not fired any missiles at Israel since the ceasefire came into effect.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier that Israel “will respond with force” after Iran’s “utter violation” of the ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump, adding that it will “continue the intensive operation to strike” Tehran.
Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said that “in light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force.”
The Israeli military intercepted two missiles launched from Iran at Israel, an IDF official told CNN.
A senior security official in Iran has told CNN that after 7:30 a.m. local time (12:00 a.m. ET), “no missiles have been fired at the enemy so far.”
