Iran War LIVE Updates: Israel sounds its second missile alert from Tehran for the day

Israel said it carried out an extensive series of strikes on Iranian "production sites," without providing more information. In Tehran, a massive blast was heard in northern neighbourhoods and another in the city centre. Iran also fired at least a dozen waves of missiles at Israel, and first responders said three people were wounded in southern Israel, and four others suffered minor wounds in Tel Aviv.

Israeli attacks in Lebanon resulted in nine deaths and dozens of injuries, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The strikes caused three fatalities and 18 injuries in Nabatiyeh, while Sidon reported six deaths and five wounded. In Tyre, 29 people were injured as cross-border tensions with Israel continued to escalate.

Israeli Media has reported that US and Israel have granted temporary immunity for two key figures in Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf. This after Israel's defence minister Israel Katz had publicly said that any leader of the Islamic regime was a legitimate target in the ongoing war. According to Israel's Channel 14, the immunity granted is valid at least for the entire five days of negotiations underway with Tehran. This revelation comes after US President Trump revealed that negotiations were on with Iran, a claim denied by Iran's government.

The Iranian mission in New York said that they will allow the passage of what it called "non-hostile vessels" through the Strait of Hormuz. The mission announced in a post on X, "Non-hostile vessels, including those belonging to or associated with other States, may--provided that they neither participate in nor support acts of aggression against Iran and fully comply with the declared safety and security regulations--benefit from safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the competent Iranian authorities."

The American military is preparing to deploy around 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, a person with knowledge of the plans told The Associated Press. The troops are to be sent in the coming days, the person said. The unit is considered the Army's emergency response force and can typically be deployed on short notice. The force would include a battalion of the 1st Brigade Combat Team as well as Maj Gen Brandon Tegtmeier, the division's commander, and the division staff.

Lebanon's Foreign Ministry declared Iran's ambassador to Beirut persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country by the end of the week. The decision was the clearest sign yet of deteriorating relations between the two countries and raises tensions within Lebanon over the role of Tehran and its Lebanon-based ally, the militant Hezbollah group.

Iraq's government has authorised its security forces and state-backed militias to respond in self-defence as the country faces a surge in attacks, according to the state-run Iraq News Agency. The move comes as the Popular Mobilisation Forces, a powerful Shiite-led political and military bloc, continue to be targeted following strikes on locations linked to the United States inside Iraq. The escalation is tied to the wider conflict involving Iran, which has intensified tensions across the region. 

The Trump administration has offered a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran, according to a person briefed on the contours of the plan but who was not authorised to speak publicly about it. The ceasefire plan was submitted to Iran by intermediaries from Pakistan, who have offered to host renewed negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
