Iran Launches Missiles At Israel Immediately After Ceasefire
Iran launched a fresh barrage of missiles at Israel Tuesday night just moments after President Donald Trump announced a two-week halt on U.S. strikes against Tehran.
Trump said late Tuesday that he had agreed to extend his deadline on Iran by two weeks, temporarily pausing American military action as negotiations continue. But despite the pause, warning sirens blared across Israel almost immediately after the president’s announcement on Truth Social.
Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin, reporting live from Tel Aviv, said the Iranian missile barrage began within minutes of Trump’s post.
“Jesse, as soon as we got the ceasefire, we got a bunch of missile fire. [It] wasn’t five minutes from the Truth Social post to the point where the phones started alerting that missiles had launched from Iran. The first of the missiles was intercepted, and the shrapnel landed outside of Jerusalem, not causing any problems,” Tobin told Jesse Watters.
“What we saw here in Tel Aviv were these cluster bombs, like you see on your screen right now. They break up and look a bit like a 4th of July firework and usually has one bright point that comes streaking down to earth, but the bomblets themselves, they shine bright when they first break up, then they get dark as they cool off, and then they explode when they hit the ground, and it looks like I’m getting an alert for one more missile.”

The latest strike appeared to underscore the fragile nature of the tentative ceasefire arrangement, even as Israeli officials signaled they would comply with Trump’s request for restraint.
Tobin said Israeli leaders remain unhappy with Tehran’s latest diplomatic offer and believe more military objectives should have been completed before any ceasefire took effect.
“Now, as far as the ceasefire agreement itself, what we’re hearing from Israeli officials is that they wanted to see more objectives achieved in this war before there was a ceasefire. They’re not particularly pleased with the proposals from the Iranians in this 10-point proposal, but they say they will abide by the ceasefire, and it is President Trump’s decision to make,” Tobin said.
Trump had previously escalated his rhetoric over the weekend, warning on Easter Sunday that Iranians would “be living in Hell” if the regime failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The president also said Monday he was unconcerned by accusations regarding potential war crimes tied to military operations in Iran.
