Iran live updates: Iran says it's ending attacks on Israel after Trump calls for halt

The Iranian military's Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement on Monday that Iran's retaliation against Israel for attacks on Lebanon has concluded, but warned that if hostilities continue, Iran's response will be more severe.

"A painful response was delivered to the Israeli regime, and the suspension of armed forces operations is announced," the statement said, according to Iranian state media.

"If the aggressions and provocations continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and decisive actions than before will follow," the statement added.

President Donald Trump said in a post to social media on Monday that Israel and Iran "are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE!"

"Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way," Trump wrote, adding that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will remain until a deal is reached.

An Israeli military official told ABC News on Monday that the Israel Defense Forces is "preparing for a range of options from several days to as long as it'll take," amid new direct exchanges between Israel and Iran that resumed on Sunday.

Iran has fired nearly 30 ballistic missiles toward Israel since Sunday evening, according to an Israeli military official. Additionally, the Houthis fired two ballistic missiles, only one of which reached Israeli territory.

Israeli aircraft carried out strikes on military targets in Iran on Monday morning, including on Iranian air defense systems, the official said. The IDF also hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran which was used for making chemicals for ballistic missiles, an Israeli military official said.

Sadegh Larijani, the head of Iran's Expediency Discernment Council and the brother of slain senior official Ali Larijani, said on Monday that Tehran's attacks on Israel "in defense of Lebanon" indicate "the formal declaration of a strategic doctrine."

Larijani said the Iranian attacks "sent a clear message that if one side of the Axis of Resistance is attacked, it will trigger a response that extends beyond geographical borders and will change the region's equations," as quoted by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.

The Axis of Resistance refers to the Iranian-led grouping of militias spread around the Middle East through which Tehran has traditionally sought to build deterrence against and erode the influence of Israel, the U.S. and their regional partners. Lebanese Hezbollah is a key part of the axis.
