Israel bombed on Tuesday an objective close to Tehran, despite a furious reprimand of US President, Donald Trump, for launching air attacks hours after agreeing on a ceasefire with Iran.
Trump rebuked Iran and Israel for the early rapes of the truce that had announced around 0500 GMTbut directed particularly hard criticisms to the nearby ally of Washington for the scale of his attacks by saying “to calm down now.”
The US president said that Israel had canceled future attacks on his order to preserve the agreement to finish an air war of 12 days with Iranthe greatest military confrontation in history among the Archiones of the Middle East, which had generated fears of global repercussions.
However, after those statements, Two witnesses contacted by phone in the Iranian capital claimed to have heard two strong explosions.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s office, Benjamin Netanyahu, acknowledged that Israel had bombarded the site of a radar near Tehran, In what he said was a retaliation for the Iranian missiles fired three and a half hours after the start of ceasefire.
And he added that Israel had decided to refrain from more attacks after a call between Netanyahu and Trump, But he did not explicitly indicate whether the attack on the radar place took place before or after they talked.
The Islamic Republic denied having launched missiles and He affirmed that the Israeli attacks continued for an hour and a half beyond the time scheduled for the start of the high fire.
Iranian president, Masoud Peeshkian, said later that Tehran would not violate the ceasefire unless Israel did and that he was prepared to return to the negotiating table, without giving more details, according to the state newspaper NourNews.
The maintenance of the truce is a great unknown. As an omen of a difficult path ahead, Israel and I would take hours to even recognize that they had accepted the ceasefire that Trump said he had negotiated.
Even so, oil prices fell and shared markets rose worldwide before the perspective of the conflicteliminating the threat of an interruption of the Persian Gulf oil supply to the rest of the world.
Trump, on the way to An NATO summit in the Netherlands, rebuked Israel in an unusual outburst against an ally whose military campaign had joined two days before launching huge anti-bunker bombs on the underground nuclear facilities of Iran.
“All airplanes will turn around and return home, while making a friendly greeting to Iran. No one will be injured, the high fire is in force!” Trump said in a publication in Truth Social.
This followed another publication in which he said: “Israel. Do not launch those bombs. If they do it is a serious violation. They take their pilots home, now!”
Before getting on the plane, the US president told journalists that he was not “happy” with either side for raping the truce, In particular with Israel, who, according to him, had attacked shortly after accepting the agreement.
“I have to get Israel to calm down now,” Trump said when leaving the White House. “Israel, as soon as we made the deal, came out and launched a burden of bombs, as I had never seen before, the biggest load we have seen,” he added.
Iran and Israel have been fighting “so long and so hard that they don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
An axios reporter said that Israeli prime minister had told Trump that Israel would reduce the bombing mission instead of canceling it.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz had said the earliest Tuesday that he had ordered the Armed Forces to launch new attacks on objectives in Tehran In response to what they said were Iranian missiles launched in a “flagrant rape” of the high fire.
In spite of the initial reports of violations, in both countries the feeling of relief was palpable for having drawn a path to get out of the war, 12 days after Israel began with a surprise attack, and two days after Trump joined attacks against Iranian nuclear objectives.
“We are happy, very happy. Who has mediated or how it has happened does not matter. The war has ended. It should never have begun in the first place.”He told Reuters on the phone, Sharifi, 38, who returned to Tehran from Rasht, in the Caspio Sea, where he had moved with his family to escape the attacks against the capital.
Arik Daimant, computer engineer in Tel Aviv, said: “Unfortunately, it’s a bit late for me and my family, because our house here was totally destroyed in recent bombings last Sunday. But as they say: ‘Better late than ever’, and I hope this fire is a new beginning. “
Speaking to journalists aboard the Air Force One on the way to the NATO summit in The Hague, Trump said he did not want to see the Iran’s government system overthrown.
“I don’t want it. I would like everything to calm down as soon as possible. A regime change entails chaos and the ideal would be not to see so much chaos,” he said. “Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon, by the way. I think it is the last thing they have in mind right now,” he added.
In the hours prior to the entry into force of the truce, four people, one of them an outside -service Israeli soldierdied of Iranian missiles that hit a residential building in Beerseba, in southern Israel, according to the Israeli ambulance service.
