- Iran fired missiles at Israel, and Israel said it intercepted them and later launched strikes on Iran in response.
- The attacks wounded people in Iran, killed several people in Gaza, and triggered school closures and air travel disruptions across the region.
- Trump said he wanted both sides to stop shooting, while reports said the U.S. told Iran Israel would halt attacks if Iran stopped its missile fire.
- Oil prices rose as the new violence threatened efforts to preserve the ceasefire and restart diplomacy.
