Iran war updates: More explosions as US says launching new strikes

These were the updates on the US-Israel war on Iran and Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon from July 12, 2026.

QESHM ISLAND, IRAN - APRIL 28: A Cargo boat navigates the sea on April 28, 2026 on Qeshm Island, Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's latest proposal for ending its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz calls on the United States to end its naval blockade of Iran's ports, and sets aside questions about what to do with Iran's nuclear program. The United States has not formally responded to the latest proposal, which was delivered by Iran's foreign minister to Pakistan two days ago. (Photo by Asghar Besharati/Getty Images)
