Iran war live: Israel running low on missile interceptors  Middle East Eye

Iranian FM says strikes on Gulf in response to US-Israeli strikes on Iran Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said Iran's missile and drone strikes on the Gulf were responses to US forces using the territory of its regional allies.  Speaking to CBS News, Aragchi framed the strikes as a direct response to US military personnel using Gulf nations to launch strikes onto Iran.  “These are the countries that have given their soil to American forces to attack us,” Araghchi said. “So what can we do? We just sit and watch that American forces are attacking us from their soil? … We are only targeting American assets, American installations and American military bases. Everything belongs to Americans.” Earlier this week, Aragchi joined other ministerial colleagues at the annual Al-Quds rally, as a show of defiance, after US War Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed Iran's leadership were hiding like "rats".  Araghchi added that Iranian forces have provided safe passage for vessels from other nations and the Strait of Hormuz is not completely closed but insecurity arises from US aggression. “We provide them security to pass because we have not closed this strait. They are not coming themselves because of the insecurity that is there, because of the aggression by the US.” Aragchi added that the Iranians had given up on negotiations and that they "don’t see any reason why we should talk with Americans, because we were talking with them when they decided to attack us, and that was for the second time. "This is a war of choice by President Trump and the United States, and we are going to continue our self-defence."

Oil could pass 2008 record of $147.50 a barrel as damage and field closures risk compounding supply shock caused by Iran war About 20 miles off the coast of Iran lies the source of the petrostate’s economic lifeblood and the latest target of US military aggression: an 8 sq mile coral island through which nine in every 10 barrels of Iranian crude passes each day. The US president’s decision to launch a weekend attack on Kharg Island, the home of Iran’s processing hub and the heart of its economy, is an unsurprising counterstrike to the Iranian regime’s ongoing chokehold on the oil market’s trade artery.

U.S. energy chief signals Iran war may last several more weeks  Fortune

A Hamas source said an Israeli strike on south Lebanon on Sunday killed an official from the Palestinian militant group as Hezbollah said it fired an "advanced missile" at an air base near Tel Aviv. Israel said no direct talks were planned with Lebanon to end the latest war which has been raging for two weeks. The statement came a day after a Lebanese official said Beirut was preparing a delegation to negotiate with Israel.

Israel launched a fresh strike on Beirut's southern suburbs late Sunday as Israel's military said it was striking Hezbollah infrastructure in the city following earlier raids mainly in the country's south. The midnight strike, heard by AFP correspondents in the capital, came after a morning Israel army evacuation warning for Beirut's southern suburbs, which Israel has repeatedly struck in the past fortnight. Shortly after the raid, the Israeli military said on social media that it was "currently striking Hezbollah terror infrastructure in Beirut".
