TEL AVIV—Iran and Israel ended multiple exchanges of fire Monday but left open the possibility of resuming attacks that pressured President Trump’s fragile Middle East ceasefire.
Trump had intervened in the violent, hourslong back-and-forth, saying Israel and Iran must immediately stop “shooting” and declaring that both countries wanted an immediate ceasefire.
Shortly afterward, Iran’s military headquarters said it was ending operations by its armed forces against Israel, having “delivered a painful response” to that country.
“Should aggression and hostile actions continue—including in southern Lebanon—far more severe and forceful measures than before will follow,” it said, according to Iranian state media.
