Al Jazeera News Updates — IRGC Naval Chief killed, US warns Iran to accept deal. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Israel's Defence Ministry says his forces have killed Iran's IRGC naval commander Ali Rizad Tanj siri. Israeli media are reporting he was assassinated in a strike in the southern port area of Bandar Abbas, which is adjacent to the strait of Hamas. Iran has not confirmed his status. The White House has threatened to quote Unleash Hell on Iran if it doesn't agree to a deal to end the war yet, continues to send troops to the Middle East. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Al-Akshi says Trump's talk of negotiations proves the U.S. is losing the fight. The Secretary-General of the Gulf Corporation Council has condemned Iran's actions in the region. He accused Iran of charging ships to safely pass through the strait of Hamas and warned the conflict could cause global food insecurity. Iran has been sending several missiles and rockets towards Israel. There have been powerful explosions in Tel Aviv. That's in central Israel, and at least
four people have been injured because of falling debris from missiles, interceptions. Also in central Israel, there have been explosions and rocket debris across Kofla Kossum. At least six people have been injured. The city is home to Palestinian Israelis, and there has also been an attack on Haifa that's in the north. Israel is targeting villages across southern Lebanon. That says the conflict with Iran's ally, Hezbollah, enters its fourth week. The ground offensive is also gaining momentum, and the Israeli military is advancing into Lebanese territory. But Hezbollah is claiming attacks on Israeli troops operating in some villages along the border. Russia is unable to use at least 40 percent of its oil export capacity after a series of Ukrainian drone attacks. A disputed pipeline attack and the seizure of its tankers at sea. That's according to the Reuters news agency. Reuters is calling it the most severe oil supply disruption in the history of modern Russia. The news hits Moscow just as oil prices exceed $100 a barrel due to the Iran war. Russia is the
world's second largest oil exporter. The UK is preparing to take the sanctions battle with Russia offshore training military teams to intercept tankers suspected of evading sanctions. At the center is Russia's shadow fleet, aging vessels that keep exports flowing, but the move could affect already volatile global energy markets. At least 24 people have died after a bus plunged into a river in central Bangladesh. It happened in the town of Rojbari. That's about 100 kilometers west of the capital Daca. Officials say the vehicle was carrying around 40 passengers when it lost control while driving onto a ferry. Authorities say a few passengers managed to swim too safety before the bus sank and emergency crews say more people may still be missing. Heavy rain and wind have damaged hundreds of tents that are home to displace Palestinians in Gaza. Most of the strip's buildings have been destroyed by Israel leaving hundreds of thousands of civilians without proper shelter.
