• New escalation: The Israeli military says it intercepted waves of missiles fired from Iran for the first time since early April, and Israeli sources vowed the country will deliver a “powerful” response. Tehran said it would launch further attacks if Israel continues its offensive in Lebanon, where a deadly Israeli strike hit Beirut on Sunday amid fighting with Iran-backed Hezbollah.
• Trump’s response: US President Donald Trump told Fox News the Iranian strikes are “certainly not going to help” negotiations on ending the war. Trump told Tehran to “get back to the table and make a deal.”
• Israel “won’t have any choice”: Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have to accept any deal the US reaches with Iran, telling The Financial Times, “I call all the shots.” Trump also told Axios he would urge Israel not to retaliate against Iran.
