Iran and Israel had been fighting "so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing." A reporter for Axios said Netanyahu had told Trump that Israel would scale back the bombing mission rather than cancel it. Retaliatory missile strikes have killed 28 people in Israel, the first time large numbers of Iranian missiles have penetrated its air defences. A senior White House official said Trump brokered the ceasefire deal with Netanyahu, and other administration officials were in touch with the Iranians. Trump thanked Tehran for warning the United States in advance to avoid injuries.
