Explosions rocked Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and key Iranian cities on Tuesday as the Iran-Israel war entered its fifth day. Israel's air defence intercepted most of the Iranian missiles, prompting authorities to lift air raid warnings in major areas. Tehran claimed to strike Mossad’s centre in Herzliya, while satellite images confirmed damage at Iran’s nuclear sites, including Natanz. Israeli Defence Minister vowed to address Fordow facility, and the UN nuclear watchdog reported direct impact on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. War-risk shipping insurance rates for Israel have tripled. Global leaders, including US President Trump, have urged Iran to “talk before it’s too late.” (PC: HT)
