Introduction

After several military strikes, a ceasefire agreement was reached, which is a crucial step in establishing peace in the Middle East. Nevertheless, within the small period of the ceasefire, Israel has identified the missiles launched by Iran. This article upheld the terms and conditions of the ceasefire that were agreed to be maintained by both Iran and Israel. Afterwards,it will also discuss how Iran has violated the ceasefire and what the plausible implications are in the near future.
What led to the ceasefire mediation by Trump?
Escalation between Iran and Israel
The escalation started on 13th June 2025 after Israel launched several air strikes on Iran that destroyed its military and nuclear infrastructure, with concerns about a hidden weapon strategy. Apart from that, United States President Trump's ceasefire announcement came just a few hours after Iran launched missiles at the US Airbase in Qatar in response to American strikes on its key nuclear sites. Iran has stated that six missiles have been launched, the same number as used in the American strikes named as Operation Midnight Hammer in Fordo.
Trump mediation
On the night of 23rd June 2025, President Trump asserted that bothIran and Israel had agreed to maintain a total and complete ceasefire that could end the 12-day-long catastrophe. Iran also said that it could maintain the decorum of the ceasefire if Israel is ready to maintain the same, and Israel accepted after a few moments. The official ceasefire came into existence on 24th June earlier.

Ceasefire violation and its impact
The allegations against Iran
The truce between Israel and Iran, which has now been identified as the ceasefire, has been violated yet again. According to the latest statement from the Israeli Army on Tuesday, 25th June, the incoming Iranian missiles have been detected. The air raid sirens that go off in Northern Israel. Israel has claimed that Iran launched ballistic missiles. The Israeli minister has ordered the army to respond to the Iranian attack. Hence, Israel has decided to retaliate. The Israeli Army has said that they have detected the incoming Iranian missile despite the ceasefire that had been called.
Complete denial by Iran
The armed forces general of Iran has denied the ceasefire violation on state television. It is absolutely not clear what's going on in Iran. Is there a sort of misstep or some miscalculation? According to Iran, the Iranian command had not actually ordered any kind of strikes again, but Israel is taking it as a deliberate violation of the ceasefire.
Implications of the ceasefire violation
The Defence Minister of Israel, Israel Katz, has promised that there will be significant strikes in
retaliation. Now, the hope of peace and ceasefire depends on precisely what the
Israelis will do.
Will this ceasefire be executed in the future?
Both Israel and Iran have accused each
other of not maintaining the ceasefire agreement. Any kind of steps from the
deployed US military in Qatar and the regional influence in Iran can escalate the tension. Both countries have shown a willingness
to maintain the ceasefire, but it has ultimately gone in vain. Now, the
successful execution of the ceasefire is dependent on reinforcing discipline by
President Trump and urging Israel to stay away from any kind of strikes.
Conclusion
The ceasefire mediated by Donald Trump has been violated by Iran, according to Israel's claims. It underscores the vulnerability of the peace in the Middle East. Moving forward, the entire world is expecting to reinforce peace by ending the brutal fight between Iran and Israel.
