Iran war live: US launches attacks on ‘multiple’ Iranian targets

8 minutes agoGary O'Donoghue,Senior North America correspondent, Washington DCandOlivia IrelandReutersA sense of normality has returned to the streets of Tehran since the April ceasefireA deal with the US to end fighting in Iran is close and includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Foreign Minister has said.Seyed Abbas Araghchi told state TV the deal also includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran, but that talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later.US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf - as well as effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.Getty ImagesTrump says there is "no such thing as dealing in good faith" when it comes to negotiating with the IraniansDespite having agreed a ceasefire in April, the US and Iran have exchanged intermittent fire, including two rounds of tit-for-tat strikes this week. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had cancelled "scheduled attacks" against Iran, because negotiators had "just made a great settlement" - a deal that was likely be to signed imminently. On Friday, Iranian media published some details from the alleged 14-point deal which Trump said had "nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to" and "bears no relation to the truth".A few hours later, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country helped mediate the deal, said the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran had been agreed and awaited finalising.Iran's Araghchi was quoted in state media saying there are "supporters and opponents" of the latest terms of the deal among Iran's top security body, the Supreme National Security Council.However, he added that a collective decision had not been reached. "For now, we must wait. If approved, the agreement will be signed remotely," he said.Israel is not involved in the talks which are meant to lead to an extension of the ceasefire and the start of negotiations on key issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. For decades, Iran has been accused by Western countries of trying to build a nuclear weapon. It has denied the accusations saying its programme is for peaceful purposes - to generate electricity and for research purposes. In a detailed briefing with journalists on Friday afternoon, US officials said the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, in return for the US lifting its blockade on Iranian shipping.Those steps would come into effect more or less immediately. This would be followed by a 60-day period of negotiation - focusing on Iran's enriched uranium - an essential ingredient to make a nuclear bomb. Officials said that this would result in all that material being destroyed on site and then removed from the country, though the precise mechanism for doing so is still to be worked out.On the economic side, officials stressed there would be no money provided up-front - an apparent rejection of earlier Iranian news reports suggesting some Iranian assets would be unfrozen before substantial negotiations had begun. Instead, US officials said, there would be a staged reintegration of Iran into the global economy, with measures such as the lifting of sanctions and the potential unfreezing of assets happening incrementally.The deal calls on Iran to stop funding proxy groups in the region - a reference to Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies across the Middle East.The US officials emphasised that the MOU was not based on trust or promises, but on "performance" - Iran would only receive economic benefits when it could be verified it had implemented measures it had committed to.Even though there is a sense of cautious optimism from all sides - the US, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar which has also helped with mediation efforts -

Aqua farmers worried over manufacturers’ bid to increase shrimp feed prices

Representative image. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphotos The State government will introduce the Maharashtra Women Farmers Empowerment Bill, 2026, during the upcoming Monsoon Session of the Legislative Assembly beginning on June 22, seeking to grant women farmers independent legal recognition and improve their access to welfare schemes and institutional support, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Friday (June 12, 2026).Mr. Fadnavis reviewed a preliminary presentation on the draft Bill at a meeting attended by Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar, Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharane and Minister of State for Agriculture Ashish Jaiswal at his official residence on Friday.“Women account for more than 81% of participation in Maharashtra’s agricultural sector. However, most agricultural policies and government schemes remain male-centric. Since land ownership is often a prerequisite for availing benefits under agricultural schemes, a large number of women farmers are excluded from these benefits. Women cultivating family- or community-owned land, as well as those engaged in allied activities such as fisheries, livestock rearing, poultry farming and collection of forest produce, are often not recognised as farmers. It is against this backdrop that the proposed legislation has been drafted,” he said.Digital systemThe Chief Minister directed officials to undertake a detailed study for developing an effective digital system through which women farmers can access State government loan schemes, agricultural subsidies, seeds, fertilisers, crop insurance, extension services, market facilities, transportation, storage infrastructure and social security schemes.

