Ceasefire Clash: Israel's Preemptive Strike on Iranian Radar Installation
Israel conducted a strike on a radar installation near Tehran in response to Iranian missile launches, hours before a ceasefire was set to begin. U.S. President Trump expressed frustration with the timing of Israel's attack, while Tehran denied breaching the truce terms and accused Israel of continued aggression.
Israel has acknowledged conducting a preemptive strike on a radar installation near Tehran shortly after a ceasefire was announced, according to a statement from Prime Minister Netanyahu's office. This action followed Iran's missile launches, though Israel refrained from further attacks after discussions with U.S. President Trump.
President Trump criticized Israel's military response, noting that the strike occurred before the ceasefire's official start time. Meanwhile, Tehran denied any breaches of the truce, alleging that Israeli strikes persisted post-ceasefire.
The incident heightened tensions as an Iranian missile killed four Israelis. Israel retaliated by destroying the radar installation while sparing further aggression after Trump's intervention.
