Munition from Israel war explodes in Iran, killing one: Media
Munition left from Israel's war with Iran earlier this year exploded on Tuesday in the Islamic Republic's west, killing one person, state media said. Official news agency IRNA said that 'unexploded ordnance of the Zionist regime' detonated near the city of Beyranshahr, in Lorestan province of western Iran. 'The incident left one person dead and nine people injured,' it added, quoting a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The 12 days of fighting in June saw Israel bomb Iranian nuclear and military sites as well as residential areas, killing more than 1,000 people, including senior commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks that killed dozens in Israel. The United States, which briefly joined the war by striking Iranian nuclear sites, announced a halt in fighting on June 24. While the hostilities ended, there was no agreement formalizing the ceasefire. Iranian officials have since maintained that Tehran remains ready in case another confrontation breaks out with its sworn enemy Israel. On Sunday, Yahya Rahim Safavi, a military advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, told local media the country was 'preparing plans for the worst-case scenario.'

US envoy meets top Israeli Druze leader to discuss situation in Syria's Sweida
US envoy Tom Barrack met Israeli Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Syria's Sweida, where recent armed clashes left hundreds dead and heightened concerns over instability in the south. 'Today I had a warm and informative meeting with Israeli Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif and his team,' Barrack said in a post on X. 'We discussed the situation in Sweida and how to bring together the interests of all parties, de-escalate tensions, and build understanding.' Sweida, a majority-Druze region in southern Syria, has seen rare but deadly outbreaks of violence in recent months amid deepening frustration over economic collapse, corruption, and local clashes with armed groups.