The Gaza civil servant had been beaten, tortured, bound and forced to soil himself since his arrest by Israeli soldiers a month earlier.The soldiers and their guard dogs surrounded him that day. “There were six soldiers on the right and six on the left,” he recalled. “They would ask your name. If you said ‘Muhammad’, they would say, ‘No, say your name is b****.’”Al-Bakri said he was held with seven other prisoners. They were all stripped, blindfolded and handcuffed.“We were raped after being stripped of our clothes,” he said. “We were shouting, ‘Oh Lord, oh God’, but they were just laughing and filming us.” Al-Bakri then echoed what several rights agencies have also reported – that guards also used dogs during the sexual abuse of prisoners. “The dogs were following commands from the officers to [attack] us,” he said.“There was no mercy. We stayed in that state of sexual abuse and beatings for about 20 minutes to half an hour. Then they told us to get dressed and took us back to the prison.”Al-Bakri is among multiple former prisoners who have given detailed testimonies to Al Jazeera, during the production of Al Jazeera’s exclusive original documentary, Bodies of Evidence: Israel’s Darkest Weapon. They described what International Criminal Court (ICC) judges, the United Nations itself and its special rapporteur on the occupied territories, Francesca Albanese, say amounts to the widespread and systematic use of rape and sexual torture by the Israeli army against Palestinians. Separately, rights groups such as the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor have documented testimonies of prisoners who recounted how Israeli soldiers used dogs to rape them.(Bodies of evidence: Israel’s Darkest Weapon) Allegations of the sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons are not new – they date back decades. But launching its genocidal war on Gaza following the Hamas-led attack of October 2023, Israel appears to have increased the use of rape as a weapon of war, according to an Al Jazeera investigation and various reports by the UN and leading rights groups.A UN report published in March 2025 found evidence of the “systematic” use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence by Israel since October 7, 2023. In May, Israel was added to the UN “blacklist of sexual violence in conflict zones”. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Israeli rights group B’Tselem and the PCHR have described the pervasive culture of sexual violence within Israeli forces, especially among those charged with overseeing Palestinian prisoners. Many were arrested and held without charge under Israel’s system of administrative detention.Mohammed Zaki al-Bakri [Al Jazeera]No soldiers or guards have been convicted of sexual abuse of Palestinians. Israel detained 10 security officers after a video of the rape of a prisoner was leaked from the Sde Teiman detention camp in the Negev desert in July 2024. But gangs of right-wing protesters, including legislators, attempted to storm the facility where the guards were being held in a bid to free them.Last July, Israel dropped all charges against the guards. The female officer who allegedly leaked the video of the attack, Major-General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, was subsequently arrested. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu termed her “crime

