Israel Strikes Iran and Lebanon Overnight
Israel launched broad strikes on Tehran, Iran's capital, and Lebanon overnight. Trump said only Iran's unconditional surrender would end the Middle East war.
Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, fired rockets at Israel early in the conflict. Israeli strikes in Lebanon are the heaviest since 2024.
A ceasefire ended their last war then. Tens of thousands fled Beirut's suburbs.
More fled southern Lebanon after Israeli evacuation warnings. Russia is giving Iran information about United States warship and aircraft locations in the Middle East.
Klear Note — Hezbollah is a militant group based in Lebanon backed by Iran. Israel and Hezbollah have fought multiple wars over decades. Russia supporting Iran signals major powers are now involved in the conflict.
