U.S. President Donald Trump speaks by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday after the first exchange of fire between Israel and Iran since an April ceasefire, according to a White House official. The call comes as multiple reports describe a strained tone in recent Trump-Netanyahu communication. In earlier days, Trump has used critical language about Netanyahu during another phone call, and on Monday Trump urged both sides to stop fighting. Iran launches missiles toward Israel overnight, and Israel responds by targeting military sites in Iran, prompting renewed concern about escalation into a broader conflict. Trump writes on social media that “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting’.” The White House confirms the Trump-Netanyahu conversation but does not provide further details on what was discussed. Both outlets frame the developments as a test of the April ceasefire and an immediate increase in hostilities between Israel and Iran.
