Israel-Iran War: Trump urges Iran back to talks after missile attack US President Donald Trump urged Iran to resume negotiations with Washington after Tehran launched missiles at northern Israel.

Get back to the table and make a deal," he said. Middle East crisis: Iran fires 10 ballistic missiles at northern Israel Iran fired around 10 ballistic missiles towards northern Israel in several waves, according to the Israeli military.

Israel-Iran War: IRGC warns of broader response if attacks continue Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that future retaliation could be far more extensive if attacks by the United States and Israel continue. The IRGC said it had accepted a ceasefire on the condition that it applied to all fronts, but accused Washington and Tel Aviv of violating it through strikes in Lebanon and attacks on Iranian interests at sea. "Tonight's operation was a warning," the group said, adding that future responses "will be broader". Israel-Iran War: Iraq closes airspace amid regional tensions Iraq has temporarily closed its airspace and suspended all air navigation operations, according to civil aviation officials. The move comes amid escalating regional tensions and follows a fresh exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel, raising concerns about the safety of civilian air traffic. Here's what happened in the latest flare-up in the Middle East: - Iran launched ballistic missiles towards northern Israel on Sunday night, hours after Israeli airstrikes struck Beirut's southern suburbs. The attack marked Iran's first direct strike on Israel since a ceasefire took effect on April 8. - Air raid sirens sounded across several areas of Israel after the military detected incoming missiles. The Israeli military said air defence systems were activated immediately to intercept the threat. - The Israeli military later said all missiles launched from Iran had been intercepted successfully. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. - The missile attack came after Israeli warplanes struck Beirut's Dahiyeh district, a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. - Iran has repeatedly warned that any Israeli strike on Beirut would trigger retaliation. Iranian officials reacted strongly to Sunday's attack, describing it as a dangerous escalation. - Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted Israel's Ramat David Air Base with ballistic missiles launched by the IRGC Aerospace Force. - Iranian military officials accused Israel of crossing "all red lines" by expanding attacks in southern Lebanon and targeting Beirut's southern suburbs. - "We had previously warned that if the crime in the suburbs of Beirut spreads, we will attack targets in the occupied territories," a commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya forces said in a statement carried by Iranian state media. The commander also warned that Israel "must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and the suburbs" or face "more crushing and regrettable blows". - Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran "will not only halt the path of negotiations, but we will also be in direct confrontation with the enemy" if Israeli attacks continue. - Ghalibaf accused the United States and Israel of undermining ceasefire efforts and said American and Israeli assets in the region could become legitimate targets. - The latest escalation has further complicated efforts to secure a broader agreement between Washington and Tehran, with fears growing that the conflict could expand into a wider regional confrontation.
