"Mutual Inferno": Heavy Airstrikes Rock Tehran as Cluster Missiles Hit Haifa Amid Talks of a 45-Day Truce

Tehran faced a devastating wave of strikes on Monday, April 6, 2026, hitting key areas including Azadi Square, Sharif University, and military sectors in Azghal and Bandar Abbas. Simultaneously, Iran retaliated by firing waves of missiles toward central and northern Israel, including at least 15 cluster munitions. Direct hits were reported in Haifa, with shrapnel falling in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Bnei Brak.

The 45-Day Proposal:

As the military escalation peaks, Axios reports that the U.S. and regional mediators are discussing a 45-day temporary ceasefire to allow for permanent peace negotiations. This diplomatic push is a final attempt to prevent President Trump’s "infrastructure blitz"—targeting Iranian bridges and power grids—scheduled for Tuesday evening.
