US Israel Iran War LIVE: Trump Extends Deadline to Reopen Hormuz, Says Iran Eager to 'Make Deal'

A strike in western Iraq today killed a commander and 14 fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, according to a statement from the group, which blamed the United States for the attack.

The statement said the fighters, part of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), were killed in a “treacherous American attack” targeting their operations headquarters in western Anbar province. Earlier reports had put the death toll at seven.

Although the PMF is now integrated into Iraq’s regular army, it still includes some pro-Iranian factions.

Hezbollah said it launched attacks on five Israeli targets early Tuesday.

In a series of statements, the group said it struck troop, a barracks, a radar site, and artillery positions at dawn.

It added that rockets targeted Israeli soldiers near the Fatima Gate in the town of Kfar Kila in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah also said it used drones and rockets to hit a radar site near Ma’alot-Tarshiha, as well as artillery positions in the settlements of Sasa and Ein HaKovshim in northern Israel.

Iran says at least six people have been killed and nine others injured in a US-Israeli strike on East Azerbaijan Province.

According to Iranian Students’ News Agency, the attack struck a residential area in the Shahid Mofatteh region of the province, in northwestern Iran near the borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye.

Iran’s emergency services say that 208 children have been killed since the war began on February 28.

In a video statement aired by IRIB, emergency services chief Jafar Miadfar said that 168 of those children died in U.S. missile strikes on a girls’ school in Minab at the start of the conflict.

Israeli strikes near Beirut have killed two people and targeted locations in southern Lebanon.

An Israeli airstrike early today hit a residential apartment in Bchamoun, about 10 km southeast of Beirut, killing at least two people, according to an initial report from Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Five others were injured in the attack, the ministry said, as per AP.

The strike occurred without prior warning and hit an area outside Beirut’s southern suburbs, where evacuation notices had previously been issued by the Israeli military.

Israel stated that missile were detected from Iran, leading to sirens sounding in Tel Aviv and central Israel.

Israel’s emergency services are treating several people injured in the latest missile attack launched by Iran.

In a statement shared on Telegram, Magen David Adom said that, at this stage, no fatalities have been reported following the missile strike.

The agency added that further updates will be released if needed.

An Israeli strike early Tuesday on a residential apartment in Bchamoun, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) southeast of Beirut, killed at least two people, according to an initial toll from the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The strike wounded five others, the ministry added.

The strike came without warning and hit an area outside Beirut’s southern suburbs, where the Israeli military had previously issued evacuation notices.

Footage circulating online showed at least one apartment in a building engulfed in flames.

Also early Tuesday, Israeli strikes hit several areas in southern Lebanon, including a gas station belonging to the Amana company in Rashidieh, near the port city of Tyre, sending a large plume of fire into the air.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Israel has repeatedly struck Amana fuel stations since the conflict with Hezbollah reignited on March 2, accusing them of being part of the group’s “economic infrastructure” that can support its military activities.

A semiofficial Iranian news agency close to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard reported early Tuesday that two energy sites had been struck by airstrikes.

The Fars news agency's article seemed to be timed to challenge remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who extended his deadline for Tehran to stop its attacks that have essentially closed the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf's tiny outlet. Trump had vowed to attack power plants in Iran.

According to Fars, one attack "targeted" a gas pipeline for the Khorramshahr power plant, while another attacked natural gas infrastructure in Isfahan.

Neither Israel nor the U.S. had claimed strikes in the area on Monday, though both countries don’t always acknowledge their attacks. Additionally, it wasn't immediately apparent if strikes affecting other nearby locations had particularly targeted or damaged those sites.

Israel’s military warned the public early Tuesday of an incoming Iranian missile barrage targeting the nation, saying its air defenses were working to shoot down the projectiles.
