The development came amid rapidly escalating tensions involving Israel, Iran and Lebanon, with fears growing that the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war affecting critical energy infrastructure across the Middle East.

Israel on Monday carried out fresh airstrikes on targets inside Iran despite a reported appeal by United States President, Donald Trump, urging Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, not to retaliate further following Tehran's latest missile attacks.

The development came amid rapidly escalating tensions involving Israel, Iran and Lebanon, with fears growing that the conflict could spiral into a wider regional war affecting critical energy infrastructure across the Middle East.

According to reports aired by RT, Israeli fighter jets struck multiple locations in Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz and Karaj, shortly after Trump reportedly held a phone conversation with Netanyahu and urged restraint.

The attacks followed an Iranian missile barrage launched against Israel in retaliation for intensive Israeli bombardments targeting Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday.
