Iran Fires Fresh Missile Waves At Israel, Rejects Trump Talks Claim As ‘fake News’

Iran fires fresh missile waves at Israel, rejects Trump talks claim as ‘fake news’ Iran launched a new round of missile attacks on Israel on Tuesday as regional tensions escalated, dismissing recent claims by US President Donald Trump that negotiations to end the conflict were underway as “fake news” and raising fresh alarm across the Middle East and global markets.

Iranian forces fired multiple waves of missiles at Israeli territory, including strikes targeting urban areas such as Tel Aviv, prompting air‑raid sirens and defensive interceptions by Israel’s military. Civilian areas were affected, with reports of damage and injuries as the barrage continued despite ongoing efforts to cool hostilities. The strikes follow weeks of conflict that have seen repeated exchanges between Iran, Israel and allied forces, in what has become a broader regional war. In recent days, tensions have also extended to other Gulf states amid interconnected military action Earlier this week, President Trump said that discussions aimed at ending the war with Iran had been “very good and productive,” suggesting diplomatic progress. Iranian authorities swiftly denied any formal negotiations with the United States, labelling the claims as misinformation intended to influence markets and political perceptions. Tehran insisted no US‑Iran talks had taken place and rejected characterisations of dialogue as “fake news.” Iranian leaders have also accused Washington of attempting to manipulate global oil prices and financial markets by promoting unfounded reports of dip The renewed missile attacks and diplomatic denials have heightened geopolitical uncertainty, driving volatility in global energy markets. Brent crude and other benchmark oil prices have surged on fears of extended instability and disruption to regional energy infrastructure, particularly near the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route. World leaders and regional powers remain on alert as the conflict shows few signs of de‑escalating. Efforts by third‑party nations to mediate have been reported, with some countries expressing willingness to host talks but no breakthrough has been confirmed. The current exchange of strikes can be traced back to earlier US and Israeli military actions targeting Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure, which triggered strong retaliation from Tehran and its allies. Since then, missiles, drones and air strikes have been traded across multiple fronts, resulting in significant casualties and widespread destruction. The deep mistrust between Tehran and Washington underscored by contradictory public statements has complicated efforts to end the cycle of violence, leaving prospects for de‑escalation uncertain.
