The Latest: Iran Launches Missiles at Israel and Gulf States as Explosions Heard Around Tehran

Israel said it faced four missile barrages within six hours as Iran also struck a Gulf tanker and raised fears over shipping routes.

  • On Thursday, Israel reported Iranian missile fire marking part of four barrages detected within six hours. The attacks occurred shortly after President Donald Trump's address, which vowed to strike the Islamic republic "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks.
  • Trump's Wednesday address sought to reassure Americans that military objectives were "nearing completion," while warning the U.S. would "bring them back to the Stone Ages" if threats persisted. He vowed to finish the job quickly despite ongoing conflict.
  • Across the region on Thursday, attacks escalated as the Revolutionary Guards confirmed hitting an oil tanker off Qatar. Sirens sounded in Bahrain and Dubai as air defenses intercepted Iranian drone and missile barrages, prompting U.S. assurances of protection for regional allies.
  • British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is set to host a virtual meeting Thursday with about 35 countries to discuss "diplomatic and political measures" to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran has effectively blocked the strait without a war-ending deal.
  • Following the address, Brent crude prices rose to more than $105, marking a nearly 50% increase since February 28. Rising energy costs and market jitters are placing significant domestic pressure on the administration as the conflict continues to disrupt global shipping.
