Iranian military says it's stopping strikes on Israel

Iran’s top military command Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters has said in a statement that “the cessation of armed forces operations is hereby announced”.

But they have warned in the same statement that if the attacks continue, “including in southern Lebanon,” Iran will respond “more severe and forceful than before".

Iran started its operations yesterday in response to Israel attacking southern Beirut. Israel retaliated by attacking Iran.

Senior Iranian political and military officials had issued warnings yesterday evening that Iran would respond militarily to what they described as breaches of ceasefire.

Iran has maintained that they see the ceasefire in Lebanon as part of the ceasefire with Iran as well.
