Iran Breaks the Ceasefire — Missiles, Counterstrikes, and Trump’s Pressure to Stand Down
Today's lead: Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire — over 20 launched at northern Israel overnight, triggering IDF counterstrikes on Iranian air defenses and fuel targets. Iran has since announced an end to operations; Israel halted further strikes at Trump's request. The exchange marks the most serious ceasefire violation in two months and exposes the fragility of the U.S.-brokered truce.