Iran fires missiles at Israel after it attacked Beirut

Iran and Israel say they will pause strikes but warn of retaliation if ceasefire breached again13 minutes agoSarah Smith,North America editor,David GrittenandAmy WalkerIran and Israel say they have halted attacks on each other, after the two countries exchanged fire for the first time since April's truce.Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that his country was holding fire "at the moment". But he stressed that the struggle against Iran and Hezbollah was "not finished".It came hours after Iran's armed forces said it had stopped operations following the delivery of a "painful response" to Israel. It promised "more severe and crushing measures" if Israel carried out more strikes, including in Lebanon, where Israeli forces are fighting the Iran-backed group Hezbollah.Tehran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for a strike on Beirut.Israel responded in the early hours of Monday morning by targeting what it said were military sites in the Islamic Republic.In a call with the BBC, US President Donald Trump denied that Netanyahu had defied his wishes by launching strikes."No, no. They had already gone. They had already gone. They were already on their way," he said.The White House confirmed that Trump had called Netanyahu to discuss the crisis. An Israeli official said Israel had halted its strikes at his request.Asked how he had persuaded Netanyahu to stop attacking Iran, Trump responded: "All I did is say, 'We have to use sense'. We're very close to signing a very powerful deal, a very good deal."No nuclear weapons, no nothing. You know, we have to use a lot of common sense. It was fine."Trump also said of Netanyahu: "If I tell him to do something, he does it."The president told US news outlet Axios he had told Israel's prime minister he might find himself fighting alone if he went back to war with Iran."I said, 'Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon,'" Axios quoted him as saying.In his televised statement on Monday, Netanyahu said he had told Trump that "Israel has a full right to self-defence, and we are exercising it as required".Sunday's exchange of fire had continued on Monday morning, with Iran launching more missiles towards Jerusalem and central and southern Israel, according to Israeli authorities. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said a second wave of air strikes had targeted a petrochemical complex in the south-western Iranian city of Mahshahr, where an Israeli military official said chemicals used for ballistic missiles were produced.Iran's Emergency Organisation chief, Jafar Miadfar, told Tasnim news agency that the strikes injured 14 people in Mahshahr and one in Tehran.Casualties were also reported in Lebanon, where the health ministry said five people had been killed and eight wounded in an Israeli strike on Tyre in southern Lebanon on Monday. The Red Cross said four of its rescuers were among the injured.Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it had fired a rocket barrage at a group of Israeli army vehicles and soldiers in southern Lebanon on Monday morning.Trump publicly told both countries to "immediately stop 'shooting'" because they were jeopardising negotiations between Washington and Tehran on a deal to end the regional war."Israel and Iran... are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way," he wrote on Truth Social.The war began on 28 February, when Israel and the US launched a joint attack on Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other top officials.The hostilities spread quickly across the Middle East, as Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at Israel and Gulf Arab states hosting US military facilities. Iran also effectively blocked the crucial Strait of Hormuz waterway, causing a surge in the price of oil.Lebanon was drawn into the conflict on 2 March, when Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in retaliation for Khamenei's

Iran’s attack on Israel aims to restore deterrence but avoid return to war

Good morning. You're reading the Up First newsletter. Subscribe here to get it delivered to your inbox, and listen to the Up First podcast for all the news you need to start your day. Today's top stories Israeli forces launched strikes in Lebanon and Iran, and Iran has attacked Israel in retaliation. The violence is threatening to plunge the Middle East back into an all-out war. This morning, sirens sounded across Israel after Iran and its allies, Yemen's Houthi rebels, launched missiles. Iran said it targeted two Israeli military bases in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iranian radar sites. Israel struck central and western Iran early today after attacking Hezbollah targets in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Israeli security forces examine a fragment of an intercepted Iranian missile in northern Israel, early Monday, June 8, 2026. Rami Shlush/AP hide caption toggle caption Rami Shlush/AP 🎧 Iran has warned that any strikes by Israel on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital would be considered a red line, NPR's Jane Arraf tells Up First. Iran has called for a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of a broader Iran-U.S. deal. Last night, Israel targeted an apartment building, killing two people. Arraf, who is in Beirut, says that apartment buildings in the areas of Lebanon still under threat by Israel have been leveled by airstrikes. Despite the destruction, some residents, including the elderly and disabled, are still trying to live in these neighborhoods. Tyre was once a thriving coastal city, similar to Miami, but after the new strikes, displaced families began setting up tents on the beach near shuttered restaurants, with some individuals simply sleeping on the sand. President Trump walked out of an interview with NBC's Meet the Press after he was confronted about his "anti-weaponization" fund and his persistent false claims about the elections. In the interview, which aired on Sunday, the president defended his Iran policy and mentioned a potential peace agreement, but he offered no details. 🎧 Trump made it clear during the interview that he hasn't given up on his administration's nearly $1.8 billion fund, despite acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's assurances that it's been phased out. NPR's Franco Ordoñez says he anticipates the anti-weaponization fund will continue to dominate discussions in Washington. Republican and Democratic lawmakers are concerned that the fund, which the president says would support people who have been unjustly targeted by the government, could be used to pay Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Trump also said during the interview that he deserves more leniency and patience regarding the war in Iran. He mentioned again that a deal would be reached soon, or that military action might resume. Ordoñez points out that the president has made similar statements on the war for weeks now without providing specifics. Health officials in Africa are warning that the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is spreading more rapidly than any other Ebola outbreak in history. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says that the rate of transmission is exceeding the early trajectory of the 2014 West Africa epidemic. Health workers are operating with limited resources as they struggle to bring the outbreak under control. Over the weekend, 71 new cases were confirmed in three provinces of eastern Congo. Congolese health authorities say that the jump in cases demonstrates "rapid and ongoing community transmission." The Congolese government has stopped publishing the total number of suspected cases, but aid officials estimate that the numbers could be in the thousands. 🎧 Health authorities in the Congo announced over the weekend that three new patients have recovered, bringing the total number healed to 12. This suggests that the virus is not necessarily a death sentence, according to Emmet Livingstone, who is reporting from Congo's capital, Kinshasa. Livingstone says that wh

