Trump Demands Israel, Iran Stop Fighting 'Immediately'
"Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting," Trump wrote on his TruthSocial media account.
The blunt call for a ceasefire came as hostilities showed no signs of abating. Earlier Monday, an Israeli airstrike struck a petrochemical facility in southwestern Iran, with Iranian officials confirming partial damage to the industrial complex. Simultaneously, air raid sirens wailed across multiple Israeli cities as Tehran launched fresh missile salvos into Israeli territory.
The current crisis traces back to late February, when the US and Israel conducted coordinated airstrikes on Iran, igniting a sustained cycle of Iranian retaliation against Israel and neighboring countries hosting American military assets.
A temporary ceasefire reached on April 8 briefly interrupted the cycle of violence, but subsequently collapsed amid bitter disputes over its implementation terms and continued deterioration across the broader region.
