Iran is expected to target Israel using high-speed missiles instead of drones or cruise missiles, Axios political reporter Barak Ravid reported on Tuesday, citing a Western source. This strategy would leave less time for interception preparations due to the faster speed of the missiles.”Unlike the April attack, this time Iran is expected to attack Israel only with ballistic missiles that reach Israel within 12 minutes and not with drones or cruise missiles that allow for much longer preparation time for defense and interception,” Ravid wrote on X. According to NBC News, Israel expects Iran to strike “as soon as this evening” and to target military and government sites and not civilian. The IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that the attack is anticipated to be “large-scale.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the Israeli people have to be prepared for the “days of great challenges.” In a video message posted on his X account, Netanyahu called on Israelis “to strictly obey the directives of the Home Front Command” in the coming days. Additionally, he urged Israeli citizens to “stand together,” stressing that “together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will win.” The prime minister’s comments come amid reports claiming that the United States administration has intelligence suggesting that Iran is preparing to launch an imminent ballistic missile attack on Israel.

WASHINGTON  — Iran is preparing to “imminently” launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel, according to a senior U.S. administration official, who warned Tuesday of “severe consequences” should it take place. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter, said the U.S. is actively supporting Israeli defensive preparations. This comes after the Israeli military on Tuesday warned people to evacuate nearly two dozen Lebanese border communities hours after announcing what it said were limited ground operations against Hezbollah.

The United States claimed to have intelligence indicating that Iran is making preparations for a ballistic missile assault on Israel, source a senior White House official.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog called on the international community on Tuesday to intervene and bring calm to the Middle East by stopping Iran.”We are being challenged by an empire of evil emanating from Tehran, and therefore, we are fighting,” Herzog told the ambassadors of Sweden, Slovakia, Belgium, Switzerland, and Papua New Guinea. At the same time, he said that the army is fighting the militant group Hezbollah in order to “change the equation and enable a better life” in both Israel and Lebanon. He added that the current operation only aims to bring calm to the region, especially to the border with Lebanon, so that families can return to their homes.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned Tuesday of “intense fighting” in southern Lebanon between the country’s troops and Hezbollah. Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, urged Lebanese civilians to avoid driving south of the Litani River due to escalating clashes with the militant group. “For your safety, we ask you to avoid movement in vehicles from the north to the south of the Litani River,” he said.

Israel: Raids will target Hezbollah strongholds

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari said on Tuesday that the military is conducting “limited and targeted raids” along the border with Lebanon as a response to Hezbollah’s threat to northern Israel. He stressed that the raids will target Hezbollah strongholds. “Hezbollah turned Lebanese villages next to Israeli villages into military bases all ready for an attack on Israel,” he said, claiming the militant group planned to use them as a “staging ground for an October 7-style invasion into Israeli homes.” He said southern Lebanon is “swarming with Hezbollah terrorists and weapons” and that Israel “has no choice” but to push Hezbollah back. He repeated that Israel does not want to harm Lebanese civilians but insisted that it will “continue to do everything necessary so that the citizens of Israel can return to their homes in safety and security.”

“Yes, we are probably deliberately moving, temporarily losing market share, but we are looking forward not to today, but to the future,” Novak told Al Arabiya in an interview. He added that Russia will remain a member of OPEC+ beyond the end of 2025 when the current output cuts are supposed to be phased out.

“Everything is based on the agreements we have here and now,” Novak told Al Arabiya’s Hadley Gamble. “We will see how the situation develops in the markets. Probably we will decide to prolong our relations restricting development on this level or that level.” Speaking about the long-term outlook for oil and the goals of the supply control agreement, Novak said “It is important that, firstly, the energy sectors in exporting countries develop so that investments continue. This requires prices that would satisfy both exporters and importers, so as not to slow down the growth of demand, prices should not be high.” OPEC together with Russia and the Central Asian oil producers, accounts for close to half of global oil production, Reuters noted in a report on the interview. This gives the extended group a bigger influence over global prices although in the past couple of years, this influence has been eroded by the shift to algorithmic trading on the oil market. Indeed, algo trading has come to dominate oil markets, ousting some traditional players and making the price outlook even harder to analyze. This has been a big part of the reason why OPEC+ delayed the start of phasing out the output cuts, initially planned for this month. Now, OPEC+ expects to start bringing back supply to market in December, if the market conditions are more favorable.
