AI Summary
Iran launched its first direct missile attack on Israel since an April ceasefire, reportedly in retaliation for Israeli raids on Beirut's suburbs. President Trump is urging Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not to retaliate, warning that continued escalation would perpetuate an endless cycle of conflict and jeopardize negotiations he considers near completion. Israel, however, has signaled its intention to respond militarily to the attack, raising questions about whether a fragile ceasefire and diplomatic agreement can survive.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they were attacking the headquarters of "terrorist groups" in Iraqi Kurdistan.
