Iran and Israel bomb each other: Is the ceasefire over?

Key points

• Analysts say both sides are pushing the ceasefire to its limits while seeking greater leverage.
• Israel launched attacks across Iran overnight, with explosions reported in Tehran, Tabriz, Karaj and Isfahan, marking the most serious escalation between the two countries since a fragile ceasefire took hold in April.
• The attacks came hours after Iran fired a wave of missiles towards northern Israel, accusing Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire through its ongoing military operations in Lebanon – which Israel says are targeting the armed group Hezbollah, Tehran’s closest ally in the country.
• On Monday, US President Donald Trump called on both sides to stop attacking each other.
• “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting’,” he said in a brief post on his Truth Social platform.
