WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD, March 30 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Monday that Iran launched multiple waves of missiles at Israel, and an attack had also been launched from Yemen for only the second time since the U.S.-Israeli war began.
It said two drones from Yemen were intercepted early Monday but gave no further details. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia entered the war on Saturday, firing missiles at Israel, escalating a conflict that has engulfed the Middle East. Israel's military also said the Air Force was carrying out strikes on Tehran on Monday, targeting what it described as military infrastructure.
The latest attacks came a day after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran had been meeting "directly and indirectly" and that Iran's new leaders have been "very reasonable", as more U.S troops arrived in the region.
Pakistan, which is acting as an intermediary between Tehran and Washington, said it was preparing to host "meaningful talks" in the coming days aimed at ending the month-long Iran war. It was not clear whether the U.S. and Iran had agreed to attend.
