The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority has announced a temporary closure of its airspace for 12 hours, suspending operations at Damascus International Airport amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel . Iraq has also temporarily closed its airspace and suspended air navigation, civil aviation officials told Al Jazeera. Iran’s military central command said Sunday that Israel’s latest strike on the southern Beirut suburbs had “crossed all red lines” , demanding a halt to its campaign in Lebanon . “The Israeli army must stop its attacks on southern Lebanon and the suburbs, and if it expands its attacks to that region or responds to Iran’s action, it will face more devastating and regrettable blows,” said general Ali Abdollahi, the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya command, without directly mentioning missile salvos that Israel said it was intercepting. The Israel military says it has intercepted all missiles fired by Iran so far, multiple outlets are reporting. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said the Israeli military must stop its attacks on Lebanon and warned that if Israel escalates its offensives in Lebanon or responds to Iran’s actions, it will face “more crushing and regretful blows”, according to Reuters. The Israeli military has warned of a second barrage of missiles fired from Iran , shortly after it reported the first such salvo since a fragile ceasefire went into effect in April, AFP reported. “An additional barrage of missiles was launched toward the State of Israel,” it said. “The aerial defense array is currently identifying and intercepting threats.” The Israeli military said it identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the state of Israel a short time ago , adding that defense systems are operating to intercept the threat, Reuters has reported. The military says its defense systems are working to intercept the missiles, Al Jazeera reported, adding that sirens have been activated in several areas. It is the first such bombardment since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April. Israel’s military said its police criminal investigation unit was investigating the killing of a Palestinian infant by an Israeli soldier in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The military has acknowledged that seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal was killed and his parents both wounded on Friday when a soldier opened fire on their car. “Based on the findings of the preliminary examination, it was decided to open an investigation by the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division,” Israel’s military said. “Upon its conclusion, the findings will be transferred to the Military Advocate General’s Office,” it said in a statement. Lebanon health ministry says two people have been killed and 20 wounded in the Israeli strikes on Beirut. The figure for the number of people injured was previously 11. Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said regional governments were “not in a position to demand reparations”, responding to reports the US could use Iranian assets to compensate regional allies for war-related damages. Gharibabadi added in a post on X that Iran’s assets were “neither war spoils for Washington nor a payment fund for its allies”. A source familiar with the matter had told Reuters on Saturday the US will make Iranian assets available to Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) agreed on Sunday to a fourth increase in its oil output targets in as many months, despite the US war with Iran still preventing several of the group’s members from pumping more, Reuters reported. The war has cut oil flows via the strait of Hormuz, creating the world’s biggest-ever supply crisis as key OPEC members including Saudi Arabia have been unable to supply customers in full since the end of February. The crisis for OPEC deepened when the United Arab Emirates left the organization after almost 60 years. On Sunday, the seven members decided to increase targets by 188,000 bpd from July, OPEC said in a statement. This is the same as the June hike, which was adjusted down from monthly increases of 206,000 bpd in May and April to take into account the UAE exit. Pete Hegseth dismissed concerns on the status of the US-Iran ceasefire while speaking to reporters. “Of course it’s a ceasefire,” the US defense secretary said. He added that the US is “negotiating actively”. “Things are happening, shipping is moving through,” he said. “Iran shouldn’t be shooting at it. And when they do, we take care of that as you would expect. But ultimately, we think a deal, a great deal, is likely coming soon.” The US naval blockade of Iran and its green light on Sunday for Israel to escalate attacks in Lebanon make US bases and Israeli assets in the Middle East legitimate targets, Iran’s top negotiator said in a post on X . The comments from Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf , follow Israeli attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, a stronghold of Iran’s ally Hezbollah . “They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and through the naval blockade and violation of agreements regarding Lebanon they showed that they only understand the language of power,” Ghalibaf wrote, referencing the US and Israel. Ghalibaf then claimed the latest military action turned US assets and bases in the region “into legitimate targets”. Trump also said he and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain on the same page during his Meet the Press interview, despite some disagreements arising over Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon . “We get along very well,” the US president said. “We’ve been great comrades. We did a very, very big number on a certain country that was nothing but trouble for 47 years. I disagree with him on a couple of things.” Earlier in the week, it was reported that Trump had angrily confronted Netanyahu over Israel’s threats to resume airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
