Riyadh: Iran is highly doubtful that Israel will maintain the ceasefire that ended an air war between the two countries, the Iranian armed forces Chief of Staff told Saudi Arabia's Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman. "Since we have complete doubts about the enemy's (Israel's) adherence to its commitments, including the ceasefire, we are prepared to give it a strong response if it repeats the aggression," Abdolrahim Mousavi said.

According to TRTworld.com, Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman spoke over the phone with Iran's Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi to explore regional developments. Tehran had launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel, resulting in at least 29 fatalities and injuring more than 3,400 people, as per figures released by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The conflict came to a halt under a US-sponsored ceasefire that took effect on June 24.
