Israeli Air Force targets Iranian radar site north of Tehran

An Israeli missile strike on Tehran killed Mohammad Taghi Yousefvand, the commander of intelligence protection for Iran’s Basij paramilitary forces, the IRGC’s Lorestan public relations office said on Tuesday.

The strike took place midday Monday and hit several locations in the capital, the statement said.

Iranian media reported on Tuesday evening that explosions and air defense activity were heard in the northern cities of Babol and Babolsar, near the Caspian Sea.

There are reports Iran's judiciary news outlet Mizan, and Shargh newspaper of explosions being heard in Tehran.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Israel will not carry out further attacks on Iran and that all military aircraft involved in operations would return home, as the ceasefire between the two countries remains in effect.

"All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Donald Trump that he could not cancel a planned military response against Iran following what Israel described as a violation of the newly declared ceasefire, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the exchange.

Iran and Israel should return to the ceasefire and reduce tensions in the Middle East, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday, following US President Donald Trump's statement that both sides had violated the truce.

"I want the ceasefire to continue, and therefore, obviously, the sooner we get back to that, the better," Starmer told reporters as he arrived at the NATO summit in the Netherlands.

"We need to get back to that ceasefire, which is consistent with what I've been saying about de-escalation for quite some time now."
