Iran reportedly fired a missile at Israel on Sunday, amid a delicate ceasefire between the United States and Tehran.
Reports of the missile launches from Iran came after Iranian parliament speaker MB Ghalibaf said in a post on
The White House confirmed to MS NOW that President Donald Trump has been briefed on the resumption of fighting after Iran fired its first missile at Israel since the start of the ceasefire. The press conference was first reported by Axios.
Ghalibaf said military activities in Lebanon and the ongoing U.S. blockade have made “U.S. and regime bases and assets in the region legitimate targets,” according to a translation by X.
CNBC cannot confirm that a missile was fired. The Associated Press reported on Sunday that Israel said Iran had fired a missile at it and that the Israel Defense Forces had activated its defense systems after identifying the missile.

President Trump told Fox News on Sunday that missile strikes “certainly don’t help negotiations.”
Axios later reported that Trump planned to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge him not to strike back against Iran.
A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been in place since early April. But fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah has complicated any tentative peace as negotiators struggle to broker a deal to end the conflict.
Iran is demanding a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon and an end to the U.S. blockade of the country’s ports and ships. Meanwhile, the United States is demanding that Iran hand over its nuclear materials and agree to never acquire nuclear weapons.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering redirecting Iranian assets to Gulf allies to help pay for damage caused by Iranian attacks.
Reuters reported on Sunday that Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Ghalibabadi apparently responded to these reports by saying that the local government was “not in a position to demand compensation.” In a post on X, Gharibabadi said Iranian assets are “not the spoils of the U.S. government or funds for payments to allies.”
