Iran and Israel exchange missile attacks for first time since April

On 8 June 2026, Iran and Israel traded strikes for the first time since the truce, then said they had halted the attacks for now. Israel and Iran said the attacks had ceased after Trump pressure, according to the Times of Israel, and Iran and Israel pledged to end attacks that threatened talks. Iran blamed the US for the latest exchanges of fire.

Bloomberg reported that gold steadied after Israel and Iran agreed to end missile strikes. Al Jazeera asked whether the ceasefire is over, and Bennett criticised Netanyahu for 'normalizing' periodic attacks from Iran.
