Iran says it hit military targets in Israel after ceasefire violations

Iran’s Foreign Ministry says its armed forces struck several “military targets” north of the “occupied Palestinian territories”, after accusing Israel and the US of repeatedly violating the April ceasefire.

In a statement, the ministry said the attacks came after a “repeated violation” of the truce between the US, Iran and Israel, including US strikes on Iranian ships and targets in southern Iran.

The ceasefire has been in force since April 17 in name only, with Israel repeatedly breaching it.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the country was defending its security and national interests, warning that any attack by Israel on Lebanon or Iran would be met with “a crushing and comprehensive response”.
