(FILES) This combination of pictures created on June 18, 2025 shows: US President Donald Trump pumping his fist as he boards Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on March 7, 2025; Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivering a speech in Tehran on June 4, 2007; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gesturing as he delivers a speech in Jerusalem on August 27, 2014. The UN nuclear watchdog said Israeli strikes on June 18 destroyed two buildings making centrifuge components for Iran's nuclear programme near Tehran, while Iran said it fired hypersonic missiles as the arch foes traded fire for a sixth day. Hours after US President Donald Trump demanded Iran's surrender, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed his country would show "no mercy" towards Israel's leadership. (Photo by AFP)

🕊️ Ceasefire in Question

  • Iran denies any formal agreement — Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that no ceasefire deal has been reached and made clear that Iran would only halt attacks if Israel stops first.
  • Iran alleges strikes despite truce — Iran’s military spokesperson said Israel launched three distinct attacks around 9 a.m., mere minutes after the truce was announced.

🚀 Immediate Military Response

  • Israel orders strikes on Tehran — Cutting through the uncertainty, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed he had instructed high-intensity strikes on Tehran in retaliation, claiming Iran broke the ceasefire.
  • Iran refutes missile launches — Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff denies launching any missiles toward Israel during the ceasefire period.

🎯 Strategic and Regional Stakes

  • Conflict lines blur — Despite President Trump’s announcement of a “forever” ceasefire, both sides are already rearming and planning further attacks if the other side maintains aggression
  • Civilian toll rises — Iranian missile barrages have struck cities like Beersheba, causing civilian deaths and widespread sirens — the fragile truce is showing signs of collapse.
  • Economic relief is tentative — Global markets initially rallied and oil prices dropped on the ceasefire news, but the resumption of strikes has introduced caution

❗ Bottom Line

  • No robust ceasefire in effect — conflicting claims, conflicting evidence.
  • Iran contends it’s reactive and conditional; Israel insists its military must continue.
  • The situation remains highly volatile, with further escalation still likely.
