Israel and Iran exchange fire on Monday, despite a US call for restraint by President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports. Israel’s military and Iranian local media say Israel strikes a petrochemical company in Mahshahr, in southwestern Iran. Other accounts describe further attacks and explosions, including sounds reported over Jerusalem. In response, Israel says it intercepts a new wave of Iranian missiles, while Iranian and Israeli statements characterize the exchanges as retaliatory and linked to earlier missile fire. The renewed firing is reported to stress a fragile truce between the two sides and reduce prospects for negotiations aimed at ending the wider conflict in the Middle East. The timing is noted by outlets as coming hours after Trump urges Israel not to retaliate against missiles from Tehran. AFP journalists in Jerusalem report explosions as they take shelter, aligning with claims of incoming missile activity and interception efforts. The reports collectively indicate continued military tensions and escalatory risk even as diplomatic efforts are discussed.
