The huge salvo of missiles and drones launched from the arid plains of Iran toward Israel was the kind of direct conflict between the Middle East powers that the world had long feared would mark the explosion of a full-blown regional war.

Iran's state-run shipping company said it started its first transfer of Russian goods to India, using a new trade corridor that transits the Islamic Republic, an Iranian port official said.

Iran's top atomic official said an incident at the country's largest uranium enrichment facility was an act of "nuclear terrorism" by opponents of talks between the Islamic Republic and world powers to revive a landmark 2015 accord.

When the leaders of India, Iran and Afghanistan gathered in Tehran in the spring for a ceremony marking India's development of a strategic Iranian port, they recited Persian poetry and said their partnership would "alter the course of history."

Iran took a step closer to energy-hungry Asian nations India and Afghanistan as it looks to recover from a decade of international sanctions.
