Iran Breaks April Ceasefire With Direct Missile Strike on Israel

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7, 2024, hours after Israeli strikes on Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled Dahiyeh district. The IRGC framed the attack as a "warning" but marked a strategic shift: the first direct Iranian strike since an April ceasefire that followed three weeks of escalating exchanges. Each subsequent round—Iranian strikes in October, Israeli counter-strikes in late October—has grown larger, suggesting neither side has found acceptable limits.
