Iran declares an end to attacks on Israel

According to media reports, after Iran’s latest missile attacks on Israel, US President Donald Trump wants to call on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliatory strikes against Tehran. Trump had announced a corresponding phone call with Netanyahu, a reporter from the news portal “Axios” reported on X. The Israeli broadcaster Kan also reported that Trump wanted Israel not to react to the attacks. “Israel has reacted enough,” Trump told a correspondent for the station.

Trump is likely to continue to hope to conclude a framework agreement with Tehran. “What I would advise Iran: You have fired your missiles, that is enough. Return to the negotiating table and conclude an agreement,” he said, according to US broadcaster Fox News. A public statement from the White House was initially pending.

According to Fox News, Trump indicated that negotiations with Iran were moving toward a possible agreement. This could be achieved “on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week,” it said. Meanwhile, with regard to the recent Israeli attacks in Lebanon, the president said: “I’m not happy about it.”

Late on Sunday evening, Iran fired several volleys of rockets at Israel. According to the Israeli military, all rockets in the first waves were intercepted, and additional rocket attacks were identified at the same time. The air defense is in action. (sda/dpa)
