Iran and Israel
exchanged missile and air strikes across multiple fronts on Monday, targeting
Tel Aviv, Tehran, and parts of the Gulf, according to official and media
reports.

In Israel,
Israeli media reported that Iranian cluster munitions impacted more than 15
locations, with some striking Haifa and the Golan Heights, damaging buildings
and vehicles. Israeli police confirmed material losses and four injuries.
Debris from Iranian rockets also fell in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Bnei Brak,
injuring two people, including one in critical condition. Israel’s Health
Ministry said total injuries since the beginning of the war had risen to 6,833,
with around 138 people still receiving treatment.

In Iran, the
Israeli military said it carried out strikes in Tehran targeting what it
described as Iranian regime infrastructure. Mehr News Agency reported four
people killed and seven wounded in a strike east of the capital. Fars News
Agency cited a local official as saying 13 people were killed in an attack on
residential units in Baharestan, southeast of Tehran, while emergency services
reported six children among those killed in overnight strikes. Iran’s Health
Ministry announced the evacuation of eight hospitals in Tehran following
attacks since the start of the conflict.

In the Gulf,
Kuwait’s military said it intercepted Iranian missiles and drones, while the
United Arab Emirates confirmed it responded to incoming aerial threats from
Iran. In Abu Dhabi, debris fell in an industrial area, injuring one Ghanaian
national.

Diplomatic
efforts to end the conflict are underway but have yet to produce results. The
United States, Iran, and regional mediators are discussing a proposed 45-day
ceasefire as a first step toward a broader settlement, according to Axios,
citing US, Israeli, and regional sources familiar with the talks. Mediation is
being conducted through Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkiye, alongside indirect
exchanges between US Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas
Araghchi.

US President
Donald Trump extended his deadline for Iran by 20 hours, setting a new cutoff
at Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, warning he could target infrastructure vital to
civilians if no agreement is reached. Iran has threatened retaliatory strikes
on infrastructure in Israel and the Gulf states if the conflict continues.
