ট্রাম্পের আহ্বানের পর হামলা বন্ধ করল ইরান ও ইসরায়েল

The risk of a full-scale regional war in the Middle East has diminished as Iran and Israel have stopped attacking each other following US President Donald Trump's call for an 'immediate ceasefire.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the halt in fighting with Iran in a televised speech but vowed to respond forcefully to any future attacks. Iran's top military command, Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters, also announced a temporary halt in attacks but warned of retaliation if Israel strikes again.

Background and Recent Tensions

The recent Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli airstrikes on Iran marked the largest direct conflict between the two nations since a ceasefire in April. Additionally, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted Israel, further escalating tensions. Analysts warn that the current ceasefire is fragile and could be broken at any moment due to ongoing conflicts and disputes, particularly regarding Lebanon's Hezbollah.
