Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, hitting a petrochemical plant and other targets in Tehran, after Iran fired missiles at Israel. The attacks came despite a direct warning from U.S. President Donald Trump, who had urged Israel to avoid escalation and defended a ceasefire. Trump publicly rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Israel “doesn’t call the shots” and that the strikes risked undermining peace talks. The exchange highlights growing tension between the two allies over how to handle Iran.
