Iran Fires Missiles Toward Israel After Trump Tells Netanyahu Not To Attack Iran

Iran fired multiple barrages of missiles toward Israel on Sunday for the first time since a ceasefire took effect in early April, according to the Israeli military and multiple outlets.

The Washington Post described the strikes as “Iran launches missiles at Israel for first time since ceasefire,” while the AP reported that Iran’s state broadcaster confirmed the launches and that Iran closed its western airspace to brace for a possible response.

In response to the escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News, “You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.”

Axios reporter Barak Ravid wrote on X that Trump told him, “I'm calling Netanyahu right now and telling him not to attack Iran in response.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the Israeli military must stop its attacks on Lebanon and warned that if Israel escalates its offensives in Lebanon or responds to Iranian actions, it will face “more crushing and regretful blows,” as the Guardian and other outlets reported.

The Guardian also quoted Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, claiming that the latest military action turned U.S. bases and assets in the region into “legitimate targets.”

Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to show restraint, telling Fox News, “It's certainly not going to help negotiations,” as the Guardian and other reports framed the U.S. position.

The AP added that Israel’s military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said, “Iran has made a grave mistake,” while the military’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said it will “strike the enemy with determination as soon as the order is given.”

The escalation triggered immediate disruptions across the region, with the L’Orient Today live blog saying MEA flights between Lebanon and Iraq on Monday were cancelled due to the security situation while Beirut–Dubai, Riyadh and Amman routes were maintained with adjusted flight paths through Egyptian airspace.

Israel announced closure of all schools across the country after missile fire from Iran, with a joint statement from the Ministry of Education and the Home Front Command saying, “educational activities cannot take place,” as reported by L’Orient Today.

The Guardian reported that oil prices climbed more than 3% amid the escalation, with Brent rising 3.29% to $96.15 a barrel and WTI up 3.25% to $93.48 a barrel.

In parallel, the AP reported that Iran closed its western airspace and that sirens sounded in several areas of Israel, while the U.S. Embassy in Israel directed employees and family members to “shelter in place” until further notice, complicating mediation efforts to end the war.
