Iran denies Zionist allegations of ceasefire violation
Iran rejected on Tuesday claims by the Zionist entity that it fired missiles after agreeing to a ceasefire, according to the IRIB broadcaster and the ISNA news agency.
The reports came as the Zionist forces accused Iran of violating the truce and ordered “intense strikes” on Tehran.
In the meantime, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran has issued a statement on the “national decision to impose the cessation of war on the Zionist enemy and its vile supporters”.
Iran’s armed forces delivered a “humiliating and exemplary response to the enemy’s cruelty”, the statement said, adding that it culminated in the attack on the US base in Qatar last night and dawn missile strikes on “Israel.”
The council said Tehran responded to attacks on its territory in a proportional and timely manner, and “forced the enemy into regret and accepting defeat and the unilateral cessation of its aggression”.
“The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, without any trust in the words of the enemy and with their hands on the trigger, are ready to deliver a decisive and deterring response to any violating act by the enemy.”
Separately, the U.N. human rights office said on Tuesday that “Israel’s” airstrike on Iran’s Evin prison represents a grave violation of international humanitarian law.
“Evin prison is not a military objective, and targeting it constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law,” U.N. human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday, without naming “Israel”.
He added that his office has received reports of fires inside the facility and an unspecified number of injuries.
