Following a two-month ceasefire, Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes over the weekend. Iran's armed forces announced a halt to military operations against Israel, stating they delivered a "painful response."

Former US President Donald Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further retaliation. This marks the first direct exchange of fire between the two nations since April.
