Iran reported explosions in multiple northern cities on Tuesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran “in effect.” Israeli officials confirmed a strike on a radar site near Tehran, citing retaliation for Iranian missile launches. The IRGC later confirmed that Mohammad Taghi Yousefvand, head of Basij counterintelligence, was killed in Monday’s Israeli missile strike. Iranian media also reported the death of nuclear scientist Mohammad-Reza Sedighi Saber. Trump harshly criticized Israel for violating the truce and urged restraint, calling PM Netanyahu to halt further strikes. Israel later paused attacks, citing Trump’s intervention. (PC: AFP)
