Israel, Iran trade fire despite Trump's call for restraint
Israel and Iran traded fire on Monday, seriously testing a fragile truce and threatening hopes for a deal to end the Middle East war. The new attacks, including a strike on an Iranian petrochemical complex, came hours after US President Donald Trump called on Israel to refrain from retaliating against Tehran’s missiles. AFP journalists in Jerusalem heard a series of explosions as they took shelter and the Israeli army said it worked to intercept a new wave of Iranian missiles
Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated on Monday as both nations exchanged fire, undermining recent efforts to establish a lasting ceasefire in the region. Israel conducted strikes against Iranian military targets and a petrochemical facility in Mahshahr, while Iran launched a series of ballistic missiles toward Israeli territory. These hostilities occurred shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump publicly urged Israel to exercise restraint and avoid further retaliation. Despite the ongoing violence, President Trump maintained that the current instability would not derail his administration's broader peace negotiations with Tehran. The renewed conflict triggered a notable increase in global oil prices, with Brent crude rising above $96 per barrel. Meanwhile, the Israeli military reported intercepting incoming fire from both Iran and Yemen, signaling a widening scope of the regional confrontation.
The direct military exchange between Israel and Iran threatens to destabilize the Middle East and complicates U.S.-led diplomatic efforts to secure a comprehensive regional peace deal.
