Because it was an agreement that could never be concluded again with Israel and Hamas. But one source said that the situation remains critical. Nothing can be said. According to intelligence information received in the last 24 hours, Iran had not decided which day it would carry out the attack in the last week. Because it was under international pressure.
Iran had said it would respond in time, the ceasefire would not be affected
Supreme Leader Khamenei was postponing the attack. Or they were reducing the intensity of the attack on Israel. But Iran said in a statement to the United Nations on Friday that our response will be received in time. It will be achieved in such a way that it will have no impact on the ceasefire. But Israeli Defense Minister Gallant spoke to the US Secretary of Defense about this. He told them how Iran is preparing for what could be a large-scale attack.
Following this, Austin sent the guided missile submarine USS Georgia to the Middle East. The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group was also sent. So that it can replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt Strike Group deployed in the Middle East. The Roosevelt Strike Group will now return to the United States.
For a week now, the administration of US President Joe Biden has been trying to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas so that the hostage can be rescued and taken to safe places. But on Sunday, August 11, Hamas rejected the invitation of the United States, Qatar and Egypt to a ceasefire agreement.

Who will strike first… probably Hezbollah?
Meanwhile, Israeli intelligence has received information that the first attack will be carried out by Hezbollah. Because its top commander was killed in the Israeli attack in Beirut. After this, Iran will join this attack. This attack will be against Israel on a large scale. Many times more powerful than the attack launched by Iran in April. Because Hezbollah’s drones and homemade missiles are quite deadly.
Taking advantage of this attack, Iran will attack important Israeli targets with its powerful missiles. The Israeli Defense Minister also fears that this time Hezbollah’s attack will be more dangerous.
