The tension in the Middle East has risen again after Israel accused Iran of violating a ceasefire announced hours earlier by the U.S. President Donald Trump, meant to end the 12-day war that saw several casualties on both sides.
Earlier today, Israeli and Iran agreed to the ceasefire Trump previously brokered, with the U.S. president emphasizing both sides not to violate. Israel stated its goal achievement in destroying several Iran’s nuclear programme sites, while Iran stated its victory in forcing Israel to ceasefire and will not respond if there is no more attack from Israel after 04:00 am local time in Tehran.
However, shortly after the armistice, Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz, accused Iran of firing missiles, violating the agreement. Although Iran denied the accusation, Katz ordered Israel’s military to attack intensively at Iran’s “regime assets and terror infrastructure.”
The conflict between the two nations is about to reach two weeks. Despite the U.S. assisting Israel by dropping bunker-busters at Iran’s nuclear sites, the situation seemed to improve when all parties agreed to the ceasefire. The global stock markets surged afterward, while oil prices dropped.
