Israel reported missile attacks from Iran on Sunday, the first since a ceasefire began in early April. Iran's state media confirmed the launches, which resulted in multiple explosions in northern Israel. In retaliation, Israel conducted an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs, killing two and injuring 20, further straining diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict. The strike was seen as a response to earlier fire from Hezbollah, although the group did not claim responsibility for the attacks on Israel. Mediation efforts are ongoing, with Pakistan's interior minister visiting Iran to facilitate talks between Tehran and Washington. Meanwhile, U.S. military operations continue, including the downing of Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz. The situation remains tense as both nations seek to negotiate a broader ceasefire that includes the conflict in Lebanon, with energy prices rising and political implications looming for the U.S. ahead of midterm elections.
