Iran and Israel say they have halted attacks on each other, after exchanging fire for the first time since April’s truce.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday his country was holding fire “at the moment”. But he stressed that the struggle against Iran and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah in Lebanon was “not finished”.
Iran’s military earlier said it had stopped operations following the delivery of a “painful response” to Israel. It pledged “more severe and crushing measures” if Israel carried out more strikes, including in Lebanon.
Separately, President Donald Trump said the crew of a US army helicopter were “fine” after US media reported that a helicopter had crashed in the Strait of Hormuz.
The New York Times said an Apache helicopter with two crew members went down in unclear circumstances and the crew were safely rescued.
