Iran and Israel to pause strikes but warn of retaliation if ceasefire breached again | BBC News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country will hold off on attacking Iran “for now”, but warns Israel will respond “forcefully” if strikes resume.

Both sides have promised to retaliate if fighting begins again, and Iran has warned of a “severe” response if the Israel Defence Forces continues striking southern Lebanon.

The pause in hostilities follows calls from US President Donald Trump for both sides to stop “shooting”.
