Iranian military denies launching new missiles at Israel
Iran has firmly denied reports about any new missile launches from the Islamic Republic toward the occupied territories after the regime ceased its aggression early on Tuesday.
In a statement on Tuesday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces denied any missile launches from Iran toward the occupied territories after the regime was forced to halt its aggression against the Islamic Republic after 12 days.
The statement noted that some sources affiliated with the Zionist regime claimed that Iranian missiles had been fired at the regime’s territory, but it wasn’t true.
Hours after the regime was forced to halt its aggression against Iran as part of a deal with US President Donald Trump, Israeli war affairs minister Israel Katz said he had instructed the Israeli military to “respond forcefully” to what he claimed to be Iran’s violation of the “truce.”
A well-informed source told Press TV that the claim was just a pretext to initiate the breach of the so-called “truce” agreement reached between the Israeli regime and Washington.
He said Iran is still in the process of assessing the evolving situation and whether or not the Israeli regime will adhere to the agreement it reached with Trump on halting its aggression.
The source said it was the Israeli regime that approached Trump with an offer to halt its attacks against the Islamic Republic after the American president hinted that the US would stay away from the war following Iranian missile strikes on a US base in Qatar.
After the Iranian retaliation, Trump took to social media to declare “peace” with Iran. According to US media, he had decided not to escalate any further after Iranian response.
Iranian retaliatory measures dubbed ‘Operation Tidings of Victory’ came in response to the American aggression against Iranian nuclear sites early on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have warned that any breach of the agreement between Tel Aviv and Washington on cessation of hostilities would be met with stronger retaliation.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) chief commander, Major General Mohammad Pakpour, in a statement early on Tuesday warned that any renewed aggression against Iran would prompt the Islamic Republic to teach Washington a “historic lesson.”
Pakpour also denounced Trump’s decision to order the aggression in line with Washington’s unfaltering support for the “nefarious and child-killing” Israeli regime.
He said such efforts amounted to the US president “sacrificing the interests and security of the American people for the survival of the Israeli regime.”
The aggression on the Islamic Republic ended after 12 days. On June 13, the Israeli regime launched unprovoked and unlawful attacks across Iran, claiming the lives of top-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists and ordinary citizens.
In response, Iranian armed forces launched multiple waves of missile and drone strikes at the occupied territories, targeting key military, intelligence and industrial facilities.
The retaliatory operations debunked the myth of Israeli military prowess, and forced the United States to intervene on behalf of the regime at Netanyahu’s request.
