Iran launched a new wave of missiles at Israel on Tuesday, hours after President Donald Trump claimed there had been 'very good' talks aimed at ending the war. Tehran denied that any negotiations were taking place, with senior Iranian officials accusing Trump of attempting to manipulate financial and oil markets. Despite the diplomatic confusion, Israeli leaders signaled they would continue military operations against Iran and allied groups in Lebanon.

The renewed strikes came after a malfunction in Israel's air defense system allowed two ballistic missiles to hit the country’s south over the weekend, wounding dozens. Fresh missile fire was reported in northern Israel early Tuesday, while Israeli forces carried out additional air raids on southern Beirut as part of an expanded campaign against Iran-backed fighters.

Tensions have rattled global energy markets, as Iran has threatened shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil supplies. Oil prices initially surged amid fears of a broader conflict but fell sharply after Trump suggested progress toward a possible agreement. The war has caused thousands of casualties in Iran and Lebanon, displaced large numbers of civilians, and raised warnings from energy experts about the risk of a severe global oil crisis if the fighting continues.
