Live Blog Update| War on Iran 22 August 2026 23:28 BST Good evening, Middle East Eye readers. If you're just joining us, here are key developments from the day: Tehran warned that it would target the interests of any countries that help the US sanctions against Iran, threatening to block oil exports through Hormuz. Israeli attacks across villages in southern Lebanon continued throughout the day. An explosive device detonated on a bus carrying security forces near Damascus. Syrian authorities said an investigation into the attack is underway. Israeli Defence Minister said a strike on northwestern Syria's Abu al-Duhur airbase was carried out due to alleged Turkish plans to deploy troops there. Israeli Foreign Minister said Israel does not seek escalation with Turkey but "will not accept" a Turkish presence in Syria. At least one person was killed and others wounded in an Israeli attack on a home in central Gaza's Deir el-Balah. Israeli forces shot and wounded three Palestinians near the separation barrier in al-Ram, north of Jerusalem, while two others were injured in a settler attack in Arraba, south of Jenin.
