Israel under fire from Iran missiles

JERUSALEM: Israel’s military reported a new missile salvo from Iran on Friday, with its air defenses operating to down them, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israeli emergency services reported some damage to houses and cars from an unintercepted cluster missile, while Israeli military radio said a train station in Tel Aviv was damaged by shrapnel.
The Iranian fire came as US President Donald Trump said the US military “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!” on his Truth Social platform, several hours after saying Iran’s tallest bridge had been destroyed.
The war started more than a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, triggering retaliation that spread the conflict throughout the Middle East, convulsing the global economy and impacting millions of people worldwide.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted online that “striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender.”
Strikes from both sides have increasingly targeted economic and industrial sites, raising fears of wider disruption to global energy supplies and deepening the conflict’s impact beyond the battlefield.
The Strait of Hormuz — a conduit for one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas — has come into sharp focus after Iran effectively closed it, with Gulf nations pushing for a force to protect shipping there, but a UN vote set for Friday was delayed.
Trump has threatened to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages” and warned US attacks would intensify if Tehran did not reach a negotiated settlement, while Iran has vowed in response to carry out “crushing” attacks against the US and Israel.
