The ceasefire between Iran and Israel is being hailed as the biggest global news of the day—but the reality on the ground tells a more complex story. Despite the announcement of a truce, both nations continued cross-border hostilities,

Iran launched a missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base — the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East, which President Donald Trump visited just last month — after the U.S. carried out a series of bombings against three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend.

Iran coordinated its strikes on U.S. bases in Qatar, prompting air space closure, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. The New York Times, which first reported the coordination, said Iran took the action to minimize casualties.
