Iran Strikes Israel in Response to Ceasefire Violations, Says Ambassador

Iran's armed forces launched strikes against military targets in northern occupied Palestine, asserting the action was a direct response to repeated violations of an April 8, 2026, ceasefire and continued Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Iran. The Iranian Embassy in Indonesia stated that these aggressions included Israeli cooperation with the U.S. military in attacks on Iranian ships and alleged maritime piracy over the past two weeks.
