Iran live updates: Iran says it's ending attacks on Israel after Trump calls for halt
Iran fired on Israel following Israeli strikes in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.
Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Israeli strikes in Beirut could put US-Iran peace negotiations in peril
Israeli military forces launched strikes against Iranian-backed Hezbollah military targets in southern Beirut, Lebanon, on Sunday, posing a dangerous moment for U.S.-Iran peace talks and an already tenuous ceasefire in the Persian Gulf region around the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the strikes were occurring in Beirut and its suburbs. The strikes were in response to the Hezbollah militant group firing missiles into northern Israel.
"In accordance with the directives of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, the IDF has now attacked terrorist headquarters in the Dachiyya neighborhood of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah firing into Israeli territory," Netanyahu and Katz said in a joint statement on Sunday.
Last week, Netanyahu said Israel would attack Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut. The IDF had issued evacuation orders for the area.
Sunday's strikes followed a heated phone call on June 1 between Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, who sources told ABC News was angered by Israel's escalation in Lebanon and its potential to imperil the administration's ongoing negotiations with Iran.
Before Sunday's strikes, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned in a statement on Iranian state media that if Israel were to strike Beirut, Iran would launch strikes against Israel. Iran, via state media, also threatened to stop negotiations with the United States.
