Uncertainty surrounds reported ceasefire between Iran and Israel amid ongoing missile alerts

June 24, World (LNW): In the early hours of Tuesday (24), Iranian state media declared the commencement of a ceasefire with Israel, marking what was claimed to be the end of nearly two weeks of escalating hostilities.

The televised report was accompanied by prominent graphics proclaiming the truce, giving the impression of a formal resolution.

However, the announcement was quickly overshadowed by fresh alerts from Israeli defence officials warning of potential incoming missile attacks from Iranian territory.

This apparent contradiction has cast immediate doubt on the viability and sincerity of the ceasefire, with signs that the fighting may not yet be over.

The announcement came on the twelfth day of a conflict that has seen widespread destruction and mounting casualties, particularly in Iran, where hundreds are reported to have been killed.

Israeli losses have also been reported, with more than two dozen fatalities and substantial damage to infrastructure in the country’s north.

Adding to the confusion, former US President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to declare, “the ceasefire is now in effect”, urging both parties to honour it. “Please do not violate it!” he added in a brief message.
