Iran’s military announced on Monday that its first wave of attacks on Israel since a ceasefire in April was now over, although it threatened to resume the strikes if Israel continued attacks on Lebanon.
There was no immediate response from Israel, which had launched attacks on Iran in retaliation after Tehran fired missiles late on Sunday, the first direct strikes between the foes since the ceasefire.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump demanded that Israel and Iran “immediately stop ‘shooting'”.
The flurry of attacks drove oil prices up around 4% and threatened to wreck U.S.-led efforts to broker a deal to end the war.
Israel hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran that it said was used to produce ballistic missiles. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it retaliated with a strike aimed at a similar Israeli plant in the city of Haifa.
