The call for the strike follows an announcement by the Israeli military that it had detected missile launches from Iran towards Israel, which it said it was working to shoot down after detecting the launch.
Iran has denied violating the ceasefire, with the general staff of the Iranian army denying the "launch of missiles from Iran to the occupied territories" in the "last few hours", according to Iran's Nour News.
Despite this, Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said: "In light of Iran's blatant violation of the ceasefire declared by the President of the United States – through the launch of missiles toward Israel – and in accordance with the Israeli government's policy to respond forcefully to any breach, I have instructed the IDF […] to continue high-intensity operations targeting regime assets and terror infrastructure in Tehran."
While both Israel and Iran, the latter of which has always said its nuclear programme was peaceful, confirmed the earlier ceasefire following Trump's announcement, sending global stock markets higher and oil prices lower, these recent developments raise early doubts about the ceasefire.
