The Israeli military reports a renewed barrage of missile attacks from Iran, coinciding with Israel’s expanded offensive against Iranian oil and gas infrastructure. In retaliation, Israel launched strikes on sites in Tehran, including the Shahran oil depot and nuclear-related facilities.
Casualties have been reported on both sides. In Tamra, northern Israel, five people were killed following Iranian strikes. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes in Iran led to fires at the South Pars gas field and a Tehran oil facility, which authorities say are now under control.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that their latest attacks targeted Israeli fuel and fighter jet facilities, warning that further Israeli aggression would prompt more intense retaliations. Israeli officials claim their air force hit Iranian military and nuclear project targets.
Multiple nations, including the U.S., UK, and France, have urged restraint amid concerns about regional escalation. Jordan closed its airspace, and travel warnings were issued by the U.S. and Australia. The UK is repositioning military assets in the region.
International diplomacy efforts continue, with leaders such as Penny Wong and Emmanuel Macron advocating for de-escalation and dialogue.
