Iran Delivers Strong Warning After Ceasefire
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Iran's Supreme National Security Council has said its army does not trust Israel and is ready to swiftly respond to any attack, according to Iranian state media, amid concerns that the U.S.-brokered ceasefire may not hold. Separately, major General Mohammad Pakpour, the new commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), warned the United States that any additional airstrikes would provoke a retaliation harsher than Iran's missile attack on Al-Udeid base in Qatar the day before. Newsweek has reached out to the Israeli Prime Minister's office, the U.S. State Department and Iran's Foreign Ministry for comment. Why It Matters The fresh warnings out of Tehran came after U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a ceasefire over social media and urged both sides not to violate it. Iran has not publicly rejected the ceasefire but tensions with the U.S. and Israel remain high following a conflict that has stretched over 12 days. Both Iran and Israel have claimed "victory" in the war. Iran has suffered damages to key nuclear and military infrastructure while its missiles have hit deep into Israeli territory. The conflict reached a new peak when the U.S. bombed three nuclear facilities on Sunday, which promoted the Iranian missile attack on Al-Udeid, the largest American military base in the Middle East.

MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP/Getty Images What To Know The Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security body, said the Iranian armed forces, "trusting no words from the enemy and with fingers on the trigger, stand ready to deliver a decisive and punitive response to any hostile action," according to a statement in Persian published by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The council claimed its attacks on the American base, and near-daily targeting of Israel, had forced the ceasefire. The U.S. and Qatar reported no damage or casualties from Iranian ballistic missiles, with military assets evacuated from the base days ahead. "I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured," Trump wrote following Iran's attack. Tehran's latest statement is thought to be a response to Trump's ceasefire. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the announcement but warned his country would "respond forcefully to any violation." What People Are Saying Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei on X: "Iran's military strikes on American military base 'Al-Udeid' was in exercise of our self-defense under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter in response to the United States' unprovoked aggression against Iran's territorial integrity and national sovereignty that took place on 22 June, resolve not to let U.S./Israeli criminal aggressions and malign policies against Iran create division between us and the brotherly countries of the region." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a public statement: "Israel has removed from itself an immediate existential double threat—both in the nuclear domain and in the field of ballistic missiles. Additionally, the [Israel Defense Forces] achieved full air superiority over Tehran's skies, struck a heavy blow to the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central government targets in Iran." U.S. President Donald Trump on Truth Social: "We couldn't have made today's 'deal' without the talent and courage of our great B-2 pilots, and all of those associated with that operation. In a certain and very ironic way, that perfect 'hit,' late in the evening, brought everyone together and the deal was made!!!" What Happens Next It remains to be seen whether both sides will stick to the ceasefire as urged by Trump, paving the way for possible negotiations. Qatar is also discussing how to respond to what it described as a breach of its sovereignty by Iran.
