Iran Israel war news highlights: One killed in strike on Iran's radio station in Bandar Abbas

Iran Israel war LIVE: Iran’s parliament speaker has warned that critical energy infrastructure and oil facilities across the region would be treated as “legitimate targets” if Iran’s own power plants and infrastructure come under attack, he said in a statement shared in a post on X.

Iran Israel war LIVE: While talking to journalists on Sunday, Israel’s military spokesperson said that Iran has launched more than 400 ballistic missiles since the start of the war, with most of them intercepted by air defences.

"Iran has fired over 400 ballistic missiles. We have had great inception rates. We have approximately a 92 percent successful interception rate," news agency AFP quoted Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani as saying.

However, some missiles have breached defences. Iranian strikes hit two towns in southern Israel on Saturday, leaving around 175 people in need of medical treatment.

Iran Israel war LIVE: The G7 has said it is prepared to take necessary steps to support global energy supplies amid ongoing disruptions.

In a joint statement, the group said, “We stand ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy such as the stockpile release decided by International Energy Agency members on March 11,” reported Reuters.

Iran Israel war LIVE: US President Donald Trump on Saturday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding that it reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face fresh military strikes.

He said the US would target Iran’s energy infrastructure, warning that Washington would destroy “various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”

The remark is widely seen as a reference to major facilities such as the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran’s largest, which was hit last week, or the Damavand gas plant near Tehran.

In response, Iran warned early Sunday that any attack on its energy infrastructure would trigger retaliatory strikes on US and Israeli assets in the region, including critical infrastructure.

Iran Israel war LIVE: Iranian state-linked media have reported that an F-15 fighter jet was "shot down" near Hormuz Island.

According to Fars news agency, the country’s Joint Air Defense Headquarters said an “enemy F-15” was intercepted and targeted by ground-to-air defence systems over southern coastal skies.

“An invading fighter jet was targeted by the army's air defense,” the statement said.

Iran’s Press TV also reported the incident and shared a video claiming to show the jet being shot down.

Iran Israel war LIVE: Britain has said there is no evidence to support claims that Iran is planning missile strikes on Europe or has the capability to do so.

British cabinet minister Steve Reed dismissed the assertion after the Israel Defence Forces said Iran possesses missiles capable of reaching cities such as London, Paris and Berlin.

"There is no assessment to substantiate what's being said," Reed told the BBC.

"I'm not aware of any assessment at all that they are even trying to target Europe, let alone that they could if they tried."

Iran Israel war LIVE: Six people have been killed and one person remains missing after a helicopter accident in Qatar’s territorial waters, the interior ministry said on X on Sunday.

Earlier, Qatar’s defence ministry said a helicopter crashed due to a “technical malfunction” during a routine flight, without providing details on the type of aircraft or its mission.

Iran Israel war LIVE: An Iranian lawmaker has reportedly said that some vessels are being charged $2 million to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as part of a new approach to managing the strategic waterway.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of parliament’s national security committee, said the measure has already been implemented and signals what he called a new “sovereign regime” in the strait after decades, reported Iran International.

“Now, because war has costs, naturally we must do this and take transit fees from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz,” he said, adding the move reflects the Islamic Republic’s “authority,” the report added.

Boroujerdi also responded to US President Donald Trump’s warning that Washington could target Iran’s power infrastructure if the strait is not reopened within 48 hours, saying Israel’s energy infrastructure could be within Iran’s reach and could be destroyed “within a day.”

Iran Israel war LIVE: Iran’s nationwide internet blackout has entered its 23rd day since the start of the war.

Monitoring group NetBlocks said millions of Iranians continue to remain cut off from online access, limiting communication and access to information.

“The measure adds to the wartime distress of millions of civilians who lack independent sources of information and alerts,” it added.

Iran Israel war LIVE: At least eight overnight attacks involving rockets and drones targeted a US diplomatic and logistics centre at Baghdad International Airport, Iraqi security officials said on Sunday. A senior official told AFP that the strikes continued until dawn, with some rockets landing near the base.

