Emergency and rescue responders work at the rubble of a building after a ballistic missile fired from Iran struck a building in Beer Sheva, Israel, shortly before Iran publicly announced a ceasefire on June 24, 2025.Amir Levy—Getty Images  by [Miranda Jeyaretnam](/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/)  ## Miranda Jeyaretnam Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Reporter Updated: Jun 24, 2025 2:45 PM CUTPublished: Jun 24, 2025 9:40 AM CUT Within a few hours of publicly agreeing to a ceasefire [brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump](https://time.com/7297049/iran-israel-ceasefire-trump/ "undefined"), Israel has launched new strikes at Iran, which it accused of breaking the peace deal. The resumption of hostilities threatens to extend the conflict that Trump dubbed the “12 Day War.” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz [said](https://x.com/Israel%5Fkatz/status/1937446603880906753 "undefined") on Tuesday he ordered the Israeli Defense Forces to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.” The IDF [said](https://x.com/IDF/status/1937414143637639295 "undefined") it sounded sirens in northern Israel “due to missile fire from Iran” around 3:30 a.m. ET. [Israel](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-hits-iranian-government-targets-day-after-u-s-strikes-on-iranian-nuclear-sites "undefined") and [Iran](https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-war-nuclear-trump-bomber-news-06-23-2025-9e78510c88ccc5e262341f41550609c5 "undefined") earlier launched strikes at each other shortly before acknowledging the beginning of a ceasefire, but an Israeli official [told](https://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-trump-ceasefire-attacks-continue-f1e60190722cc3410b69f21717872ffa "undefined") the Associated Press that two more missiles were detected and intercepted hours after the start of the ceasefire. The Israeli Embassy in London [published a photo](https://x.com/IsraelinUK/status/1937438855885377711 "undefined") purporting to show a rocket fired at Israel by Iran during the ceasefire, adding: “Iran continues to show its true nature as a terror state and a regional threat.” According to Iranian state media, Iran’s armed forces [denied](https://x.com/PressTV/status/1937451916486934990 "undefined") Israel’s claims that it fired fresh missiles at Israel after the ceasefire began and [leveled](https://x.com/PressTV/status/1937451916486934990 "undefined") accusations against Israel of its own ceasefire violations, alleging three strikes across Iran earlier in the morning after the ceasefire had begun. Iranian state media claimed, citing unnamed sources, that Israel’s allegation of a ceasefire violation was “[pretext](https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/06/24/750090/israeli-war-minister-claim-fresh-iranian-missile-strikes-not-true "undefined")” to engage in further aggression. The report also reiterated Iranian threats that any breaches of the ceasefire by Israel or the U.S. would be met with “stronger retaliation.” “In light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force,” Israel’s Chief of General Staff Eyal Zamir [said](https://x.com/IDF/status/1937427038090006827 "undefined"). Hardline Israeli politicians seemed to celebrate the ceasefire’s collapse. “Tehran trembles,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet, [posted](https://x.com/bezalelsm/status/1937413850153852972 "undefined") on X. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir [posted](https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/1937423363070136700 "undefined") a pair of emojis: 💥🤌🏻. Israel had [said that it agreed](https://x.com/Israel/status/1937407329311265151 "undefined") to the ceasefire because it had already “achieved all of the objectives” of its military operation that [began on June 13](https://time.com/7293795/israel-strikes-iran-attack-what-to-know/ "undefined") and has killed hundreds of Iranians, including [top generals and nuclear scientists](https://time.com/7293886/iranian-generals-scientists-targets-killed-by-israeli-strikes/ "undefined"). The earlier statement noted, however, that “Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.” Trump, who touted the truce on Monday night and warned “please do not violate it,” was furious on Tuesday morning with the latest developments, reportedly telling reporters that he was “not happy” with Iran and “really unhappy” with Israel. “They don’t know what the f-ck they’re doing,” he said, according to the White House press pool. “I’m gonna see if I can stop it.” In a [post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114737953503348541 "undefined") on Truth Social, Trump [warned](https://time.com/7297123/trump-warns-israel-bombs-iran-ceasefire/ "undefined") Israel: “DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7297098/israel-iran-ceasefire-broken-missile-strikes-tehran/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7297098/israel-iran-ceasefire-broken-missile-strikes-tehran/"},"headline":"Ceasefire Appears to Collapse as Israel Accuses Iran of Missile Strike and Orders Retaliation","datePublished":"2025-06-24T09:40:00.000Z","dateModified":"2025-06-24T14:45:05.000Z","description":"Israel ordered fresh strikes on Iran, as Iran denied violating the truce brokered by Trump just hours earlier.","url":"https://time.com/7297098/israel-iran-ceasefire-broken-missile-strikes-tehran/","keywords":["conflict","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09c9636486c97ea0/6998c7ba66d4e3fdc5cbc97a/beersheva.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Miranda Jeyaretnam","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09c9636486c97ea0/6998c7ba66d4e3fdc5cbc97a/beersheva.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Iran And Israel Continue Trading Missile Barrages After US Intervention","caption":"Iran And Israel Continue Trading Missile Barrages After US Intervention","creditText":"Amir Levy—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/conflict/","name":"conflict"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7297098/israel-iran-ceasefire-broken-missile-strikes-tehran/","name":"Ceasefire Appears to Collapse as Israel Accuses Iran of Missile Strike and Orders Retaliation"}}]}] ```
