Explosions were reported in Tehran after Israel launched an airstrike targeting a radar facility, just hours after a ceasefire with Iran took effect. US President Donald Trump, who brokered the truce, condemned both sides but strongly rebuked Israel, urging it to “calm down now” and honor the deal. Trump said Israel agreed to pause further strikes at his request, aiming to end the 12-day air war—the most intense between the rivals in decades. However, Israeli PM Netanyahu confirmed the retaliation was in response to Iranian missile launches that occurred three-and-a-half hours after the ceasefire was declared. Tensions remain high.
