Iran has launched multiple missile attacks at Israel, escalating the conflict that began after US-Israeli military actions on February 28. The strikes triggered air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and other cities, causing structural damage to residential buildings.
The Israeli Fire and Rescue Service reported civilians trapped in damaged buildings. Authorities continue to search for survivors, while emergency services manage the aftermath. The attacks are part of an ongoing series of retaliatory strikes from both sides.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that military operations continue, with Israel targeting Iranian command centers and intelligence facilities. In response, Iran fires missiles toward strategic locations, including US and allied positions in the region.
President Donald Trump delayed a planned strike on Iran’s power grid, citing “productive talks” with Iranian officials. However, Iranian authorities stated that no formal negotiations have occurred, calling the reports “fake news.” The situation remains tense, with both sides exchanging military actions and warnings.
The escalation has also affected global energy markets. Closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and continued missile activity have pushed Brent crude to $104 per barrel. Analysts say uncertainty in the region could trigger further oil price fluctuations.
In addition to missile attacks, Iranian security forces have conducted mass arrests. State media reported 466 arrests of individuals accused of online activity threatening national security. Over the past month, more than 1,000 people have been detained for allegedly sharing sensitive information or collaborating with enemy networks.
Pakistani officials and other regional actors are reportedly facilitating dialogue. Direct talks between US and Iranian representatives could take place in Islamabad this week. Meanwhile, Iran fires missiles intermittently, keeping tensions high in the Middle East.

Experts warn that the fragile situation could escalate further. Analysts emphasize that the Iran fires and ongoing conflict with Israel and US forces could have long-term consequences for regional stability and global energy supplies.
