Tehran: "Contacts with the United States," diplomatic negotiations begin

This morning, Iran launched another wave of missiles against Israel, according to announcements from state television, after previous attacks hit a building in the north of the Jewish state and a loud explosion was heard in Jerusalem. "Iran launches a new wave of missiles against the occupied territories," wrote the state broadcaster of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Irib) on Telegram. Shortly after, it added that "Iranian missiles have breached several Israeli missile defenses." Israeli emergency services released a video of a damaged building in the north of the country, stating that there were no casualties. The Israeli army issued several statements this morning claiming to have detected incoming Iranian missiles and that they were working to intercept them.

Four people were injured in an Iranian missile attack on Tel Aviv. This was reported by Haaretz, specifying that, according to emergency services, the four individuals sustained minor injuries at one of the impact sites. A building and the adjacent street were severely damaged in downtown Tel Aviv, where some cars caught fire. Fragments of intercepted missiles also fell in Rosh HaAyin, causing minor damage. This morning, Iran launched three waves of missiles against Israel, with reports of an impact in the north of the country. Following the Iranian missile attack,

with at least one missile carrying a 100-kilogram warhead that caused at least 6 injuries and significant damage in the
heart of Tel Aviv, Israeli forces are targeting missile launchers and infrastructure in western Iran. This
was reported by Israeli media.

Two people were killed in an Israeli air raid on the village of Bshamoun, southeast of Beirut. This was announced this morning by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, while bombings continued overnight in the southern outskirts of the capital. "The raid conducted by the Israeli enemy against the village of Bshamoun, in the Aley district, has resulted, according to a preliminary toll, in two deaths and five injuries among civilians," the ministry stated in a communiqué. Located in the mountainous district of Aley, which has a Druze majority, Bshamoun lies outside the traditional strongholds of the pro-Iranian movement Hezbollah.

A raid attributed to U.S. forces in western Iraq has resulted in the death of 15 militants from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, also known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, who are on the front lines in the fight against ISIS and are now integrated into the Baghdad army.

Trump unexpectedly announced yesterday a 15-point agreement being finalized with Tehran, which would renounce having nuclear weapons, and the postponement of "all raids against power plants and energy infrastructure" after two days of 'very positive conversations' between Witkoff and Kushner and Iran. The pause will last 5 days, pending a final agreement. The American president also speaks of a 'regime change' underway in Tehran. Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding Supreme Leader Khamenei continues, as Israeli media report that the president of Parliament Ghalibaf would be leading the negotiations for Iran, although he denies talks with the U.S. and denounces 'fake news to manipulate the markets'. Stock markets, which started in the red, close up. Oil and gas prices are falling.

From Iran, they claim to have received a 'message' from the United States, through mediators, amid rumors of possible talks between the parties 25 days after the start of U.S. and Israeli operations against the Islamic Republic, which continues to 'respond' to the raids. "Through mediators, we have received considerations from the United States and they are under study," a Tehran Foreign Ministry official told CBS News in recent hours. The network specifies that this could eventually be a step that may lead to talks.

Regarding the five-day truce to allow for negotiations, American officials believe it is "unlikely" to achieve goals such as "the overthrow of the Iranian theocratic regime and the permanent removal of nuclear weapons". This was reported by the Washington Post, citing sources close to the U.S. administration.
