The strikes come after sources told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that Israeli officials were still deciding when and how hard to hit Iran, noting that a significant Israeli response to Tehran’s ceasefire breach was expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC<\/a>) claimed that the strikes were carried out using air-launched ballistic missiles, according to Iranian IRNA state media.<\/p>\n

Iran had threatened to attack Israel following an earlier IDF strike on Beirut<\/a>, which itself was retaliation for continued Hezbollah ceasefire breaches.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Monday, a United States official told Axios that he did not expect an imminent Israeli retaliation against Iran.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think anything is imminent in terms of an Israeli strike,” he said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump<\/a> asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid striking Iran, N12 news reported.<\/p>\n

“Israel has responded enough, no need for more,” Trump additionally told KAN News.<\/p>\n

Trump told Axios later on Sunday that the US is “very close to a final deal with Iran.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t want it to blow up because of what is happening now,” he said.<\/p>\n

“If Netanyahu strikes them back, it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or last 3,000 years,” added Trump, noting that the Iranian attack on Israel “didn’t hurt anybody.”<\/p>\n
