| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | Trump tells Iran and Israel to stop 'shooting' after exchange of strikes | | | | | A number of Iranian missiles were fired towards Israel. Credit: Reuters | | Since a ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran was announced on 8 April, it has largely held. That changed on Sunday, as Iran fired missiles towards Israel, which retaliated with its own strikes - the first time both countries have attacked each other since the truce started. Iran launched its attacks after Israel carried out strikes on Beirut in Lebanon, which it says were on Hezbollah targets. The developments show us just how fragile the situation in the region is, our Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega says - and prove just how hard it is for Trump to strike a peace deal with Iran. Now, in a social media post, the US president has urged calm, saying both countries should stop "shooting" at each other. | | | | | | | - Launch footage: Iran has released a video showing missiles being fired towards Israel. Watch it here.
