Iran Doubts Israel's Commitment to Ceasefire

Iran has expressed 'serious doubts' regarding Israel's commitment to the ceasefire, which came into effect on June 24. Simultaneously, it denied reports of threats against the life of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi.

The new Chief of the General Staff of National Defense, Abdolrahim Mousavi, emphasized that Iran is ready for a 'strong response' in case of violation of the ceasefire. Tehran has requested the UN Security Council to recognize Israel and the United States as responsible for the war and to demand compensation.

Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador to the UN, stated that there is no threat against Mr. Grossi and the IAEA inspectors. The Iranian parliament approved a ban on the use of telecommunications means without permission, including access to the internet via Starlink satellites.

According to the latest count, 627 people were killed and 4,900 injured in Iran by Israeli bombings, while Iranian retaliatory strikes killed 28 people in Israel.
