Iran war news live: Trump says Netanyahu will have ‘no choice’ but to accept a deal with Iran

Iran war news LIVE: Iran has launched an attack at Israel for ceasefire violations in Beirut. The attack came shortly after Iran warned of retaliation against the US and Israel for attacks on Lebanon capital. The latest attacks at Israel have put the fragile ceasefire at risk.

Iran war news LIVE: Israel on Sunday said Iran launched missiles at it in the first such bombardment since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April. The attack came shortly after Iran warned of retaliation against the United States and Israel for attacks on Beirut. The latest attacks at Israel have put the fragile ceasefire at risk even as the war in the region reached its 100th day. Tehran insists any deal to permanently end the war must also halt the parallel conflict in Lebanon, where Israel is pursuing a campaign against the Iran-backed movement Hezbollah.

Efforts to turn a ceasefire into a settlement have repeatedly stalled, while the war has rattled global markets and increased domestic pressure on US President Donald Trump ahead of midterm elections.

On Saturday, Iran launched a salvo of missiles at US allies Bahrain and Kuwait after fresh American strikes, drawing a furious response from the Gulf monarchies and further straining a fragile truce.

Weeks of indirect talks marked by tit-for-tat threats and sporadic exchanges of fire have failed to secure a deal to end the Middle East war or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for Gulf oil and gas shipments.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said late on Friday its forces shot down four Iranian attack drones launched toward the strait, then struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Saturday they had responded by targeting "enemy bases in the area" with missiles.

CENTCOM said Iran launched seven ballistic missiles towards Bahrain and Kuwait, with six intercepted and one falling short.

Bahrain, which hosts the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet, denounced the latest attacks as "blatant aggression", while Kuwait said they "represent a dangerous escalation".

In Bahrain's capital, Manama, three explosions were heard as air-raid sirens sounded.

In Kuwait, repeated blasts were heard near the international airport, where a Wednesday strike blamed on Iran killed one person.

A ceasefire in the war -- which was triggered almost 100 days ago by US and Israeli strikes -- has held since April 8, despite occasional flare-ups.

Iran's foreign ministry denounced the latest US strikes as "flagrant" violations, while condemning Washington's "hostile and provocative behaviour".

Efforts to turn the truce into a lasting settlement have repeatedly stalled, while the conflict has rattled global markets and increased pressure on US President Donald Trump at home ahead of midterm elections.

"The negotiations are at a deadlock, and Trump must break this deadlock," Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, told CNN, as he called for the release of some $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Washington instead may seek to use the funds to pay for damage wrought by Iranian strikes on Gulf allies.

The US "Treasury will utilise all tools available to allow Iranian assets to be made available to our Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for any future damage caused by Iran," a source told news agency AFP.

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran to push for peace amid rising tensions between the US and Iran. It is Naqvi's third visit to Iran in recent weeks, as Pakistan leads a diplomatic push to bring the two sides to the table.

Upon his arrival on Saturday, Naqvi was received by his Iranian counterpart, Eskandar Momeni.

Lebanon -- drawn into the Middle East war when Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel on March 2 -- called on Friday for Iran to stop interfering in its affairs.

Beirut's army chief, Rodolphe Haykal, left on Saturday for Pakistan, where he will meet his counterpart, Asim Munir, who has become a central figure in Iran-US mediation efforts.

Iran, in its peace negotiations with Washington, has insisted the fighting in Lebanon and the war in the Gulf are inextricably linked.

On Saturday, Lebanon said an Israeli strike in the country's south killed three of its soldiers. Israel's military said it was "reviewing the incident" and insisted its campaign in Lebanon was targeting Hezbollah, not government forces.

The health ministry said two women were killed and 22 people wounded in an Israeli strike on Saksakiyeh in the south.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military on Saturday announced the death of two of its soldiers.

A ceasefire announced in April did not stop the fighting in Lebanon, and a new conditional truce deal announced this week was flatly rejected by Hezbollah.
