Iran and Israel have announced a halt to attacks after exchanging fire for the first time since an April ceasefire. Iran launched around 30 missiles at Israel in response to an Israeli strike in Beirut, while Israel carried out air strikes on military targets in Iran. Iran said it had delivered a "painful response" and warned of stronger action if Israel attacks Lebanon again. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is holding fire for now but will respond to any future attacks. The pause came after US President Donald Trump urged both sides to stop fighting immediately. (PC: Reuters)
