Overview
- Iran and Israel traded direct strikes in a short but intense cycle before both sides declared a halt to operations, with Iran warning it will resume if attacks continue.
- Israel launched a strike on the southern Lebanese port city of Tyre that Lebanese authorities say killed at least eight people after an Israeli evacuation warning, prompting humanitarian alarms and suspension of some medical services.
- The pause is fragile because Israeli leaders have vowed strong responses to further threats and Iran has linked any resumption of action to continued attacks on its ally Hezbollah in Lebanon.
- IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi urged Iran to re-engage so inspectors can resume work at nuclear facilities that were damaged in earlier bombings, noting Iran has not accounted for high‑enriched uranium left at those sites.
- The United States, backed by Britain, France and Germany, is drafting an IAEA Board resolution that would press Iran to provide precise information about the bombed facilities and remaining enriched uranium, a move that could complicate ceasefire diplomacy.
