Iran has reportedly violated a ceasefire with Israel just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a desperate plea for peace.
On June 23, 2025, Trump announced a complete ceasefire between Israel and Iran in a bid to halt escalating violence.
However, within hours, Iran launched approximately 20 missiles targeting cities in Israel, including Beersheba.
The missile attack caused several fatalities and injuries, as well as significant damage to residential areas.
Israel responded by activating missile defense systems and air raid sirens, while the Israeli military launched airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites in Tehran.
Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, condemned Iran’s actions as a blatant violation of the ceasefire and ordered intensified operations.
Despite Israel’s retaliation, Iran denied launching missiles after the ceasefire began, claiming that Israel had breached the agreement first with airstrikes.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a statement vowing to respond to any further Israeli aggression.
The United Nations condemned the missile attacks, while Qatar worked to de-escalate the tensions, reassuring civilians in the region.
The fragile ceasefire now stands on the brink of collapse, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation as it remains highly volatile and uncertain.
This rapid escalation highlights the difficulty of achieving lasting peace in the region and the deep mistrust between Israel and Iran.
