US President Donald Trump in a Truth Social post on Monday said that "Israel and Iran must immediately stop 'shooting.’” Israel earlier said it hit a petrochemical plant in Iran's southwest, along with strikes elsewhere on military targets, after Trump reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks. Israeli authorities said three waves of Iranian missiles targeted the country. Tehran warned of retaliation after Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday in defiance of Washington’s request days ago to stand down.
