"This is not the end," said Benjamin Netanyahu.
Then new explosions were heard over Iran.
"The US must choose - ceasefire or continued war via Israel," says Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to the nation on Wednesday evening after the ceasefire came into effect.
He denied reports that the US did not inform Israel until an agreement was reached with Iran.
- Israel was not surprised at the last minute by the ceasefire with Iran.
But that the war would be over is far from true, according to Netanyahu.
- This is not the end, it is the preparations on our way to fulfilling all our goals. Iran is defeated and weaker than ever, he says.
He says Israel is ready to go to war with Iran at any time and that it has its “finger on the trigger.”
At the same time, Iran said that air defenses had been activated in the cities of Isfahan, Kerman, Parand and Robat Karim. There were also reports of explosions in Isfahan.
When Donald Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, met the press, she was asked who was bombing Iran right now.
– Did that just happen? I have to check with the team and get back to you, she says.
In a post on X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi reminds the US of the ceasefire agreement and criticizes the continued bombing of Lebanon.
“The terms of a ceasefire between Iran and the US are clear: the US must choose – ceasefire or continued war via Israel. They cannot have both. The world is watching the massacre in Lebanon. The ball is in the US court, and the world will see whether they will act according to their commitments.”
