Iran has accused Israel of violating a ceasefire agreement with a series of military strikes on June 24, 2025, targeting its nuclear facilities. The allegations, reported by Iranian state media, have heightened regional tensions, with Tehran vowing a decisive response.
According to the spokesperson of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters, Israel conducted three waves of strikes on Iranian targets until 9 a.m. local time (0530 GMT). Iranian state TV had announced a ceasefire effective from 7:30 a.m., which Iran claims Israel disregarded. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated its armed forces are ready to “decisively respond” to any further aggression, signalling potential retaliation.
