    Iranian cluster-munition missile kills a man in Tel Aviv

    ConfirmedBackgroundBackgroundTel Aviv, Israel

    Israeli emergency services found a 52-year-old man dead in Tel Aviv after an Iranian missile salvo aimed at central Israel, and police said the cluster munition wounded four others in different areas. Israel's military reported three Iranian launches overnight.

    Why it matters The death came hours after Israel hit Iranian nuclear and steel sites and Iran's foreign minister vowed a 'heavy price', as both sides widened their target lists.

    Israel strikes Arak heavy-water plant, Yazd yellowcake site and two steel mills

    ConfirmedDiplomacy & politicsBackgroundArak and Yazd, Iran

    Iranian state media said the Khondab heavy water plant near Arak and a yellowcake production plant in Yazd province were hit, after the Israeli military told residents near Arak to evacuate; Israel also struck the Mobarakeh and Khuzestan steel complexes. The IAEA said the Khondab plant held no declared nuclear material and reported no off-site radiation from the yellowcake site.

    Why it matters Israel's defense minister had warned that morning that attacks on Iran would 'escalate and expand', and the move to nuclear-fuel-cycle and heavy industry sites came as Washington was pressing a ceasefire plan.

    Israel kills IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri in Bandar Abbas

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundBandar Abbas, Iran

    Israel said an airstrike in the port city of Bandar Abbas killed Revolutionary Guard Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri, whom Defense Minister Israel Katz called directly responsible for mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz, along with the navy's intelligence chief Behnam Rezaei and other senior commanders. The Guard confirmed on March 30 that Tangsiri had died of his injuries.

    Why it matters Tangsiri ran the Guard's day-to-day control of Hormuz shipping; the Guard's statement confirming his death said 'every fighter is a Tangsiri', so the test is whether the strait's vetting and toll system holds without him.

    UN Human Rights Council condemns Iranian attacks on Gulf states and Jordan

    ConfirmedDiplomacy & politicsBackgroundGeneva, Switzerland

    After an urgent debate in Geneva, the 47-member council adopted by consensus a resolution brought by the Gulf Cooperation Council states and Jordan and co-sponsored by more than 100 countries. It condemns Iran's missile and drone attacks, rejects any move to close or obstruct shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, and calls for full reparation to victims.

    Why it matters The resolution is not binding, but it puts on record a demand for reparations and a rejection of Hormuz restrictions that Gulf states can bring into any talks on ending the war.

    Iranian drones set fuel depot at Kuwait's international airport on fire

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundKuwait International Airport, Kuwait

    Kuwait's civil aviation authority said Iranian drones hit a fuel depot at Kuwait International Airport early Wednesday, starting a fire, while the National Guard said it intercepted six drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had fired missiles and drones at Israel and at bases hosting U.S. forces in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.

    Why it matters Kuwait summoned Iran's ambassador later that day for the third time in the war, a sign that Gulf states hosting U.S. forces are absorbing repeated strikes on civilian infrastructure even as talk of a ceasefire plan circulates.

    Magen David Adom said a woman of about 30 was found critically wounded by a road south of Safed and pronounced dead after rocket fire from Lebanon, and two other people were lightly hurt; the military said dozens of rockets were fired at the area.

    Why it matters AP reported it was the war's first Israeli death from fire out of Lebanon, as sirens sounded almost nonstop across the north.

    Oil tumbles as much as 10% and stocks jump after Trump pauses power-plant strikes

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundLondon, United Kingdom

    Brent crude fell as much as $9.02 to $103.17 a barrel and U.S. crude slid to $90 after Trump's announcement, while S&P 500 futures rose 2.6%. Moves faded after Iran denied talks, but Brent ended back below $100 and the S&P 500 closed 1.1% higher, its best day since the war began.

    Why it matters The swing showed prices reacting to Washington's threats and talk of diplomacy even though the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively closed.

    Israel destroys the Qasmiyeh bridge on south Lebanon's coastal highway over the Litani

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundQasmiyeh, near Tyre, Lebanon

    Israel struck the Qasmiyeh bridge near Tyre an hour after a military warning, after Defense Minister Israel Katz added all bridges over the Litani River to the target list, saying Hezbollah used them to move south. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the strikes "unjustified" and "a prelude to a ground invasion."

    Why it matters The Litani bridges link large parts of southern Lebanon to the rest of the country, so cutting the coastal crossing isolates the south as Israel presses ground operations.

    Iranian missile hits Arad, wounding about 70, as Israeli interceptors fail again

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundArad, Israel

    A second ballistic missile struck Arad, about 30 kilometers from the nuclear research center, injuring nearly 70 people, 10 of them seriously, and damaging at least 10 apartment buildings, three of which were destroyed. The military said interceptors engaged both the Dimona and Arad missiles but failed to bring them down.

    Why it matters Nearly 200 people were hurt in the two southern strikes, and back-to-back interception failures near Israel's most sensitive site prompted a military investigation.

