Iran Revolutionary Guards say fired missiles at Israel in 'final moments before ceasefire'

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Tuesday that they had taught Israel an "unforgettable lesson" with a last-minute missile salvo fired just before a ceasefire deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump was meant to take effect.

The Guards said in a statement that "in the final moments before the ceasefire was imposed on the enemy", they had struck "military and logistical centers of the Zionist regime across the occupied territories (Israel) with 14 missiles, delivering a historic and unforgettable lesson to the Zionist enemy".

Iran on Tuesday denied it launched missiles at Israel in the "last few hours", after Israel accused it of doing so.

The general staff of the Iranian army "denied the launch of missiles from Iran to the occupied territories (Israel) in the last few hours", state television reported.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz had earlier said Israel would "respond forcefully to Iran's violation of the ceasefire" after the military reported incoming Iranian missiles.

Iran's armed forces accused Israel of launching strikes at the Islamic republic until Tuesday morning.

"The Zionist regime launched three waves of attacks on sites in Iranian territory until 9:00 am (0530 GMT) today," a spokesman for the armed forces command was quoted as saying on state TV, without providing further details.
