Trump urges Israel and Iran to ceasefire

U.S. President Donald Trump
has called for a ceasefire between
Israel and Iran amid escalating
conflict. The tensions began
when Israel conducted airstrikes
on Iran’s nuclear facilities,
aiming to hinder Iran’s nuclear
capabilities. In retaliation, Iran
launched missiles at Israel, some
of which were intercepted by
Israel’s defense systems—some
of which were not intercepted.
The situation further intensified
when the U.S. carried out
airstrikes on Tehran’s nuclear
research facilities.
U.S. airstrikes did not destroy
Iran’s nuclear capability and
only set it back by a few months,
according to a preliminary U.S.
intelligence assessment, as a
shaky ceasefire brokered by U.S.
President Donald Trump took
hold between Iran and Israel.