Earthquake today: 2 killed as 5.2 magnitude quake hits southwest China; thousands evacuate Liuzhou city

A strong earthquake struck the southern Philippine island of Mindanao on Monday, triggering tsunami warnings, damaging buildings and prompting evacuations on the first day of school.Strong Quake Strikes South Philippines; Tsunami Waves Possible(Bloomberg) -- A strong earthquake struck the southern Philippine island of Mindanao on Monday, triggering tsunami warnings, damaging buildings and prompting evacuations on the first day of school.The USGS estimated it at 7.8 in magnitude, as did the Philippines. The quake had a magnitude of 8.1 and was at a depth of 10 kilometers, according to the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences. Hazardous tsunami waves are possible within three hours along some coasts of Indonesia, Philippines, Palau, Taiwan and Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a 7:51 a.m. Manila time alert.“Move to higher ground now. Do not wait. Your life is more important than anything left behind,” Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a statement. He ordered relevant government agencies to act immediately, and suspended classes across affected areas in Mindanao until further notice.Indonesia issued tsunami warnings for some areas including Kalimantan on the island of Borneo, as well as stretches of Sulawesi island, cautioning of waves of up to three meters high, according to a tweet from the national weather agency.The extent of damage from the earthquake remains unclear. A portion of a building in the southern city of General Santos collapsed, according to local radio DZRH. Students evacuated on the first day of school, and a hospital took patients out beside the street.“We have coordinated with our municipalities in coastal communities to do emergency evacuation,” Rene Punzalan, head of Sarangani’s provincial disaster office, told DZBB radio station. “There’s no electricity and phone signal is intermittent.”He described the earthquake as strong. “Like being rocked in a cradle,” he said. Van Ruiz, a staffer at a beach resort in Sarangani Bay, said by phone that all their guests are being checked out and that the hotel building has suffered some damage.Government work in several areas including in Davao City have been suspended, according to media reports. Flights to General Santos City have been suspended, according to DZMM radio.“I couldn’t even stand, it was so strong. Everything in my house fell down,” Tomas Alon, resident of General Santos City, told DZBB. “It probably took me one minute before I got down from the second floor.”--With assistance from Mary Hui, Ditas B Lopez, Manolo Serapio Jr., Zoe Ma and Cliff Venzon.(Adds more magnitude estimates, quote from president, details of damage throughout.)More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com©2026 Bloomberg L.P.Stay updated with the latest Trending, India , World and US news.

