Snippet: The Iranian regime has announced the end of attacks against Israel, while the US president has claimed both sides ‘want a ceasefire’. This comes after Iran and Israel attacked each other’s territory for the first time since a fragile ceasefire took effect in April. The Israeli strikes are in apparent defiance of Donald Trump, who told Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to retaliate against Iran, in order to avoid derailing peace talks.

Snippet: Iran has been carrying out ballistic missile attacks on Israel and is also seeking to create a crisis in Iraq. One of Iran’s key strategies is not to lose its hold over Iraq – which it has maintained for many years. As such, not only has it been attacking Israel but also striking at Kurdish Iranian opposition groups in Iraq.
