Within hours of President Trump and what remains of the Iranian regime agreeing to a ceasefire after weeks of sustained strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces, reports are emerging that the deal may already be unraveling.
A barrage of rockets hit Tel Aviv Tuesday night, while Iran claimed Wednesday that foreign powers struck one of its oil refineries, prompting retaliatory strikes against Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

"Israel took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced," Fox News' chief foreign correspondent, Trey Yingst, wrote on X early Wednesday morning. "Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8 am. UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack. Iran, via state media, reports strikes against Lavan Island and the oil infrastructure there."
