Iran live updates: Israel strikes Beirut amid hopes for US-Iran deal

The Israel Defense Forces said in a post to X on Sunday that it conducted a new strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut, targeting what it called Hezbollah "infrastructure" in the southern Dahiyeh area of the city.

In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike was "in response to Hezbollah's firing into Israeli territory. Israel will not tolerate firing into its territory."

Israeli and Hezbollah forces continued to exchange fire in Lebanon as American and Iranian officials hinted at a possible deal to end the broader conflict, of which Lebanon is a key theater.

The Israel Defense Forces reported several "hostile aircraft" incursions along the northern border with Israel overnight and into Sunday, with no damage or casualties reported.

In the early hours of Sunday, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia claimed to have launched a drone attack on Israeli forces operating in the southern Lebanese town of Houla.

The IDF issued new evacuation warnings for residents of 13 towns and villages in southern Lebanon on Sunday ahead of airstrikes targeting what it said was Hezbollah infrastructure.

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer welcomed progress made on an Iran peace deal in a call with President Donald Trump on Saturday and underlined "the importance of ensuring any deal delivers a durable and lasting peace," according to the prime minister's office.

Starmer expressed support for Trump’s efforts to bring the conflict to an end and reiterated that the UK stood "ready to support the implementation of any peace agreement and to work with international partners to ensure its success," Starmer's office said in a statement Saturday.

President Donald Trump said a deal between the U.S. and Iran is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

"At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States," Trump said in a post on social media.

"We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!" Trump said.

Earlier Saturday, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said there's a high possibility of the memorandum of understanding being finalized in the coming days, but added that there's currently no plans for an Iranian delegation to travel to Geneva or anywhere else in the next day or two.
