Iran and Israel trade attacks as Trump’s war passes 100 days

Iran and Israel traded missile attacks, marking the first direct strikes since a U.S. ceasefire with Tehran two months ago. These hostilities threaten to drag the Middle East into full-scale war. Iran attempted to use its leverage with President Donald Trump, who seeks a nuclear deal, to protect its Lebanese proxy forces from Israeli retaliation. Following the weekend missile wave, Trump informed Axios that he would call Israeli officials regarding the escalating regional conflict.
