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.
