Netanyahu assure qu'Israël a rempli plus de la moitié de ses objectifs de guerre contre l'Iran
Iran launched missiles across the Middle East early Tuesday in response to new Israeli strikes on its capital Tehran, hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said more than half of its military targets had been achieved.
"It is certain that half the journey has been completed. But I do not want to set a timetable," Netanyahu told the American television channel Newsmax.
Sirens wailed in Jerusalem as the Israeli military said it had retaliated against new Iranian missiles, while local Iranian media reported new explosions in Tehran that caused "power outages in parts" of the capital.
Iranian media also reported that initial investigations indicated that the strikes in central Iran had hit some "military sites".
New Iranian attacks against Gulf countries
Iran fired more missiles at Gulf countries. Debris from intercepted projectiles injured four people in Dubai, while a Kuwaiti oil tanker caught fire in the city's port.
In Saudi Arabia, authorities said they had intercepted eight ballistic missiles, hours after Iran's top diplomat called on Riyadh to "eject US forces".
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that Tehran's attacks on the Gulf Arab states were only aimed at US forces, even though civilian targets were hit throughout the region.
Mr. Araghchi's comments, addressed to Saudi Arabia, come as growing anger among Gulf Arab states is prompting them to encourage the United States to continue the war.
"Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation," he wrote on X, sharing a photo purportedly showing damage sustained by a US aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base in the kingdom. "Our operations target enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians and who cannot guarantee any security. ... It is high time to expel US forces."
US President Donald Trump has claimed to be in direct contact with senior Iranian officials. On Monday, he stated that the United States was negotiating with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.
The former commander of the Revolutionary Guards had been presented as Washington's negotiating partner, but he denied that Iran was in talks with the United States and said that the talks facilitated by Pakistan were merely a cover for US troop deployments.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei once again denied the existence of negotiations, stating that the United States had only sent a request for talks through intermediaries, including Pakistan.
According to Mr. Baghaei, Tehran received a 15-point proposal from the Trump administration containing "excessive, unrealistic and irrational" demands, but there have been no direct discussions.
Mr. Qalibaf, the speaker of parliament with whom Mr. Trump says he is negotiating, said that Iranian forces "were waiting for US troops to arrive on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever," according to state media.
On Monday, Mr. Trump again threatened to destroy Iran's energy resources and other vital infrastructure, including desalination plants, on a massive scale if an agreement to end the war with Tehran was not reached "shortly".
He threatened to deploy ground troops to seize critical oil infrastructure on Iran's Kharg Island, a military maneuver experts say would endanger American lives and might not end the war.
"Sending troops on the ground could be the most psychologically compelling way to strike a blow against Iran," said Michael Eisenstadt, a former U.S. military analyst who now directs the military and security studies program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
"On the other hand, you are putting your own troops in danger," he added. "The region is not very far from the mainland. They can therefore potentially unleash a great deal of destruction on the island, if they are willing to inflict damage on their own infrastructure."
A U.S. Navy ship carrying approximately 2,500 Marines recently arrived in the Middle East, while at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division are expected soon. Another 2,500 Marines are being deployed from California.
The Trump administration has not specified what all these troops will do, but the 82nd Airborne Division is trained to be parachuted into hostile or contested territory to secure key territories and airfields.
