U.S. President Donald Trump calls on Israel and Iran to halt their attacks after a renewed exchange of fire between the two countries. Multiple outlets report that Trump makes his remarks in his first public comments following overnight strikes, including posts on Truth Social. The renewed confrontation follows what sources describe as a two-month ceasefire that was reached in early April, with reporting saying this is the first direct exchange of military strikes since that truce began. Several accounts also link the escalation to wider regional involvement, including actions by militant groups. CBS News reports that regional militant groups become involved as the broader conflict continues, noting the fighting has lasted about 101 days. Other reports focus on Israel’s actions in Lebanon and Tehran’s support for Hezbollah, describing how the situation strains the ceasefire. While outlets agree that Trump urges both sides to stop shooting immediately, CBS News adds that he also calls for an immediate ceasefire and says both parties are seeking one. Overall, the coverage depicts Trump’s intervention as aimed at de-escalating after renewed Israel-Iran strikes threaten a brittle, ongoing truce.
