NEW YORK/LONDON, June 8 (Reuters) - The dollar pulled back on Monday from its highest level in nearly two months, after Iran said its attacks on Israel had ended.
Tehran's comments lured investors into other currencies that had been dented after strong U.S. jobs data on Friday prompted traders to ramp up bets on a Federal Reserve rate rise this year.
Iran's military announced on Monday that its first wave of attacks on Israel since a ceasefire in April was now over, although it threatened to resume the strikes if Israel continued attacks on Lebanon.
The euro was a touch stronger on the day at $1.1533, but still hovered near its lowest level in around nine weeks, while the pound edged above three-week lows to $1.3390.
