Trump demands Israel and Iran ‘immediately stop shooting’ as fresh strikes imperil ceasefire
The renewed attacks threaten fragile ceasefire talks, with oil prices rising more than 3% as regional tensions widen, officials said.
- President Donald Trump issued an urgent, blunt demand for an end to hostilities, posting on Truth Social that "Israel and Iran must immediately stop 'shooting'" as the two nations engaged in their most severe direct military exchanges since their April ceasefire collapsed.
- The public pressure followed a heavy, multi-wave Iranian ballistic missile barrage targeting Tel Aviv and northern Israel overnight, which saw 22 missiles launched from Iran alongside additional projectiles fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
- Israel retaliated forcefully by launching "Operation Roaring Lion," sending fighter jets to strike military targets across western and central Iran, which the IDF reported successfully dismantled newly deployed Iranian strategic defense systems and damaged a southwestern petrochemical complex.
- Despite the heavy tit-for-tat strikes, Trump later claimed that both sides are "looking to do an immediate ceasefire," asserting that highly sensitive, final back-channel peace negotiations are actively proceeding behind the scenes.
