Tehran has warned that it will deliver a “decisive response” to any violations of the truce by West Jerusalem.
Iran has agreed to a ceasefire with Israel since Tehran’s military objectives have been achieved, the Iranian Supreme National Security Council has announced.
US President Donald Trump announced earlier that there would be a truce after nearly two weeks of tit-for-tat strikes. Trump claimed that Israel and Iran had approached him “almost simultaneously, and said, ‘PEACE!’, adding that the Middle East and the whole world would be “winners” in a cessation of hostilities.
Iran’s top security body announced “the national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy [Israel] and its vile supporters” in a statement on Tuesday.
The Iranian military “without any trust to the words of the enemy and with their hands on the trigger, are ready to deliver a decisive and deterring response to any violating act by the enemy,” it warned.
Tehran delivered a “humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy’s cruelty,” including a missile attack on the US base in Qatar on Monday and the latest wave of strikes against Israel.
“The courage and sacrifice” of the Iranian military “forced the enemy into regret and accepting defeat and the unilateral cessation of its aggression,” it added.
A few hours before, Israel also officially confirmed agreeing to the ceasefire.
The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would “respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.”
The statement thanked Trump and the US military, which hit targets in Iran on Sunday, for “their support in defense and their participation in eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat.”
Netanyahu’s office also said he held a cabinet meeting to report that “Israel has removed a dual immediate existential threat – both in the nuclear and ballistic missile fields” posed by Iran.
Moscow welcomes the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and hopes that it will be “sustained,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
“This is what Russia has been calling for from the very beginning of this conflict. So yes, this can and should be welcomed,” Peskov told journalists.
The attack by the US on the Iranian nuclear facility accomplished absolutely nothing
Using outdated technology
Iran had already moved its enriched uranium to another site to be further enriched
Now not as before nobody knows where this location(s) is
What has happened is that now Iran can go ahead with its enrichment program never intended for the manufacture of a nuclear bomb but now may be
Although they have been offered to be supplied by these or their components
Independent of Atomic Energy Commission jurisdiction and inspection
All that has transpired is a more destabilized and extremely unstable situation
Its not over
In fact it is the eye of the hurricane and just starting
This will not be a diplomatic solution
Missile fire has continued sporadically despite the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel
According to the latest reports Iran launched several missiles at israel after the ceasefire was supposed to begin
In response israel carried out retaliatory strikes including the destruction of a radar installation near Tehran
Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire and while large-scale attacks have paused tensions remain high and the situation is still highly volatile
Do not be bamboozled by the deliberate obfuscation going on here.
Israel was on the ropes, needs re-armament. Near impossible with Airports under fire and Ports closed. They under-estimated Iran’s response and over-estimated “Iron Dome”. Trump faced eroding his MAGA base (who voted against more war) and was intimidated by the economic effects of having the Straits of Hormuz closed. Trump needs to distance himself from the growing MIGA image.
Solution: Buy time to re-arm Israel and rebuild sabotage networks inside Iran (which were a large part of Israel’s initial success).
Israel will then likely sacrifice something in a false-flag blamed on Iran to bring the MAGA crowd back on side and we are off to the races again.
This was never about Nukes. It is about American hegemony and the primacy of the U.S. dollar which is threatened by BRICS, of which Iran is a key part now.
