Israel and Iran are in disagreement over a reported missile attack, with both sides telling different stories.
While Israel claims missiles were fired from Iranian territory, Iran denies the accusations, raising concerns that the fragile ceasefire deal could collapse.
Newskobo.com earlier reported that Donald Trump ended the 12-day war between Israel and Iran with a surprise ceasefire deal.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have resurfaced amid a precarious diplomatic moment, with both countries presenting divergent accounts of recent military events.
On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to launch a series of “intense strikes” on Tehran in response to what Israel claims was a missile attack from Iranian territory. This aggressive move comes just moments after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel’s acceptance of a ceasefire proposal reportedly brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The situation took a dramatic turn when Israeli defense officials activated air raid sirens in northern Israel, citing incoming missile threats from Iran. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had detected what it called a hostile launch and placed security forces on high alert in border regions.
However, Iran has swiftly and firmly denied the accusations. In separate reports released by Iranian state media outlets IRIB and ISNA, Iranian military officials described Israel’s claims as “baseless” and “provocative.” A brief statement from the Iranian armed forces asserted that no missiles had been launched at Israel in recent hours, contradicting Tel Aviv’s official stance.
Adding another layer to the crisis, prominent Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party, sharply criticized the ceasefire decision. Lieberman warned that halting hostilities without securing a full Iranian surrender would be a “strategic mistake.” His comments highlight growing divisions within Israel’s political landscape on how to handle the long-standing hostilities with Iran.
“The idea of a ceasefire before Iran is completely neutralized or defeated is dangerous. It sends the wrong message to both our allies and enemies,” Lieberman said during a press briefing.
Meanwhile, the international community is watching closely, with many fearing a return to full-scale conflict in a region already burdened by years of tension. While no official comment has been issued by the U.S. government since Trump’s ceasefire proposal was acknowledged by Netanyahu, analysts suggest that the latest flare-up could undermine any progress made toward de-escalation.
This latest episode is just one in a series of confrontations between Israel and Iran, two nations with a long history of hostility rooted in ideological, political, and military rivalries. Over the past year, both sides have exchanged threats and sporadic strikes, particularly amid the ongoing instability in Gaza and other parts of the Middle East.
With Israel reportedly preparing retaliatory measures and Iran continuing to deny responsibility, the truth behind the alleged missile attack remains unclear. However, what is certain is that the ceasefire plan, already fragile may be collapsing before it even takes effect.
Observers say that if immediate diplomatic engagement doesn’t occur, both countries may be on the brink of another dangerous escalation.
As of now, no casualties have been reported from the alleged missile attack, and there has been no confirmation of actual impact sites in Israel. However, security experts warn that the situation remains volatile and could shift rapidly, depending on military responses and political decisions taken in the coming hours.
