Iran confirms it fired missiles at Israel base Iran's military command announced the suspension of its operations against Israel, after the two sides exchanged fire for the first time since the ceasefire came into force in April, this Monday (8). ✅ Follow the g1 international news channel on WhatsApp In a statement released by state TV, Khatam al-Anbiya's command stated that the regime gave a "painful response" to the Israeli government: "The cessation of operations by the armed forces is announced. However, it is emphasized that, if acts of aggression and hostility continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and repressive measures than previous ones will be taken." On the social network X, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the country continues to seek a diplomatic solution, but does not rule out new military interventions: "Our priority is national security and the tranquility of the people. We defend the nation's rights with authority and will not retreat in the face of any threat. Diplomacy and defense are the two wings of national power; we neither abandon the battlefield nor the negotiating table. With God's help, with unity and rationality, Iran will emerge victorious from this test as well." Initial plugin text The imminent end of attacks between the two countries had been announced shortly before by the President of the United States, Donald Trump. On the Truth Social network, after showing his dissatisfaction with the return of clashes and calling for the immediate return of the truce in the war, he said that a ceasefire was being sought and criticized the "stupidity" that has been hindering negotiations for an agreement to end the war. "Both sides, Israel and Iran, are seeking an immediate ceasefire! Final 'peace' negotiations are ongoing, subject to ignorance or stupidity derailing them. The blockade will remain in force, with all its force and effect, until a 'final agreement' is reached. Things must move quickly," he said. Despite Trump's statements, earlier on Monday, the Iranian diplomatic spokesman stated that the US bears direct responsibility for the recent ceasefire violations. According to Esmaeil Baghaei, the new attacks only worsen the "chaotic diplomatic process" with the United States and further increase Tehran's distrust of Washington. For him, Israel does not take independent measures without consulting Washington.

Explosions were heard in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan, according to Al Jazeera TV network. The bombings represent an escalation of warfare in the region and the definitive breach of the ceasefire established in April in the region. It is the first time since April that Israel and Iran have attacked each other. This is also the second time in less than 24 hours that Israel has challenged Donald Trump and carried out attacks on countries in the region. "The Israeli Air Force attacked military targets belonging to the Iranian terrorist regime in western and central Iran recently," the Israeli forces said on their social media. Trump tried to establish a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which operates in Lebanon, during the week. Israel violated the agreement, however, by bombing Beirut. Following Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, Iran launched a series of missiles towards Israel this Sunday (7). US President Donald Trump then called Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, asking for there to be no military response against Tehran. Speaking to the Financial Times newspaper, Trump said that Netanyahu had "no option" but to accept the peace agreement between Washington and Tehran, as it is he, Trump, who "calls the shots" — the agreement is in the negotiation phase and has not yet been signed. "We're close to a final [peace] deal with Iran, I don't want to screw it up because of what's going on right now," Trump said earlier on Axios. There are no reports of injuries from Iranian bombings.

Shortly after the wave of missiles, Netanyahu said he would counterattack Iran's retaliation. Trump, however, spoke out against the retaliation. US bases become targets The Israeli attack, which broke the truce in Lebanon, hit buildings in a Beirut suburb that Israel said housed Hezbollah terrorists planning an attack. Iran said that the 19 US bases in the Middle East were once again "legitimate targets" — the US has military bases in countries in the region such as the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt (see map below). The threat was also extended to Israeli assets in the region. Following Tehran's demonstration, Iraq said it would close its airspace and suspend aircraft navigation services for 72 hours. Iran also closed its airspace. The announcement was made by Iran's main negotiator in talks with the US, Mohammad Qalibaf, who is also president of the Iranian Parliament and one of the central figures of power in the country. "They are not committed to a ceasefire nor do they believe in dialogue and, through the naval blockade and violation of agreements relating to Lebanon, they have demonstrated that they only understand the language of power," Qalibaf said in a post on his social media.

Kayan Albertin/Arte g1 Challenge to Trump Israel's attack on Lebanon was also a challenge to US President Donald Trump, who assured last week that Israel would not bomb Lebanon again. The disagreements between allies the USA and Israel over Lebanon even generated a discussion between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The US president confirmed that he had called Netanayhu "completely crazy" because of Israel's attacks in Lebanon and criticized the incursions. Trump was referring to the constant attacks that Israel has made on neighboring Lebanon amid the ceasefire in force in the Middle East conflict. Pakistan, which mediated the negotiations, and Iran insist that Lebanon was included in the truce, while the US and Israel insist that only attacks on Iranian territory and the Persian Gulf countries. Furthermore, last week, the American president stated that Israel and the terrorist group Hezbollah agreed to a truce in attacks in Lebanon and northern Israeli territory. Israel fights in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist group that is financed by Iran and carries out constant attacks in northern Israel.
