Middle East Flare-Up: Iran and Israel Exchange Strikes as Ceasefire Unravels

Tensions spiked as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it launched missiles at Israel’s Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases in retaliation for overnight air strikes on radar sites. Israel’s military then hit several targets at a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr and other military positions across Iran. Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan. In Yemen, Houthi rebels aligned with Iran fired missiles toward Israel and vowed to ban Israeli vessels in the Red Sea. The exchanges threaten a fragile truce agreed in April. Talks are underway in Washington to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with crude prices jumping above $97 a barrel.
