The Iranian command announced the cessation of attacks on Israel

The statement emphasizes that the Iranian strikes were carried out in order to support the people of Lebanon after Israeli attacks aimed at the south of the country and the Beirut district of Dahiya, and carried out with the support of the United States.

“New Israeli strikes on both Lebanese and Iranian territory will entail a much tougher response,” the command reports.

Let us note that almost simultaneously the command of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to strike “enemy ships” that would attempt to break the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump addressed Israel and Iran on his Truth Social account: “Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting (the word “shooting” is in quotation marks).

Let us note that Donald Trump insisted that Israel accept the deal with Iran, emphasizing that it is not Netanyahu who decides, but he. The Israeli strike on air defense systems and other targets of the Iranian regime apparently came as a surprise to Trump, although Iranian officials are trying to shift responsibility for the renewed hostilities to the United States.

In particular, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai doubted statements according to which the US administration was taken by surprise by Israeli strikes on Iranian territory. “No one will believe that the Israeli regime would take such actions without coordination with the United States. America bears full responsibility for this aggression, it will also have to answer for the consequences of any escalation,” the Iranian official said.

Until now, it is known that the United States did not take part in the renewed strikes on Iranian regime targets on Monday night.

Meanwhile, the IDF views the resumption of hostilities against Iran not as the beginning of a new round of confrontation, but as a continuation of Operation Roar of the Lion, reports the Kan news service.
