West Asia war latest developments: Iran energy sites hit as missiles strike Israel, Iraq and Beirut

Tel Aviv Impact: Six people were wounded in Tel Aviv after police reported several impact sites following military warnings of incoming missiles from Iran. Earlier, Iranian state media announced a fresh salvo of missiles towards Israel on Tuesday morning. This followed an earlier barrage that struck a building in northern Israel during continuing missile exchanges between the two sides. (Image: Reuters)

Beirut Strike: An Israeli strike on Bshamoun, a town south of Beirut and outside Hezbollah’s traditional strongholds, killed at least two people, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. The strike showed Israeli operations extending beyond areas usually linked to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group and into other areas south of the Lebanese capital. (Image: Reuters)

Anbar Deaths: A strike in western Iraq killed 15 fighters, including Saad Dawai al-Baiji, the provincial commander and head of operations in Anbar for the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, also known as the Popular Mobilisation Forces. The PMF is now part of Iraq’s regular army but includes several groups that are aligned with Iran. (Image: Reuters)

Syrian Base: Syria’s army said one of its bases in the north-east was targeted by a missile strike launched from neighbouring Iraq. An Iraqi official said a local armed group carried out the attack. The official said an Iraqi faction fired seven Arash-4 rockets, an improved version of the Grad rocket, towards a base in the Hassakeh region. (Image: Reuters)

Leaders Speak: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he spoke with Donald Trump, who believed military gains in Iran could be turned into a negotiated agreement protecting Israel’s interests. Netanyahu said Trump believed there was a chance to turn military achievements into an agreement that would safeguard Israel’s vital interests and meet the war’s objectives. (Image: Reuters)

Attack Paused: Earlier, Trump said he had shelved plans to attack Iran’s power plants after what he described as “very good” talks with unidentified Iranian officials aimed at ending the war. The decision marked a policy shift as fighting continued across multiple countries in the region despite diplomatic contacts and ongoing military operations. (Image: Reuters)

Beirut Suburbs: Israel attacked Beirut’s southern suburbs after the Israeli army warned residents to evacuate, saying it was striking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut. Live television footage showed a cloud of smoke rising over the southern suburbs, which are considered a stronghold of the Iran-backed Hezbollah group in the Lebanese capital. (Image: Reuters)

Missiles and Strike: Israel’s military confirmed a malfunction in the David’s Sling aerial interceptor system allowed two Iranian ballistic missiles to strike southern Israel, wounding dozens over the weekend. The system is part of Israel’s air defence network. Separately, Israel said it struck a Revolutionary Guards site in Tehran used to direct Basij paramilitary battalions. (Image: Reuters)
