Israel and Iran have exchanged long-range missile strikes, marking the first such incident since a ceasefire was implemented two months ago. This escalation has raised concerns about the potential for renewed conflict in the region.
Despite this exchange, both nations seem to have reached an agreement to halt further attacks. The situation, however, has prompted fears of a return to full-scale combat.
Efforts to restore peace are underway. Former President Trump, along with regional mediators, is actively working to secure a deal aimed at ending hostilities with Iran.
