Overview
- Sunday night Iran fired a wave of ballistic missiles at northern Israel, and Israeli air defenses intercepted most of the incoming rockets.
- Hours later Israel said its air force struck military targets in western and central Iran, including a petrochemical-linked site near Mahshahr.
- US Central Command reported it struck Iranian coastal radar sites and shot down drones launched toward commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The exchange marks the first direct blows between Tehran and Tel Aviv since an April ceasefire and raises the prospect that talks will falter because Iran is pressing for roughly $24 billion in frozen assets.
- The confrontation has widened to regional fronts — Lebanon, Kuwait, Bahrain and Yemen — increasing civilian harm in Lebanon and the risk of disruptions to shipping and energy infrastructure.
