Iran Continues to Launch Retaliatory Strikes Throughout the Region

HeadlineApr 08, 2026

Despite the ceasefire, Iran continued to launch retaliatory strikes throughout the region. Three boys in southern Israel were wounded by an Iranian missile fired after Trump announced the truce. A security official tells The Times of Israel that the Israeli Air Force is continuing to carry out strikes in Iran. In the UAE, operations were suspended at the Habshan gas complex due to fires from falling projectile debris after what Abu Dhabi described as a “successful interception” of an Iranian missile. Earlier on Tuesday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had attacked Saudi Arabia’s Jubail petrochemical complex in retaliation for strikes on an Iranian petrochemical facility the night before. The King Fahd Causeway, a series of bridges linking Saudi Arabia to the island country of Bahrain, closed again Tuesday amid Iranian missile attacks.
