Strikes by Israeli forces against Hezbollah in Lebanon could prompt Iran to resume missile fire on Israel, officials said, as a ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday while fighting continued on the Lebanese front.

The IDF halted fire in Iran under political direction but maintained high readiness, while continuing operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and preparing for a possible response from Tehran.

Iranian officials signaled a commitment to defend Hezbollah if Israeli operations persist, raising the possibility of renewed missile barrages.
