Senior Iranian security official says no missiles fired at Israel after ceasefire went into effect
From CNN’s Fred Pleitgen in Tehran
A senior security official in Iran has told CNN that after 7:30 a.m. local time (12:00 a.m. ET), “no missiles have been fired at the enemy so far.”
In his initial announcement about the Iran-Israel ceasefire, US President Donald Trump said the truce would begin around six hours from his first social media message announcing the breakthrough, which placed the timing close to 12:00 a.m. ET.
“If Israel makes a mistake, all occupied territories will be attacked, just like an hour before the war stopped,” the Iranian official said.

Iranian media denies ceasefire violation
From CNN’s Nadeen Ebrahim
Iranian state-affiliated media outlets denied that Iran fired missiles at Israel after a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect Tuesday morning.
“The news that Iran fired missiles kra36 at the occupied territories after imposing a ceasefire on the Zionist regime is denied,” the semi-official ISNA news agency reported on its Telegram channel Tuesday without attribution. State-linked Nour News also ran the denial.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier that Israel “will respond with force” after Iran’s “utter violation” of the ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump, adding that it will “continue the intensive operation to strike” Tehran.
Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said that “in light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force.”
The Israeli military intercepted two missiles launched from Iran at Israel, an IDF official told CNN.
