How real is the escalation of the conflict

On June 24, Trump announced that the truce between Iran and Israel had entered into force. According to him, a "complete and total ceasefire" will first be announced for 12 hours, then the conflict will be considered over.

Later, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recorded rocket launches from Iran after the ceasefire was announced. It is specified that a few hours after the missile hit Beersheba, additional launches from Iran were recorded in the northern region. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz then stated that he had instructed the IDF to strike Tehran in response to the shelling from Iran after the ceasefire was announced.
