The IRGC’s PR office has issued a statement saying it hit the headquarters of the US army at the Harir Air Base in Erbil, in Iraq’s Kurdistan. The Israeli military has again ordered residents of southern Lebanon to flee their homes. In a post on X, it threatened residents living in areas south of the Litani River, warning that “air strikes are ongoing” as it operates “with great force in the area”. The death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in Lebanon surpassed 486, while nearly 700,000 individuals have been displaced across the country amid continuous cross-border fire between Israel and Hezbollah. A Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest, Pierre al-Rahi, was killed by Israeli tank fire in the Christian village of Qlayaa. He had reportedly refused an Israeli order for the forced evacuation of the town, which is located a few miles from the Israeli border. Turkiye said on Monday that NATO air defences shot down a ballistic missile in Turkish airspace fired from Iran, the first such incident. Infrastructure and energy markets Putin said Russia, the world’s second-largest oil exporter, is ready to work again with European customers to deal with a global energy crisis. President Emmanuel Macron said France and its allies were preparing a mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The bombardment of Iranian oil facilities has driven up global oil and gas prices, prompting G7 finance ministers to announce that they are prepared to release energy stockpiles to stabilise the markets. The conflict has heavily affected global markets, forcing Gulf states to temporarily halt oil and gas production and causing fuel prices to surge. Crude prices plunged to about $90 after Trump threatened to intensify Iran attacks if Tehran stopped the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, a day after reaching almost $120 a barrel.