While one official put the number of attacks at eight, another cited six separate strikes, indicating some discrepancy in initial reports. A police source added that a rocket launcher was later found in a district near the airport, suggesting the attacks were launched from within Baghdad.

Iran Israel war news LIVE: Stock markets are expected to remain volatile in the coming holiday-shortened week, with developments in the West Asia conflict and crude oil price movements set to drive investor sentiment, analysts said.

Markets will remain shut on Ram Navami, while global cues, foreign investor activity and rupee-dollar trends are also likely to influence trading. Experts noted that rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz could keep oil prices elevated, adding pressure on inflation and overall market stability.

Foreign investors have already pulled out significant funds this month amid geopolitical uncertainty and a weakening rupee. Analysts say markets will remain highly event-driven, with any escalation in the conflict likely to weigh further on equities, while signs of easing tensions or softer crude prices could trigger relief rallies.

The Israeli military had earlier alerted civilians about detected missile launches, with defence systems activated to intercept the threats.

Iran Israel war news LIVE: US President Donald Trump has claimed that Washington has achieved its objectives in the Iran conflict “weeks ahead of schedule,” rejecting criticism from analysts and media reports. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran’s leadership and military capabilities had been “wiped out” and asserted that Tehran was willing to negotiate, though he indicated he was not interested in a deal. He also lashed out at coverage by The New York Times, calling its reporting inaccurate.

While Trump said the US is “very close” to meeting its objectives and hinted at winding down operations, Iranian officials have continued to reject talks following the recent escalation in the conflict.

Iran Israel war news LIVE: India’s urea plants are operating at nearly half capacity after disruptions in LNG supplies through the Strait of Hormuz triggered force majeure declarations by suppliers, industry sources said.

The supply hit has led to gas curtailments by major distributors, reducing availability to around 60-65% of normal levels, with some plants receiving even less. As a result, urea production at affected units has dropped by nearly 50%.

US Iran war LIVE: Iran’s representative to the International Maritime Organization said that vessels can continue to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, provided they coordinate with Tehran for security and safety arrangements. The official added that restrictions are primarily aimed at “enemy” nations.

The representative also blamed ongoing US and Israeli military actions as the “root” of the current situation in the strait, which has disrupted global shipping. At the same time, Iran signalled willingness to cooperate with the IMO and other countries to enhance maritime safety and protect seafarers, even as the waterway remains a focal point of the conflict.

US Iran war LIVE: Sri Lanka has raised fuel prices by up to 25% for the second time in two weeks, as the ongoing West Asia conflict begins to strain energy supplies. Petrol prices were hiked sharply, while diesel also saw a significant increase. Authorities said the move is aimed at cutting fuel consumption, with rationing already introduced and a target to reduce usage by up to 20%.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has warned of prolonged disruption due to the crisis, particularly with the Strait of Hormuz effectively impacted. The government has introduced emergency measures including a four-day work week and work-from-home policies. Heavily reliant on imported oil, Sri Lanka fears the conflict could derail its fragile recovery from the 2022 economic crisis.

US Iran war LIVE: Iran has denied any role in a reported missile attempt targeting the US-UK military base at Diego Garcia, after a The Wall Street Journal report claimed two ballistic missiles were launched toward the facility. A senior Iranian official told Al Jazeera that Tehran was not behind the attack. The report said one missile failed mid-flight while the other was likely intercepted, though details remain unclear. The base, located about 4,000 km from Iran, is a key strategic hub in the Indian Ocean, and the alleged strike had raised questions about Iran’s missile range capabilities.

The denial comes as the US ramps up military preparedness in the region. President Donald Trump has said he is not currently planning to deploy ground troops but is keeping “maximum optionality,” even as the Pentagon draws up invasion plans. Thousands of US Marines and rapid-response forces are being positioned closer to West Asia, signalling heightened readiness as Washington weighs its next move in the escalating conflict.

The UAE has not yet reported casualties or damage, but the activation of air defences highlights rising security concerns across the region.
