On June 8, the Iranian military announced a halt to operations against Israel, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump called for an immediate ceasefire between the two nations on social media.
According to Yonhap News, the Central Military Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces stated in a local media release that it had inflicted a "painful response" on the "Zionist regime" and declared a cessation of military operations.
The Iranian military command emphasized that, despite the halt in operations, if the aggression and atrocities by the enemy continue, particularly in southern Lebanon and the Dahieh area (a Hezbollah stronghold near Beirut), they would respond with even stronger and more overwhelming measures.
Previously, the Iranian military had launched approximately 30 missiles toward Israel in retaliation for airstrikes on Beirut on June 7.
In response, Israel conducted airstrikes on major Iranian cities, including Tehran, Karaj, and Isfahan, early on June 8.
