Israel and Iran appear to pause after June 8 retaliatory strikes

AP reported Israel launched early June 8 airstrikes on central and western Iran in response to Iranian missile fire, and by evening both Israel and Iran appeared to have backed down while Netanyahu warned of renewed strikes if Iran fired again.

Why this matters. This frames the live June 8-9 board. The direct front paused, but the conditions Netanyahu and Iran attached to Lebanon kept the crisis open.
