Trump and Bibi Are Fighting
Iran and Israel resumed hostilities after a two‑month ceasefire, with Iran launching ballistic missiles at Israeli targets and Israel responding with airstrikes on Iranian facilities. The Iranian attacks were triggered by an Israeli strike on Hezbollah positions near Beirut, highlighting the broader regional dynamics involving the Lebanese militant group.
