US President Donald Trump called on Israel and Iran to stop “shooting” after the two countries exchanged direct attacks for the first time since their April ceasefire. The escalation began after Iran launched missiles toward northern Israel, prompting Israeli air strikes on defence-related targets in western and central Iran. The Israeli military said dozens of fighter jets participated in the operation, while Iran warned that the attacks marked “the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes.” In a later statement, Trump said both sides were “looking to do an immediate ceasefire.” The latest confrontation has raised fresh concerns about stability across the Middle East.
