This live page will close soon. Here’s a recap of today’s major events:

• Iran launched a new wave of missiles at Israel, saying that it targeted fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centers in Israel, killing at least three people.
• Israel attacked Iranian targets throughout the day, targeting energy infrastructure, including an oil storage facility in Tehran, igniting a huge fire.
• US President Donald Trump says he and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agree that the hostilities between Israel and Iran must end.
• Previously scheduled nuclear talks between the US and Iran that had been set to take place in Oman on Sunday were officially cancelled.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renewed his threats to Iran, saying that Israel will “hit every site and every target” of the Iranian government.

The number of fatalities from an Iranian missile that struck northern Israel has risen to three, Israeli emergency services say.

Israeli media reported that others were feared trapped in the rubble from the strike.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in the latest efforts by world leaders to align on a response to the crisis.

The prime minister’s office said in a statement that the two leaders had discussed the “gravely concerning situation in the Middle East” and agreed on the need to de-escalate.

The UK is poised to work closely with its allies in the coming days to find a diplomatic resolution, the statement said.

“Sirens sounding in northern Israel due to a hostile aircraft infiltration,” the Israeli military said in a social media post.

Al Jazeera is reporting from Amman, Jordan, because it has been banned in Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Israel has attacked energy infrastructure: the gas production field, the port in Bandar Abbas … Israel, it seems, has changed the focus of its attacks from degrading Iran’s nuclear capabilities to attacking infrastructure.

You heard Netanyahu earlier calling effectively for regime change, saying he was encouraging Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Israel says the focus of its military activities is now on Iran and not on Gaza. But it also conveniently allows … the focus of attention on what’s happening in Israel to move from Gaza to Iran. Until Israel hit those targets in Iran, it was coming under increasing international scrutiny over the conduct of the war in Gaza.

A lot more vocal criticism was coming from European leaders, coming from Canada, and sanctions were imposed on senior Israeli politicians. This allows Israel to move the focus away from Gaza.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, an unidentified Israeli official does not rule out that Iran’s Ali Khamenei may be a target for assassination.

The official said the Iranian supreme leader is “not off limits”.

A senior Iranian security official has told Al Jazeera that Tehran is readying itself for a prolonged confrontation, and will step up its attacks.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Iran did not start the war, but would determine its end.

The conflict is Netanyahu’s war, the official said, and its outcome would be the destruction of the Israeli regime.

The official said that Iran was defending its people — and that US President Donald Trump needed to decide whether to waste American taxpayers’ money on Netanyahu’s ambitions.

As we have been reporting, a fire is raging at the oil facility in Iran’s capital, Tehran.

Sharan is significant as a major oil storage and distribution hub near Iran’s capital, Tehran, home to more than 9 million people.

Its proximity makes it strategically important for supplying refined products to the country’s most populous region and vital industries.

The facility reportedly holds several million barrels of oil, making it one of Iran’s key fuel storage sites, though not the largest – other major facilities like Kharg Island and the Bandar Abbas complex typically store more crude.

Sharan’s closeness to both Tehran and key transportation networks enhances its importance, making it critical for ensuring fuel supply security in the capital and surrounding urban areas, especially during disruptions or crises.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz writes on X: “Tehran’s burning”, to which Iran’s official Arabic news agency responded: “Tel Aviv is burning”, adding a rocket emoji.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its missiles and drones struck fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centers in Israel.

“The offensive operations of the IRGC armed forces will continue more fiercely and widely if the evils and aggressions continue,” it said in a statement.

The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority says the country’s airspace will be closed to civil aviation until 8am local time (05:00 GMT), the state-run SANA news agency reported.

As we reported earlier, Jordan also announced it was closing its airspace until further notice due to the current strikes between Israel and Iran.

Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has slammed the country’s “extremist and unchecked government” as continuing its crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank amid the new conflict it began with Iran.

“We warn that Israel is likely to exploit the diversion of global attention to escalate its attacks on Palestinians,” B’Tselem wrote in a statement shared on social media.

“While millions in Israel and Iran face missile attacks, most Palestinians within Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem are defenseless, with their communities lacking shelters.”

It also noted that Israel’s deadly attacks on Gaza are continuing, while the military has imposed closures on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

“Israel will exploit the current situation to intensify harm to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and everywhere under its control,” the group said.

Israel’s extremist and unchecked government has opened a new front with Iran as its crimes in Gaza and the West Bank continue.
