Israel’s air forces shifted their focus back to Iran on Friday after a night of heavy bombardment in Lebanon, which was quickly becoming one of the largest fronts in the regional conflict.

By Parisa Hafezi and Phil Stewart DUBAI/WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. and Israeli air war against Iran widened on Monday, with no end in sight as Israel attacked Lebanon in response to strikes by Hezbollah and Iran kept up its attacks on Gulf states that host U.

The Israeli military said it had begun a “broad-scale” attack in Iran’s capital, hours after hitting Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. The Pentagon said Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes were decreasing. A banner of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader who was killed in strikes on Saturday, hangs in an area of the capital hit in an attack on Thursday.

Israel made the announcement only hours after it had unleashed a major bombardment Thursday evening on a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut, in another sign that Lebanon is fast becoming a new front in the widening conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. A series of airstrikes caused huge explosions in the Dahiya area, on the outskirts of the city, in the most intense attack since a cease-fire in late 2024 halted fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. At least three buildings totally collapsed. Hundreds of displaced people were sleeping on the streets of downtown Beirut, some huddling around small fires to stay warm. The intensified bombardment came not long after Israel military officials acknowledged that their forces had moved deeper into Lebanon than previously disclosed and Israeli armed vehicles began massing at the border. The Israeli military had said earlier that it was going to hit targets in the Dahiya, warning people to evacuate to the north and setting off a panicked exodus on Thursday.

Mr. Trump’s comments, in interviews with Reuters and Axios, were the most explicit he has made about his view of an American role in creating a new government in Tehran.
