Israel strikes Iran military targets after Iranian missile attack

• Further exchanges of fire could unravel the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and lead to the resumption of the war.
• President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hours before the strikes not to retaliate after Tehran conducted a retaliatory attack on Israel.

Between the lines: A U.S. defense official said the U.S. military was not involved in the Israeli strikes on Iran.

• The official said the Israeli strikes were "relatively limited" in their scope.

The latest: Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the U.S., said on X that Iran had fired 11 ballistic missiles at his country earlier, adding: "Israel is now targeting Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites, as well as infrastructure facilities unrelated to the energy sector."

• If Hezbollah were to fire at Israel, Leiter said the Tehran-backed militant group's command center in Dahieh "will be hit hard," adding: "This has nothing to do with Iran."

State of play: Explosions were heard in the Iranian cities of Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, Tabriz and Kermanshah, according to Iranian state media.

• Iran closed its airspace around Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport following the strikes.

• An hour after the Israeli strikes in Iran, a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen towards central Israel, but it was intercepted, the IDF said.
• Shortly after, sirens went off in Tel Aviv. It was the first attack from Yemen since the April 8 ceasefire.
• Earlier on Sunday, Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs in response to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said.

What we're watching: Tehran had threatened to expand its attacks and target U.S. bases in the region if Israel retaliates raising concerns that further exchanges could trigger a wider regional conflict.
