Iran bombarded Israel with missiles Sunday — threatening to reignite all-out conflict between both sides as President Trump warned them to knock it off.
The attack — which involved about four waves of a total of 10 missiles in northern Israel in under an hour— was the first on Israel since a fragile ceasefire took effect in April.
It occurred less than a day after Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs, aiming for the Iranian-allied Hezbollah terror group.
“Tonight, the aggressors received their response,” said Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, on social media.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for at least one ballistic missile strike on the Ramat David air base in northern Israel, according to state media.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage in Israel, but the Jewish State was bracing for more strikes, ordering schools closed Monday — and preparing to increase its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“The [Israel Defense Force] will continue to operate throughout Lebanon and will intensify its actions against the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” said IDF Brig. Gen. and spokesman Effie Defrin to reporters — calling Iran’s attack “a grave mistake.”
Trump told Fox on Sunday he “wasn’t happy” about Israel’s assault in Lebanon on Saturday, which Israeli officials said was in retaliation for Hezbollah continuing to attack its civilians along the border.
He also claimed to The Post, “Things are going very well.”
He added to Axios that he was calling Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and “telling him not to attack Iran in response.
“Each of them had their fun. If Bibi strikes them back it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years,” the president said.

“He won’t have any choice,” Trump said.
“I call the shots. I call all the shots. [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”
Trump had previously told Iran not to retaliate for Israel’s attack on Lebanon on Saturday — a warning that was not heeded.
On Sunday, he said, “What I would suggest to Iran: You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal.’’

“Our acceptance of the ceasefire on April 8 was conditional on a ceasefire on ALL fronts; but as always, America and Israel did not adhere to their commitment, they continued the aggression and crimes in Lebanon, and attacked Iranian vessels,” it said.
US officials have repeatedly cautioned Israel against escalating the war as they try to broker a permanent deal between the Jewish State and Iran.
Last week, the Lebanese and Israeli governments agreed to their own ceasefire, but Hezbollah rejected the deal.
Pakistan is also trying to revive Iran-Israel peace talks between with little success, as Iran stipulates a deal must include an end to Israel’s war in Lebanon.
Israel has maintained a military presence in Lebanon in pursuit of Hezbollah — a hard-line that has consistently complicated the deal to end the war with Iran.
In NBC’s “Meet The Press” interview that aired Sunday, Trump said he is “not demanding” that Lebanon be part of an overall ceasefire deal.
Netanyahu, who is up for reelection later this year, has insisted on pressing ahead with Israel’s offense in Lebanon until he believes Hezbollah no longer poses a threat.
Before Israel’s strikes in Beirut, Iran warned an attack would spark a full-scale war across the Middle East.
The State Department said in a statement to the New York Times that it still supported the process of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon ahead of more negotiations planned for the week of June 22.
It also noted that the US “supports Israel’s right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate government of Lebanon as it works to deliver a better future for its citizens.”In March, Hezbollah unleashed devastating waves of missile attacks that overwhelmed Israel’s Iron Dome. An Iranian strike later that month injured more than 100 civilians.
