Iran Keeps Air Defenses on High Alert Despite Trump's Ceasefire Declaration
Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Iranian air defenses remained fully active late Monday, with anti-aircraft fire lighting up the skies over Tehran, according to multiple reports.
CNN footage showed tracer rounds and surface-to-air missile launches across the capital, suggesting that Iran's military remains on high alert, possibly anticipating further strikes or violations of the truce. The continued mobilization comes after a weekend of intense U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which caused significant damage and prompted retaliatory missile launches from Iran toward U.S. and Israeli targets.
While Trump declared the ceasefire 'effective immediately,' neither Iran nor Israel has officially confirmed adherence to the agreement. In fact, Israeli officials accused Iran of violating the truce by launching additional missiles, prompting Israel to resume high-intensity strikes on regime targets in Tehran.

President Al-Mashat congratulates Iran on victory over Israeli enemy & foiling its schemes
Sana'a - Saba: His Excellency Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, extended his congratulations to the Islamic Republic of Iran—its people, army, and leadership—on the great victory achieved against the aggressive Israeli enemy and the foiling of its schemes. In a congratulatory message sent to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, President Al-Mashat affirmed that this significant victory represented a legitimate defense of Iran's national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the preservation of its national security. He emphasized that this triumph aligns with Iran's steadfast positions in supporting just causes for the Islamic nation, foremost among them the Palestinian issue. President Al-Mashat stated: "The Islamic Republic has inflicted a crushing defeat on the criminal Zionist enemy, causing immense destruction and thwarting its hostile attempts to subjugate Iran through devastation and criminal operations. Iran has upheld its rights to invest in a peaceful nuclear program and its defensive rights, including its ballistic arsenal and programs. It has also overcome international aggression aimed at toppling its system and creating internal chaos." He added that Iran "has shattered the desperate attempt to impose hegemony over the Arab and Islamic region by neutralizing a capable regional power and granting so-called 'Israel' military superiority. This would have led to the complete domination of the region and the implementation of what they call 'changing the face of the new Middle East.'" President Al-Mashat noted that the Islamic Republic emerged victorious from this aggressive war following regional mediation requested by the United States—which had sponsored, planned, and participated in the aggression—when it realized that Israel's existence would be threatened if the battle continued. "While we congratulate and commend Iran—its people, government, and leadership—on their victory, resilience, and patience, we also applaud the national unity demonstrated by the Iranian people, their adherence to their national , Islamic identity, and their defense of their country across political and opposition forces. This unity shattered the enemies' conspiracies and played a key role in overcoming serious security breaches orchestrated by saboteurs serving the criminal Zionist enemy," he continued. President Al-Mashat also extended his congratulations to the Islamic nation and all free people of the world, stating that this victory serves as a deterrent to the forces of evil and domination globally. He highlighted that this aggressive war was a result of Iran's honorable and supportive stance on the just cause of the Palestinian people and the free world. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
