Middle East: ceasefire and negotiations put to the test
The highlights
NIGHT OF STRIKES
Israel carried out air strikes against Iran on Monday, despite calls for restraint from Donald Trump, after being the target of missiles from the Islamic Republic for the first time since the establishment of the truce in the Middle East.
After 100 days of war and two months after the entry into force of an already very weakened ceasefire, the region threatens to flare up again, although the American president assures that he wants to negotiate an agreement with Tehran.
The army had previously warned that it would strike Iran “with force” in retaliation for the firing towards Israel of two waves of missiles fired from Iran, all of which it said were intercepted.
Tehran had presented these attacks as a “warning”, in retaliation for an Israeli bombing on the southern suburbs of Beirut, stronghold of the pro-Iranian Islamist movement Hezbollah, leaving two dead and 20 injured despite a truce theoretically concluded between Lebanon and Israel but widely flouted.

TWO TARGETED AIR BASES
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that they would strike two air bases in Israel, those of Nevatim and Tol Nof.
“The operation was carried out in response to the missile attack perpetrated by the Zionist regime (…) against several radar sites located in three different locations” in Iran, indicated the Ideological Army of the Islamic Republic in a press release.
ISRAEL STRIKES IRANIAN PETROCHEMICAL SITE
Israel says it has struck the Iranian petrochemical site of Mahshahr, larger than 1,700 hectares, located in the southwest of Iran, next to the Imam Khomeini port.
