War in the Middle East: Israel reported that an Iranian missile landed in the center of Tel Aviv.

DUBAI. - Israeli authorities reported this Tuesday that missiles launched from Iran struck Tel Aviv and other parts of the country, following statements by U.S. President Donald Trump about "productive conversations" with the Islamic regime. The Israeli military reported several impact points across the country since early morning. The attacks caused significant damage to at least three residential buildings, while about six people received medical attention for injuries in Tel Aviv.

Israel, for its part, bombed the southern suburbs of Beirut and said it was targeting infrastructure used by the Hezbollah political and military group, linked to Iran. An attack on a residential apartment southeast of the Lebanese capital killed at least two people, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. In Kuwait, power lines were hit by shrapnel from anti-aircraft defenses, causing partial power outages for several hours. Missile alert sirens sounded in Bahrain, and the Saudi Ministry of Defense indicated that it had destroyed 19 Iranian drones targeting its oil-rich Eastern Province. Oil prices briefly fell below $100 per barrel after Trump stated that his administration was in talks to end the war. But that respite was short-lived: the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose again to $104 per barrel in morning trading, an increase of more than 40% since Israel and the United States began the war on February 28.

Trump initially set a deadline of the end of Monday, Washington time, for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, but yesterday he gave Tehran five more days to comply. Since the beginning of the war, Iran has allowed a small number of ships to pass through the strait, which leads from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, but has emphasized that it will continue to attack vessels linked to the United States, Israel, or their allies. Its leaders distrust Washington's motives, in part because Tehran was in negotiations with the United States before the surprise attack that started the war. Iran was also in talks last year when the United States and Israel attacked its nuclear facilities, initiating a 12-day war. "Trump, Netanyahu, and people of their ilk are liars by nature, and their way is to create division," said Esmail Kowsari, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, according to statements cited by the semi-official Fars news agency.

Their nature is to sow discord so that they can make people distrust the authorities and believe that those actions have taken place, when no such action has occurred." Trump's extension of the deadline comes as a contingent of thousands of Marines is heading to the area, fueling speculation that the United States could attempt to seize the island of Kharg, located off the coast of Iran and vital to the country's oil network. The United States bombed the island in the Persian Gulf more than a week ago, hitting its defenses, but claimed that it had left the oil infrastructure intact. Iran has threatened that if the United States appears to be about to land troops, it could mine the waters of the Persian Gulf, which would complicate an amphibious assault and also endanger all maritime transport in the area.
