“Israel unleashed a massive bombardment on Israel a day after the US and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement.”
DISPUTED
The claim contains contradictions. The 2026 Iran war entry in Wikipedia explicitly states that the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran in February 2026, leading to a war, not a ceasefire. Additionally, the claim's assertion of Israel bombing Israel is implausible. No evidence supports a US-Iran ceasefire agreement preceding Israeli bombardments.

“The US and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement.”
DISPUTED
The Guardian's cross-reference confirms a provisional ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran in 2025. However, the Wikipedia entry on the 2026 Iran war contradicts this by stating that the US and Israel attacked Iran in February 2026, implying no ceasefire agreement was in place.