    Iranian missile hits Dimona, near Israel's nuclear research center, after Natanz strike

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundDimona, Israel

    A ballistic missile directly hit a building in Dimona, wounding dozens of people including a boy with shrapnel injuries, after Iran said it would target Israel's nuclear program in response to the strike on Natanz. The IAEA said no abnormal radiation levels had been detected.

    Why it matters Iran framed the strike near Israel's main nuclear research center as retaliation for Natanz, turning nuclear sites on both sides into declared targets.

    Israeli strike kills Revolutionary Guard spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundIran

    Iranian state TV said Gen. Ali Mohammad Naini, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, was killed in an airstrike early Friday, after he issued a statement insisting Iran could still build missiles. Israel's military confirmed an overnight Israeli Air Force strike and said he was one of dozens of senior regime figures it had killed during the operation.

    Why it matters Israel extended its targeted killings from commanders to the Guard's public voice, a day after Netanyahu claimed Iran could no longer produce ballistic missiles.

    Iranian cluster munition hits Haifa's Bazan refinery and damages northern power grid

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundHaifa, Israel

    Part of an Iranian cluster warhead hit the Bazan oil refinery complex in Haifa Bay on Thursday afternoon, starting a fire, while Energy Minister Eli Cohen said crews were restoring power in parts of the north. No injuries were reported at the refinery and the Environmental Protection Ministry found no hazardous leak.

    Why it matters Refinery officials told Reuters the damage to outside infrastructure would likely keep the plant offline for several days, bringing the energy war to Israel's own fuel supply.

    Brent jumps above $114 and European gas 24% after attacks on Gulf energy sites

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundLondon, United Kingdom

    Brent crude rose to near $114 a barrel, and to $116.38 later in the morning, up from under $73 on the eve of the war, while Europe's TTF gas benchmark traded 24% higher. Brent briefly topped $119 before receding, and U.S. stocks recovered most of their early losses by the close.

    Why it matters Markets began pricing lasting damage to Gulf oil and gas output rather than only a temporary Hormuz closure, which raises the risk of a prolonged inflation shock.

    Drones set two Kuwaiti refineries ablaze and hit Saudi Arabia's SAMREF refinery at Yanbu

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundMina Al-Ahmadi, Kuwait

    Kuwait said a drone attack started a fire at the 730,000-barrel-a-day Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, followed by a second blaze at the nearby Mina Abdullah refinery; no injuries were reported. Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry said a drone hit the Aramco-ExxonMobil SAMREF refinery in the Red Sea port of Yanbu.

    Why it matters The Yanbu strike reached the Red Sea outlet Saudi Arabia has been using to export crude around the closed Strait of Hormuz, not just Gulf-coast facilities.

    Iranian missile hits Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG hub, causing extensive damage

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundRas Laffan Industrial City, Qatar

    Qatar said Iran fired five ballistic missiles and one got through, striking Ras Laffan Industrial City, the world's largest LNG export facility, and starting fires that QatarEnergy said caused extensive damage; no casualties were reported. QatarEnergy said early Thursday that several other LNG facilities had also been attacked.

    Why it matters About a fifth of the world's LNG supply moves through Ras Laffan; the Revolutionary Guards said they had begun hitting regional energy infrastructure over South Pars, and Abu Dhabi suspended its Habshan gas plant after interception debris fell.

    Israel strikes Iran's South Pars gas facilities at Asaluyeh, forcing four phases offline

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundAsaluyeh, Bushehr province, Iran

    Iranian state media said facilities linked to the offshore South Pars field at Asaluyeh were attacked, and state TV said Phases 3 to 6 were shut to stop a spreading fire. A person familiar with the matter told AP the U.S. knew of Israel's plan but did not take part; Qatar, which shares the reservoir, called the strike 'dangerous and irresponsible.'

    Why it matters South Pars is part of the world's largest gas reservoir, shared with Qatar's North Field, and the attack prompted Iran to warn within hours that it would hit Gulf oil and gas sites.

    Israel kills Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib; Pezeshkian confirms death

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundTehran, Iran

    Defense Minister Israel Katz said Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib was killed in an overnight strike in Tehran and warned of 'significant surprises' on all fronts. President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed the death, calling the killings of Khatib, Ali Larijani and Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh cowardly assassinations.

    Why it matters Katz said commanders were now authorized to hit any senior Iranian figure located by intelligence without seeking further approval, signaling a systematic campaign against Iran's remaining leadership.

    Iraq restarts Kirkuk oil exports via Turkey's Ceyhan at 250,000 barrels a day

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundKirkuk, Iraq

    Iraq's North Oil Company said it began pumping Kirkuk crude to the Turkish port of Ceyhan at an initial 250,000 barrels a day after a deal with the Kurdistan regional government, whose natural resources ministry said the Sarlo pumping station started at 6:30 a.m. Before the war Iraq shipped about 3.5 million barrels a day from Basra through Hormuz.

