Iran has been firing missiles at its Gulf neighbors throughout the cease-fire, but refrained from hitting Israel until now. If Iran thinks it can circumvent the ‘ceasefire” by hitting Israel, they are sadly mistaken.
Israel struck several military targets in Iran on Sunday, hours after the Islamic Republic launched a barrage launched a number of ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night for the first time since the U.S. and Iran reached a tenuous ceasefire in early April.
The Israeli Defense Forces said its air force struck targets “belonging to the Iranian terror regime” in western and central Iran in a statement on X Sunday evening.
Iran state media separately reported that explosions were heard in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan after Israel fired “air-launched ballistic missiles,” citing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The Israeli military hit Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites and non-energy infrastructure, Israel’s ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, said.
Axios: President Trump told Axios he was going to callIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and press him not to retaliate for Iran’s missile attack.
“I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,” Trump said. Why it matters: The ceasefire in the Middle East is teetering after Israel struck Beirut and Iran fired multiple waves of missiles in response. Trump is racing to stop the escalations from killing his hopes at a lasting deal with Iran. Netanyahu’s answer will measure how much sway the American president still holds over Israel. Driving the news: Iran fired missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. It’s Iran’s first direct attack since the April 8 ceasefire. Israel says it has intercepted the missiles. Trump’s demand that Israel not retaliate is highly unusual. Without U.S. support, any Israeli strike in Iran will be much more difficult and risky. A U.S. official told Axios: “We are not part of this,” but it is unclear whether Trump will order the U.S. military not to assist Israel in a strike in Iran, especially when it comes to air refueling and other kinds of military coordination. (Axios.)
Late Sunday night, Israel bombed northern and Western Iran in retaliation for missile strikes.
Would America tolerate this? Of course not. So why should Israel have to tolerate missile attacks from Iran? Israel is a sovereign state and has every right and duty to defend itself. President Trump must stop the asinine nuke negotiations with Iran, and allow the U.S and Israeli Air forces to finish off Iran’s leaders for good.

Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel.

Israel strikes Iran military targets after Iranian missile attack
By Axios, June 7th, 2026
The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on military targets in central and Western Iran on Monday morning local time, Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
Why it matters: The strikes, in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack against Israel, mark a new phase in a growing escalation that started on Sunday morning. This is the first time Israel has struck Iran since the April 8 ceasefire
The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes on military targets in central and Western Iran on Monday morning local time, Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Why it matters: The strikes, in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack against Israel, mark a new phase in a growing escalation that started on Sunday morning. This is the first time Israel has struck Iran since the April 8 ceasefire. Iran had threatened to expand its attacks and target U.S. bases in the region if Israel retaliated. Further exchanges of fire could unravel the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and lead to the resumption of the war. President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu several hours before the strikes to stand down and refrain from retaliating. State of play: Explosions were heard in the Iranian cities of Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Tabriz and Kermanshah, according to Iranian state media. A U.S. official said the Israel strikes were “relatively limited” in their scope. (Axios.)

As per Iranian opposition news, Israeli Air Forces targeted an underground command and control center in Kermanshah, this morning in retaliatory strike against Iran. Reports claim that multiple senior IRGC officials were killed while discussing attack plans.
NY Post: Nearly two hours later, the Israel Air Force said that it was intercepting a missile “from the direction of Yemen toward Israeli territory.”
Iran bombards Israel with missiles, threatening to reignite all-out conflict
A missile hasn’t been launched from Yemen at Israel since April 4 – just four days before the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire between the US and Iran went into effect.
Earlier, Iran fired at least 10 missiles at Israel, all of which were intercepted. Iranian officials claimed responsibility and asserted the attack was in response to Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon that morning.
Israel’s strike violated its delicate cease-fire with Lebanon. Both countries agreed to the US-brokered cease-fire last week, but Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah rejected it.
Financial Times that he’s still the one “calling the shots.”
“He won’t have any choice,” Trump said.
Israel, however, has insisted on maintaining its military presence in Lebanon despite US officials’ demands for deescalation.
On Sunday, IDF officials defiantly announced they would “continue to operate” and “intensify its actions against the Hezbollah terrorist organization” in Lebanon, even though Israel agreed to a cease-fire that stipulated a decrease in hostility between the warring countries.
