Israel orders strikes against Tehran, Iran reportedly denies ceasefire violated
The Israeli Defense Ministry says Minister Israel Katz has ordered the military to strike Tehran. The ministry accuses Iran of firing missiles toward Israel in violation of a ceasefire. A statement issued on Tuesday says Katz has instructed Israeli forces to respond to Iran's move with intense attacks against government targets in the heart of Tehran. Meanwhile, Iran's state-run media said the general staff of the armed forces has denied that any missile launches from Iran against Israel had taken place in recent hours. Earlier in the day, Iran's state-run television reported that the ceasefire had begun. US President Donald Trump said online on Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to it.

Big questions loom over Trump's announcement of Israel-Iran ceasefire deal
When President Donald Trump sent U.S. bombers to strike Iran's nuclear sites last weekend, he was betting he could help ally Israel cripple Tehran's nuclear program while keeping his long-standing vow to avoid entanglement in a protracted war. Just days later, Trump's surprise announcement on Monday of an Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement suggests he may have bombed Tehran's rulers back to the negotiating table. But a long list of big unanswered questions remains, not least whether any ceasefire can actually hold between two bitter foes whose yearslong "shadow' conflict had erupted into an air war marked by the past 12 days of strikes on each other's territory.
