Explosions were reported in Tehran minutes after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Despite Trump's declaration, Israel claimed Iran violated the truce by launching fresh missiles, prompting sirens across multiple cities. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered a "forceful response," targeting regime assets in Tehran. Iran denied breaking the ceasefire, calling Tel Aviv’s claims false. Trump had earlier praised both nations for avoiding a prolonged war, crediting US-Qatar mediation. The 12-day conflict, which killed hundreds, appeared to escalate again despite the truce. Civilians in Israel were told to seek shelter amid renewed missile alerts. (PC: Reuters)
