Israel Violates Trump-Brokered Ceasefire, Launches New Missiles at Iran
Washington, June 25, 2025 – In a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, Israel launched a new wave of missile strikes against Iran, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump declared that both countries had agreed to a ceasefire. The decision directly undermined Trump’s public assurance that “Israel is not going to attack Iran” and raises concerns about the fragile state of diplomacy in the region.
Trump’s “Friendly Plane Wave” Comment
Earlier on Tuesday, President Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to calm global fears, claiming Israel would turn its jets around and even perform a “friendly plane wave” toward Iran. This post was made in the wake of a ceasefire agreement that called for both nations to stop military actions after an early morning deadline.
“Nobody wants war,” Trump said. “They both agreed. I was assured personally that Israel would not strike further.”
However, within minutes of Trump’s post, explosions were reported in northern Iran, allegedly caused by fresh Israeli airstrikes, clearly violating the ceasefire agreement.
Trump Expresses Displeasure at Israel
At a press conference, Trump expressed dissatisfaction over Israel’s breach of the ceasefire:
“I didn’t like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. And now I hear Israel just went out again because they felt violated by one rocket that didn’t land anywhere.”
He added, “I’m not happy with Israel. They violated it, but Iran violated it too.”
Iran Responds to Strikes, Vows Continuity of Nuclear Programme
In response to the continued Israeli aggression, Iranian officials reported explosions at nuclear-related facilities. Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said:
“We have taken the necessary measures and are taking stock of the damage caused by the strikes. Our strategy is to ensure that production and services are not disrupted.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that Iran would halt further missile activity if Israel ceases its operations. The statement mirrored sentiments from the Israeli side, where officials stated they were “ready to pause hostilities” after claiming that “operational objectives” were achieved.
Ceasefire in Name Only?
Despite diplomatic statements, tensions remain sky-high. Hours after Iran’s peace offer, sirens wailed in northern Israel. According to Israeli military officials, multiple missiles were fired by Iran — two of which were intercepted by defense systems.
While both sides claim to seek peace, their actions on the ground suggest otherwise.
What’s Next for the Middle East?
This tit-for-tat military engagement not only undermines diplomatic efforts led by the United States but also escalates the risk of full-scale war in a region already on edge. With nuclear infrastructure under threat and public trust eroding, global powers may need to intervene to prevent a wider crisis.
Conclusion
The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran has effectively broken down, despite public reassurances from President Trump. With both sides accusing each other of violations, the situation remains volatile. As the world watches, calls for genuine diplomacy grow louder.
