Stay informed with real-time updates on the ongoing U.S.–Israel war on Iran. The latest developments are displayed above for quick viewing, with full news below for detailed coverage.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency has relayed a statement from the IRGC, denouncing Israel’s “catastrophic assault on Beirut” as an atrocity.
Unless Israel swiftly halts its aggression against Lebanon, the IRGC has threatened to unleash a forceful response against the perpetrators of this regional menace.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that a potential ceasefire with Iran would not extend to Hezbollah, emphasizing that ongoing operations against the militant group will persist.
The initial day of the ceasefire bears a striking resemblance to previous days, sparking speculation that it may take some time for the calm to settle in. GCC leaders are now grappling with the concept of a lasting resolution, which hinges on two primary conditions: Iran’s assurance that it will refrain from employing retaliatory tactics in the future and the establishment of a more substantial defensive buffer. In response, we can anticipate the signing of defensive agreements with the US and European nations.
GCC leaders have come to the realization that the US does not provide a stable or strategic partnership, prompting them to explore alternative options or deepen cooperation among themselves. As a result, we can expect a heightened diplomatic effort and increased pressure on the international community, particularly at the UN, to provide guarantees that will facilitate security in the Strait of Hormuz and GCC airspace. This push is further underscored by the severely strained relationship with Iran.
In a statement to the press corps in Washington, DC, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the administration’s stance on Iran, specifically the prohibition on uranium enrichment within the country, remains unchanged.
A sudden shift in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran unfolded after a surprise ceasefire announcement from Trump, following a social media post by Pakistan’s prime minister. This unexpected development has catapulted Pakistan to a pivotal position in the region. At the forefront of this shift is Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s military chief, who has garnered the admiration of US President Trump. The US leader has publicly praised Munir on multiple occasions, describing him as a skilled fighter, a crucial figure, and an outstanding individual. Following their initial meeting in June, Trump expressed his honour at meeting Munir. In his statement on the ceasefire, Trump extended gratitude to Prime Minister Sharif and Munir for their unwavering efforts to bring peace to the region. However, the question remains: what factors contributed to Munir’s ability to win the respect of the unpredictable US leader?
According to Iran’s Mehr news agency, air defences have been swiftly deployed in the Iranian cities of Isfahan and Kerman, prompting widespread speculation.
Reports from the semi-official news agency indicate that a series of explosions were heard in Isfahan, a major urban centre located in central Iran.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made it clear that any potential ceasefire agreement with Iran would not extend to Hezbollah, emphasizing that the Israeli military will continue to target the militant group. In a statement to reporters, Netanyahu highlighted the success of recent Israeli operations against Hezbollah, saying the military has successfully struck locations the group had deemed secure. The ongoing Israeli assault on Lebanon has resulted in significant losses, with at least 254 fatalities and over 1,165 wounded individuals.
A grim milestone has been reached in the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with the death of Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Wishah bringing the total number of journalists killed by Israeli forces to 262 since the start of the war.
Gaza’s Government Media Office issued a scathing condemnation of the killing, labeling it a symptom of a broader pattern of “systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation.”
In a strongly worded statement, the office placed responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the Israeli occupation, as well as the United States administration and other nations accused of complicity in the alleged genocide, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
In a strongly worded statement, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry denounced the Israeli military’s relentless assault on Lebanon, which has resulted in a staggering loss of life, claiming at least 254 people and leaving 1,165 others injured.
The Foreign Ministry deemed the airstrikes a reckless escalation of violence and a blatant disregard for Lebanon’s sovereignty, as well as a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Ministry urged the global community to take decisive action, demanding that Israel cease its brutal attacks on Lebanon and be held accountable for its actions, which are in direct contravention of international norms and agreements.
In a Jerusalem press conference, the Israeli prime minister expressed his admiration for the strong bond between the US and Israel, while also emphasizing Iran’s current state of weakness, which he believes surpasses any previous point in time.
