Jun 09(Jowhar)- Following the weekend's missile strikes that raised new fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East, both Iran and Israel have stated that the fighting between them has stopped.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "the fire on that side has been contained" just hours after Tehran announced that it had ended its military actions.
Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in response to Israel's ongoing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel retaliated despite U.S. President Donald Trump's attempts to persuade Mr. Netanyahu.
The back-and-forth then turned into another wave of Iranian missiles before Tehran announced it would cease fire.
Iran attempted to link its ceasefire to the U.S. – which has been in effect since April 8 despite both sides attacking – Israel's campaign against Hezbollah, warning that attacks against Lebanon would force it to respond.
Tehran stated yesterday that it would strike again if Israel continued its attacks on Lebanon. Mr. Netanyahu responded to a warning he issued himself, stating that if Iran "makes the mistake of restarting attacks against us, we will respond fully".
Previously, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Israel's campaign in Lebanon would continue regardless and vowed that Israel would strike southern Beirut neighborhoods where Hezbollah is prevalent to retaliate for any attacks on northern Israel.
Mr. Trump, reportedly very angry with Mr. Netanyahu, urged both sides to stop the "shooting" and stated that "the latest peace talks" would proceed "with ignorance or foolishness in the way".
In a televised speech, Mr. Netanyahu stated that he told Mr. Trump that "Israel has the full right to defend itself, and we act as necessary".
