Iran and Israel say they have halted strikes after first exchange of fire since truce

Israel and Iran announced on Monday that they had halted strikes against each other, following an exchange of fire over the weekend. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was holding fire 'at the moment' but stressed that the struggle against Iran and Hezbollah was 'not finished'. Iran's armed forces said they had stopped operations after delivering a 'painful response' to Israel, warning of 'more severe' measures if further strikes occurred. US President Donald Trump said he had asked Netanyahu to stop the attacks but denied that Netanyahu had defied his wishes.
