NEW: Israel Says They “will Respond with Force” to Iran Attack

Israel has announced plans to “continue the intensive operation to strike Tehran” after both sides apparently ignored the ceasefire agreement that President Trump announced yesterday. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Iran bombed Israel on Tuesday morning after a ceasefire was agreed to on Monday.

This comes after the US dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend amid an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and Iran responded with a coordinated attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatat but gave advanced notice.

The response from Iran, President Trump said, was “very weak,” but “they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE.” He added, “I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” calling on Iran and Israel to “proceed to peace and harmony.”

Trump later  announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a total ceasefire “upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.”

“During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL,” the President demanded.

However, Iran’s attacks came in response to Israel launching the first attacks on Tehran last night after the ceasefire was announced by President Trump on Monday evening.

Now, it appears there will be no more ceasefire, as Israeli officials say Iran’s “utter violation” will not go unpunished and they will “respond with force.”

Per CNN, “Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that Israel ‘will respond with force’ after Iran’s ‘utter violation’ of the ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump, adding that it will ‘continue the intensive operation to strike’ Tehran.

“I have instructed the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) in coordination with the Prime Minister to continue the intensive operation to strike in Tehran and thwart regime targets and terror infrastructure in Tehran,” Katz said.

Iran, however, has denied responsibility for the attack.

CNN reports, “Iranian state-affiliated media outlets denied that Iran fired missiles at Israel after a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect Tuesday morning.”

“The news that Iran fired missiles at the occupied territories after imposing a ceasefire on the Zionist regime is denied,” Iranian state media reported.
