Israel, Iran trade strikes as U.S. says it is pausing attacks on energy targets

TEL AVIV — Iranian forces launched a fresh round of missile and drone strikes toward several Persian Gulf states and Israel on Tuesday, according to national authorities, as Israel said its forces were striking Iran and Lebanon, including targets in Beirut. The exchanges came after President Donald Trump said the United States was postponing strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days while negotiating with Iran to end the war.
