Iran voices doubts about durability of ceasefire with “Israel”, report says
Iran is highly doubtful that “Israel” will maintain the ceasefire that ended an air war between the two sides, Iranian armed forces Chief of Staff told Saudi Arabia’s Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman on Sunday, according to Iranian semi-official Tasnim news agency.
“Since we have complete doubts about the enemy’s (Israel) adherence to its commitments, including the ceasefire, we are prepared to give it a strong response if it repeats the aggression,” Abdolrahim Mousavi said.
“Israel” launched an air war on June 13, attacking Iranian nuclear facilities and killing top military commanders as well as civilians in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq.
Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles on “Israeli military” sites, infrastructure and cities. The United States entered the war on June 22 with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
According to Iran’s health ministry figures, 610 people were killed on the Iranian side in the 12-day war, 13 of them children and 49 women, before a ceasefire went into effect on Tuesday. More than 4,700 were injured.
