Iran declares halt to attacks amid conflicting statements on future strikes

Iran's armed forces have declared a halt to military operations against Israel, following the first exchange of strikes between the two nations since April's ceasefire. The Khatam ol-Anbiya command asserted Iran delivered a "painful response" and cautioned Israel against further attacks, including in southern Lebanon. However, conflicting reports from the same outlet cited Iran releasing missile footage and stating these attacks were "the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes," which contradicts the claim of a halt. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking military targets in western and central Iran, but did not detail the extent of damage or specific locations. Former US President Donald Trump had reportedly urged Israel not to retaliate.
