A ceasefire between Iran and Israel that was supposed to start at midnight Eastern Daylight Time has already been violated by Iran, as reported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Just 18 minutes after midnight EDT, they announced that sirens had been activated in Israel following a missile launch from Iran.
🚨BREAKING: 28 minutes after the ceasefire began, additional launches from Iran were detected.
Israeli airspace was closed until further notice.

However, Iran claims that the ceasefire did start at the appointed time – Tehran is seven and a half hours ahead of Washington, DC.
🚨 The Iranian news agency ‘Fars’, linked to the Iranian regime, claimed that “following the recent Iranian missile attack and a number of casualties, the ceasefire commenced at 7:30 a.m., Tehran time.”

Not sure if they’re going to claim that their clocks weren’t synced or what the explanation will be for these time discrepancies.
Earlier, a ballistic missile struck Beersheba where, at the time of reporting, four people were reportedly killed (based on information from former IDF soldier Eli Afriat) and several individuals were rescued from the debris.
