Sirens blared early Monday morning in Tel Aviv and throughout central Israel, including Jerusalem, as Iran and one of its proxies, the Houthis in Yemen, fired a number of ballistic missiles.
The fighting is interconnected. Hezbollah’s persistent firing of missiles and drones from southern Lebanon into northern Israel prompted the Israeli military to target Hezbollah’s stronghold in Beirut. Tehran then claimed it was justified in firing on Israel itself.
President Trump is eager to keep negotiations going and told Fox News, “What I would suggest to Iran: you’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.”

He reportedly spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone, asking him not to respond to the Iranian attack, later posting, “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.'”
He also told The Financial Times, “The attacks on Israel have not changed my desire to complete the negotiations with Iran…we’re gonna make a great deal.”
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee posted on X, “Missile alerts sounded at 6 a.m. in Jerusalem. They were intercepted, thank God! Iran & its proxy agents of evil want to incinerate America and Israel. Mothership of Satan is Tehran.
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter wrote, “Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel.”
