Iran launches missiles at Israel | Latest Market News

Summary

Tehran on Sunday said its armed forces launched ballistic missiles at targets in northern Israel to retaliate against Israeli strikes on Beirut, Lebanon. Israel's Defense Forces confirmed the Iranian missile attack and said it was working to intercept the incoming missiles. This was Iran's first attack on Israel since 8 April. US president Donald Trump urged Tehran not to escalate further after the latest missile salvo, according to a Fox News account of an interview with Trump. The White House has confirmed the Fox News report. "What I would suggest to Iran: You've shot your missiles, that's enough — get back to the table and make a deal," Trump told Fox News. Trump said that he was "unhappy" with the Israeli attacks on Beirut and that those strikes have "not been coordinated" with the US. Trump since 22 May has described a US-Iran peace deal as practically finalized. He told Fox News he expected a deal to be signed on "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then this happens", in reference to the strike in Beirut and the Iranian missile attacks on Israel. Israel described its attack on Beirut as targeting a Hezbollah command center and said it was in retaliation for Hezbollah's missile and drone attacks on northern Israel. Israel's military operations in Lebanon, nominally against the Iran-backed Hezbollah group, have resulted in civilian casualties and significant material damage. Israel and Lebanon's central government have reached several ceasefire agreements, with the US facilitating those talks. But Lebanon's central government has little control over Hezbollah. The Iran-backed militant group, in response to the Israeli incursions, has been shelling civilian and military targets in northern Israel. Iran's foreign ministry said the Iranian missile attack was also in response to what Tehran deems US violations of its ceasefire agreement with Iran, including US attacks on Iran-bound vessels. Low-intensity fighting between US and Iranian forces has flared up repeatedly over the past ten days, with the US targeting Iranian military infrastructure around the strait of Hormuz and Iran responding with missile and drone attacks against US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. Reaching a deal with Tehran has proven elusive because of lingering differences over the status of navigation through the strait of Hormuz and the future of Iran's nuclear program. Tehran also insists on a complete stop to the Israeli military incursions in Lebanon.

Oil prices to hit $120 soon? Goldman Sachs makes big prediction as Hormuz concerns loom

Goldman Sachs has projected Brent crude averaging $80 per barrel in the fourth quarter and $75 in the following year, conditional on reduced Middle East tensions, while noting upside risks from potential shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz or Red Sea.

Brent prices rose above $91 per barrel amid recent U.S.-Iran exchanges and Houthi threats to Saudi shipments before edging lower on Tuesday. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that mediators had proposed a 10-day ceasefire to preserve an interim agreement.
