israel adn Iran reportedly agreed to stop direct strikes on each other,allegedly at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump. Israel\u2019s Channel 12 said Israel would halt attacks on Iran while continuing strikes in southern Lebanon \u201cat full strength,\u201d including attacks on the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh if attacks on Israeli settlements and citizens persist.<\/p>\n

The report aligns with an NBC News claim that Iran declared an end to its military operations against Israel. Trump also posted that a ceasefire was imminent and demanded that both Israel and Iran stop firing missiles<\/a> at each other.<\/p>\n

Despite the apparent d\u00e9tente,the ceasefire had been fraying: Israel hit Hezbollah targets in Beirut,and Iran retaliated with missile fire toward Israel-the first direct Iranian missile attack since the April ceasefire began. Trump reportedly urged Israel not to retaliate further after Iran\u2019s attack.Even after the Iran-Israel end to direct hostilities was reported, Israel continued military actions in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports Iran warned it could carry out even more severe retaliatory strikes if Israel keeps attacking Lebanon. <\/p>\n
