Iran-Israel trade fire for first time since April ceasefire

Iran and Israel say on June 8, 2026 that hostilities between them had halted, after the two countries exchanged strikes that threatened to reignite the Middle East war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the 'fire on that front is contained' hours after Tehran said it had stopped its military action. Tehran launched missiles at Israel on June 7 over Israel's ongoing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel then struck back, despite efforts by US President Donald Trump to dissuade Netanyahu. That triggered another round of Iranian missiles, before Tehran announced it would cease fire.
