Iran breaks ceasefire with missile barrage at Israel

Iran has launched a wave of missiles at Israel, declaring it 'a full week' of strikes and breaking an April ceasefire, after Israel bombed Beirut and killed at least two people. Israel has responded with strikes on Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan, while Trump — who told the FT he 'calls the shots' — is pressing Netanyahu to accept a deal and not retaliate further. Oil prices jumped immediately as traders priced in the risk of a return to all-out Middle East conflict.
