Air raid sirens sounded across parts of Israel, including Tel Aviv, where interception blasts were heard, and smoke was visible.
Police reported that one missile that hit the Tel Aviv area carried roughly 100 kg of explosives, damaging buildings and vehicles, according to Israeli Channel 12.
Missile debris and impacts were also reported in Rosh Ha’ayin, east of Tel Aviv, causing property damage as rescue teams responded to several locations, AP reported.
Six people were lightly injured in central Israel following the recent Iranian barrage, according to Israeli media.
On Monday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that the US and Iran had held “very good and productive” conversations about a “complete and total resolution of hostilities in the Middle East.” He said he was postponing for five days a plan to strike Iran’s energy infrastructure.
However, Iranian media reported Tuesday that Israeli-US strikes hit two gas facilities and a pipeline, hours after Trump stepped back from his threat.
"As part of the ongoing attacks carried out by the Zionist and American enemy, the gas administration building and the gas pressure regulation station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan were targeted," said the Fars news agency.
The facilities in central Iran were “partially damaged,” Fars added.
It said another attack reportedly targeted the gas pipeline of the Khorramshahr power plant in southwest Iran, quoting the governor of the city bordering Iraq.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf denied that any talks had taken place. “No negotiations have been held with the US, and fake news is used to manipulate financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped,” he wrote on X.
Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they were launching new attacks on US targets, describing Trump’s statements as “psychological operations” that were "worn out" and did not affect Tehran’s strategy.
Global markets had rallied in relief on Monday after Trump extended his ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for about 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, by five days.
On Tuesday, those gains came under pressure as markets reacted to conflicting signals from Tehran and Washington. US Treasury yields rose, and the dollar recovered some of its losses, while global markets continued to contend with an energy shock caused by Iran’s threat to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude futures (LCOc1) climbed 4.2 percent to $104.21 a barrel, partially reversing Monday’s 10 percent drop, while US crude (CLc1) rose 4.3 percent to $91.93 per barrel.
"The underlying situation is still incredibly fragile or flammable," said IG market analyst Tony Sycamore.
Potential agreement
Trump told reporters that his special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who had been negotiating with Iran before the war, held discussions with a top Iranian official late Sunday and would continue talks on Monday.
"We have had very, very strong talks. We'll see where they lead. We have major points of agreement, I would say, almost all points of agreement," he said on Monday.
A European official said that, while no direct negotiations had taken place between the US and Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, and Gulf states were relaying messages.
A Pakistani official and another source told Reuters that direct talks to end the war could be held in Islamabad as soon as this week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement that he spoke with Trump on Monday and that Israel would continue attacks in Lebanon and Iran. He added that Trump saw the possibility of leveraging the achievements of Israel’s military and the US armed forces to achieve the goals of the war in a deal, "a deal that will preserve our vital interests.”
Although there was no immediate confirmation that talks had taken place as described by Trump, Iran's foreign ministry described initiatives to reduce tensions. It said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reviewed developments regarding the Strait of Hormuz with his Omani counterpart and agreed to continue consultations.
The Pakistani official said US Vice President JD Vance, along with Witkoff and Kushner, is expected to meet Iranian officials in Islamabad this week, following a call between Trump and Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir. The White House confirmed the call.
Iranian media reported that President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif discussed the impact of the war on regional and global security.
Iran has restricted access to the Strait of Hormuz, barring vessels linked to the United States, Israel, and their allies, amid the ongoing American‑Israeli war that has killed over 2,000 Iranians since 28 February. Only friendly countries, including China, India, and Pakistan, have been allowed safe passage through the strait.
“The Strait of Hormuz is open; it is only closed to tankers and ships belonging to our enemies, those attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass,” Araghchi said.
Iran responded to Trump’s threats to strike its power plants by warning that it would target the infrastructure of Israel and US allies in the Middle East, raising the prospect of a prolonged and severe disruption to global energy supplies.
