Iran and Israel bomb each other: Is the ceasefire over?

Israel launched attacks across Iran overnight, with explosions reported in Tehran , Tabriz, Karaj and Isfahan, marking the most serious escalation between the two countries since a fragile ceasefire took hold in April.

The attacks came hours after Iran fired a wave of missiles towards northern Israel, accusing Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire through its ongoing military operations in Lebanon – which Israel says are targeting the armed group Hezbollah, Tehran’s closest ally in the country.

On Monday, US President Donald Trump called on both sides to stop attacking each other.

“Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting’,” he said in a brief post on his Truth Social platform. Analysts say a major disagreement between the US and Israel over how to handle talks with Iran may be emerging.

Tensions have been building for days. On Sunday, Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing at least two people and wounding 20, despite another United States-led “ ceasefire ” announced jointly by Israel and Lebanon on June 4.

Hours after those attacks, Iran launched missiles towards northern Israel in what Tehran described as retaliation for the Beirut attack. These were largely intercepted, according to reports, with debris falling as far away as Jordan and the West Bank en route to Israel.

Israel responded with overnight attacks on central and western Iran, while Tehran has since launched a second wave of attacks.

According to Israeli media outlet Haaretz, Iran has launched about 30 ballistic missiles in total since Sunday night.
