Saudi Arabia issued emergency alerts over what it called a hostile aerial threat, including the first warning in Riyadh since fighting escalated with Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen. At least one explosion was heard in the capital, but authorities reported no casualties or damage and did not identify the cause. Saudi Arabia has previously said it intercepted Houthi missiles and drones. Iran’s state television said Hossein Pedram was executed after being convicted of spying for Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and sharing classified information on sensitive military sites in Isfahan province. He was reportedly arrested after missile bases and other sites were targeted during last year’s 12-day air war by the U.S. and Israel. The executions have drawn international criticism from rights groups. The head of U.S. Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper, said the U.S. military supported the movement of 1 billion barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz over two months and claimed Iran had exported zero barrels because of a U.S. blockade. Cooper said primary shipping lanes had been cleared of mines and that oil, natural-gas and cargo traffic during the past two weeks was its highest in six months, although monitors said it remained below prewar levels. Iran continues attacking ships while asserting control over the waterway, which carried about one-fifth of the world’s traded oil and natural gas before the war. Israeli strikes killed three men in Gaza, including one in Shijaiyah, the son of Gaza’s Health Ministry director general in Jabaliya, and one in a later strike on a civilian vehicle in Gaza City; at least four others were wounded in the vehicle attack. Israel said it struck military operatives, while Gaza officials said Israeli fire has killed more than 13,780 Palestinians since the ceasefire last October. Israel also struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon after two soldiers were wounded by an explosive device, while Lebanon’s state news agency reported three strikes in Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa without casualties. Pakistan and Iran discussed energy supplies and safe commercial shipping, amid pressure on Pakistan’s government from higher fuel prices and an Islamist party’s threat to march on Islamabad. Iran charged organizers of a Tehran race after women ran without headscarves, with officials saying about 5% of participants breached the rules. An explosion at an arms depot in Syria’s Deir el-Zour province killed 11 soldiers and wounded others. In Gaza, more than 280,000 children have returned to schools operating in tents and damaged classrooms, while UNRWA says 95% of the 182 fully equipped schools it operated three years ago have been lost.
