Israel says it ordered strikes on Tehran over alleged truce violation

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says he has instructed the military to launch “intense strikes” on Iranian targets in central Tehran in response to what he called Iran’s breach of the ceasefire.

“I have ordered the Israel Defense Forces to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran,” Katz said in a statement.

Iran has not confirmed any new attacks. Earlier, Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran would halt its operations only if Israel stopped its assaults.