    Why it matters The pipeline replaces only a fraction of Iraq's lost Gulf exports, and with oil about 90% of budget revenue, Baghdad was also negotiating with Tehran for passage of its tankers through Hormuz.

    Iranian multiple-warhead missile attack kills two in Ramat Gan

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundRamat Gan, Israel

    Magen David Adom said a man and a woman were killed by severe shrapnel wounds in Ramat Gan, east of Tel Aviv, after an Iranian barrage struck several sites in central Israel. The Revolutionary Guards said they fired Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr multiple-warhead missiles in revenge for Larijani's killing.

    Why it matters The warheads are designed to spread damage and evade Israel's layered air defenses, and AP footage showed cluster munitions being released over Israel.

    U.S. diesel tops $5 a gallon for the first time since 2022 as the war squeezes supply

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundUnited States

    AAA data showed U.S. diesel averaging $5.04 a gallon, up from $4.78 a week earlier and $3.65 a month before, the highest since December 2022. Regular gasoline averaged $3.79 later Tuesday, up from $2.98 before the war and the highest since October 2023.

    Why it matters Diesel drives freight and farm costs, carrying the Gulf supply shock into U.S. prices; the next day Trump waived the Jones Act for 60 days to ease fuel shipping.

    Top U.S. counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigns, says Iran posed no imminent threat

    ConfirmedDiplomacy & politicsBackgroundWashington, United States

    National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent posted a resignation letter on X saying he could not 'in good conscience' support the war, that Iran 'posed no imminent threat to our nation' and that the U.S. started the war due to pressure from Israel and its American lobby.

    Why it matters The Senate-confirmed official's letter cut against the administration's case for war, and the CIA director said the next day he disagreed with Kent.

    Israel kills Iran security chief Ali Larijani and Basij commander in Tehran strikes

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundTehran, Iran

    Israel said overnight strikes killed Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guards' Basij force, whom it said was hit in a tent used as a makeshift headquarters. Iran's Supreme National Security Council later confirmed Larijani was killed along with his son Morteza, his office chief and several guards.

    Why it matters Larijani was the highest-ranking Iranian official killed since Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28, and the Revolutionary Guards answered with multiple-warhead missiles fired at the Tel Aviv area that night.

    The IDF said troops had begun 'limited and targeted' ground operations against key Hezbollah strongholds to build a forward defense zone; the Times of Israel said the 91st, 146th and 36th divisions were involved. Defense Minister Israel Katz said hundreds of thousands of displaced residents would not return south of the Litani until northern Israel was safe.

    Why it matters Army chief Eyal Zamir approved plans the same day to deepen the operation, and Germany's Friedrich Merz warned that a wider ground war could spur an exodus of refugees.

    ConfirmedShipping, energy & marketsBackgroundDubai International Airport, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    The Dubai Media Office said a drone struck a fuel tank at Dubai International Airport early Monday, starting a fire that civil defense crews contained with no injuries reported. Flights were suspended as a precaution and later partially resumed.

    Why it matters The strike hit one of the world's busiest international airports as Iranian officials accused the UAE of letting its territory be used for attacks on Iran, a charge Emirati officials rejected.

    India's Foreign Ministry said the gas carriers Shivalik and Nanda Devi had passed through the strait, after Iran's ambassador to India said some Indian vessels were being allowed through. Reuters, cited by CBS, reported 22 Indian-flagged gas carriers were making the passage.

    Why it matters It was an early sign of a selective passage regime: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the same day the strait was closed only to ships of Iran's enemies and their allies.

    U.S. bombs military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, spares oil terminal for now

    ConfirmedMilitary & securityBackgroundKharg Island, Iran

    Trump said U.S. Central Command had 'obliterated every MILITARY target' on Kharg Island, the terminal for about 90% of Iran's oil exports, but chose not to hit its oil infrastructure and would reconsider if Iran interfered with shipping in Hormuz. CENTCOM later said more than 90 targets, including mine and missile storage, were hit; Iranian media reported at least 15 explosions and no damage to oil facilities.

    Why it matters Holding the export terminal hostage to Hormuz traffic turned Iran's main oil revenue into leverage, and Iran's military answered that regional oil and gas sites with U.S. interests would be set on fire if its energy infrastructure is hit.

    U.S. Central Command said all six airmen aboard a KC-135 refueling plane that went down in western Iraq on Thursday were dead and that the loss was not due to hostile or friendly fire. U.S. officials told CBS a second KC-135 was damaged but landed safely, while Iran-backed Iraqi militias claimed they shot the plane down.

    Why it matters The crash raised the U.S. military death toll in the war to at least 13, seven of them killed in combat, and its cause remained under investigation.

France's armed forces ministry said six other soldiers were in hospital.

    Why it matters The death shows the war's reach to coalition trainers in Iraq, where Iran-aligned militias have stepped up drone and rocket attacks on bases hosting U.S. and allied troops.
