A new report states that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been halted. The report also denies that Israel participated in overnight US strikes on Iran, pushing back against foreign media reports.
A new report early Thursday morning indicated that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been halted, aligning with prior US official statements, and denied that Israel participated in the overnight US strikes on Iran. The report, which emerged around 04:00 Jerusalem, contradicts claims in some foreign media that Israel had joined the strikes.
The thread of reporting on the ceasefire breakdown began Wednesday evening. At 17:26 Jerusalem, analyst Dror Balazada assessed that President Trump viewed the ceasefire as over. Minutes later, Trump declared the ceasefire ended, and a US official confirmed to CNN that the halt was at least temporary. By 17:26, the same official detailed that the strikes targeted missiles and drones that could threaten American assets, including near the Strait of Hormuz. The Zioneer reported at 01:03 Thursday that a US official stated the strikes had targeted such threats.
Background context from The Zioneer's coverage includes the US-Iran ceasefire agreement brokered in late June, as reported by Axios, which halted attacks and led to negotiations. The week-long pause expired on Tuesday, with Iran resuming attacks on Israel, as reported by Channel 14 analyst Noam Amir. The escalation was linked to Iran's attack on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, according to analyst Ben Yaniv.
The new report's source remains unidentified, and its denial of Israeli participation is unverified. The overall situation remains fluid, with the ceasefire's status unclear and further details awaited.
