⁠The US ​naval blockade of Iran and ​its green light on Sunday for Israel to escalate attacks ​in Lebanon ‌make US bases ⁠and Israeli assets in the ‌Middle East legitimate targets, Iran’s top ⁠negotiator said in a post on X.

“They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor ​believe in dialogue, and through ​the naval blockade ​and violation of agreements regarding Lebanon they ​showed that they only understand the language of power,” Ghalibaf said in an apparent reference to ⁠the US and Israel.

Arab attacker opens fire in central Israel, killing 1 and wounding 5

A Palestinian man with Israeli citizenship went on a shooting rampage in several towns in central Israel on Sunday, killing one person and wounding five others, according to Israeli police. The attacker was killed by police.

The attack came at a time of heightened tensions following a spate of Israeli settler attacks, and the deadly shooting of a Palestinian baby over the weekend, in the nearby West Bank.

Police identified the attacker as a resident of the Arab town of Taybeh in his 20s, but his precise motives were not immediately known.

Reporting from Jerusalem, FRANCE 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky notes that the fact that it was an attack perpetrated by an Israeli citizen “is shaking up the country quite a bit, shaking up the government that keeps promising security and failing to deliver”.

US draft resolution at IAEA demands Iran grant access to nuclear sites, uranium stocks

The US is lobbying other countries on the UN nuclear watchdog’s ​Board of Governors to back a draft resolution ordering Iran to inform the agency of the fate of its bombed nuclear sites and enriched uranium stocks, according to a draft text seen by Reuters.

The draft resolution has been circulated ahead of this ‌week’s quarterly meeting of the IAEA’s 35-nation board. It risks further complicating ⁠current talks between the US and Iran to end the war.

While previous IAEA board resolutions against Iran ‌have passed by a clear margin, this text could meet stiffer resistance since it was the US that, along with Israel, bombed Iran’s ‌nuclear sites last June during nuclear negotiations. Since then, the agency has been unable to return to ​those sites.

Iran must “provide the Agency with precise information on nuclear material accountancy and safeguarded nuclear facilities in Iran” and “grant the Agency all ​access it requires to verify this information,” the text seen ​by Reuters said, adding that both must happen “without delay”.

Trump also said ​that he ​was not demanding that Lebanon ​be a part of a short-term deal with Tehran.

Israeli strikes come days after Trump warned Netanyahu against attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs

Israeli strikes hit two buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs, reports Lebanese state media. “The raid on Beirut’s southern suburbs targeted two apartments in two buildings,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.

Witnesses say several blasts were heard and a multi-story building was hit in the Hezbollah stronghold areas known as Dahiyeh.

The strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs were the first since a ceasefire agreement was brokered by the US.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump confronted Netanyahu over Israeli threats to resume air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, according to Axios. Trump told Netanyahu not to target Beirut after Tehran had warned that Israeli strikes in Lebanon were undermining talks to end the Iran war, which began with joint US-Israeli attacks, the US website reported.

Reporting from Beirut, FRANCE 24’s Antonia Kerrigan says the latest Israeli strikes on Dahiyeh is “part of an escalation” despite the ceasefire.
