Iran & Israel trade largest strikes since April: Did Netanyahu defy Trump?

0 June 8, 2026 09:07

Israel and Iran are trading strikes in the worst escalation since the April truce — a major test for negotiations. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis also fired a missile toward Israel.

President Donald Trump urged Israel and Iran to “stop ‘shooting’,” as the attacks threatened his fragile attempts at diplomacy. He later said the countries were aiming for a ceasefire while he insisted a deal is close.

CNN Jerusalem bureau chief Oren Liebermann has the latest on the renewed fighting, and CNN senior international correspondent Fred Pleitgen reports from Tehran. Also, CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton has background on what led up to Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Israel.