1 person died, 36 injured after blast at New York City shipyard, officials say

1 hour agoKathryn ArmstrongObservator Antena1In a separate incident, Ukraine confirmed one of its naval drones exploded off Romania's coast on FridayUkraine says it has struck five ships carrying illegal cargo in the Sea of Azov and in coastal waters of Russian-occupied territories.The Ukrainian drone forces commander said the vessels were involved in "stealing" Ukrainian grain, as well as transferring military cargo and fuel.The strikes come as Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to speak at a major economic forum in St Petersburg, a day after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky offered face-to-face talks with the Russian leader on ending the war.Meanwhile, Ukraine has confirmed one of its naval drones exploded off Romania's coast on Friday. No injuries were reported in the blast. Zelensky wrote alongside his latest offer of peace talks that Russians had become tired of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks, petrol shortages and rising prices that the war, now in its fourth year, had brought.Ukraine has repeatedly targeted military and energy infrastructure within Russia in a bid to limit its war-fighting capability.Putin's arrival in St Petersburg comes a day after Kyiv had launched a drone attack on the outskirts of the city.Azerbaijan's foreign ministry confirmed five of its citizens had been killed in attacks on two of the vessels in the Sea of Azov.It did not specify who had been behind the attacks and noted that the ships did not belong to Azerbaijan. Earlier, Robert Brovdi, Ukraine's drone commander, announced that five "illegally loitering vessels" had been struck overnight in the ports of Mariupol, Berdyansk and in the coastal waters of what Ukraine calls the "temporarily occupied territories" - parts of the country that Russia currently controls. He said the names of the five ships, which included cargo vessels and tankers, were painted over and their radars were turned off "with the aim of quietly stealing Ukrainian grain", as well as "transferring military cargo and fuel". The Azeri foreign ministry named two of the ships as the Nastra and the Circon.Brovdi did not mention any deaths. EPA/ShutterstockUkraine's state emergency services posted pictures of the attack on a dairy factory in the Kyiv regionIn Ukraine, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 70 others have been injured in the past day, according to local officials.Among them are four people who died after Russian drones struck a dairy factory outside the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, according to the regional head, and a 35-year-old woman in a drone attack on a petrol station in Kherson, local officials said.Meanwhile, a naval drone exploded in the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta on Friday. The country's defence ministry said the drone had self-detonated near an oil terminal without causing any casualties, although authorities have said it caused considerable damage to a ship and warehouses.Adrian Teodor Picoiu, Constanta's top official, told G4Media that "information from the Ukrainian side" was that the drone was part of a group of five, with a second one exploding in Ukraine. Ukraine later confirmed one of its naval drones had been involved, saying it had been knocked off course by Russian electronic interference. Moscow has yet to comment.The remaining three drones were unaccounted for but officials said there was no further risk. No reason has yet been offered for why the drones would be in Romanian waters.Romanian President Nicusor Dan wrote on X that it was the second "significant security incident this week", after a stray mine was discovered on a beach near the village of Vama Veche, more than 50km (31 miles) north of Constanta.It also comes a week after two people were injured when a drone hit a Romanian apartment block in the eastern city of Galati - close to the border with Ukraine.Romanian officials said they had confirmed it was a Russian drone but Moscow said "accusations" of its involvement were "unsubstantiated".Zelensky

US strikes Iranian fast boats as Tehran attacks UAE oil facility

2 min readNew DelhiJun 3, 2026 11:26 AM IST A US aircraft fired a Hellfire missile at the engine room of the Botswana-flagged M/T vessel. (X/@IRIMFA_SPOX)The United States on Tuesday said it struck and disabled an oil tanker sailing towards Iran as part of its naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. A US aircraft fired a Hellfire missile at the engine room of the Botswana-flagged M/T vessel after it “ignored repeated warnings,” failing to comply with directions multiple times over 24 hours, Centcom wrote on X.Centcom also released visuals on social media capturing the moment the tanker was hit. Why was the ship attacked? According to Centcom, the unladen tanker was travelling toward Iran’s Kharg Island, from where Iran has been collecting tolls in exchange for allowing vessels to pass through safely since the early weeks of the war. On 13 April, US President Donald Trump imposed a naval blockade on ships accessing Iranian ports and coastline, to prevent Tehran from collecting tolls. Defying Washington’s demand for restoring freedom of navigation in the strait, Iran established the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) in May to formalise toll collection. Tehran has been pushing for US recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait and justified the toll collection, arguing that the key maritime route passes through the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. US-Iran ceasefire talks ongoing The development came after Trump requested changes to the potential peace agreement with Tehran. CBS News reported that the changes related to the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of highly enriched uranium from Iran.Story continues below this ad The US President also denied reports suggesting that peace talks with Tehran had halted over Israel’s ongoing military operation in Lebanon. The BBC reported that on Monday, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said Washington was “constantly changing its views and putting forward new or contradictory demands”. On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that Tehran has signaled a willingness to negotiate elements of its nuclear program, the key sticking point in the ceasefire talks.
