Analysis
Emphasizes Iran's conditional ceasefire, contingent on Israel halting its attacks.
"Trump said it was possible that he could send his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance to meet Iranian officials but added that depended on how events played out."

"U.S. President Donald Trump posted an ominous message on his social media site, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran but later denied reports he had rushed back to Washington to work on a ceasefire."

"Israeli air strikes hit targets in Iran with explosions seen in the capital Tehran."

"Iran’s threat on Monday to walk away from the international treaty comes after Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, killing several nuclear scientists and scholars along with top military commanders."

"Trump's comments reflect a mix of defiance and frustration regarding international relations and domestic political pressures."

"Trump says he's seeking a “real end” to the Iran-Israel conflict, not just a ceasefire."

"The strikes have killed at least 224 people in Iran and wounded 1,277 since Friday."

"Trump’s negotiating position before the Israeli attack was that Iran should stop uranium enrichment entirely, and he blamed Tehran for not accepting that proposal."

"The ongoing violence on Tuesday came after United States President Donald Trump struck an ominous note, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran."

"At least 51 Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Tuesday morning while waiting for UN and commercial trucks to enter the territory with desperately needed food, according to Gaza’s health ministry and a local hospital."

"Such control over Iran’s skies, military analysts say, is not just a tactical advantage—it’s a strategic turning point."

"While the measures seeking to constrain Trump are unlikely to pass in the Republican-majority House or Senate, proponents have said that they want to force lawmakers to show where they stand on an issue where the public has been very clear."

"Israel launched massive strikes in Iran, targeting nuclear sites and killing top military leaders in the largest single-day attack on the country since the 1980s."

"The challenge, for Iran, is producing not merely a crude nuclear weapon – which experts say Iran could potentially do within the space of months if it decided to – but also producing a working delivery system, which could take much longer."

"many were not prepared for the cost of the escalating conflict."

"The Iranian people are no longer in control of their futures, and they find themselves watching the trajectories of ballistic missiles, wondering what could have been."

"Macron described the move as a positive development."

"The escalating conflict – and America’s possible role in it – has already led to a schism among vocal Trump supporters."

"A decision that will define Trump’s presidency … and much more"

"The war seems to be escalating."

"The post on X was from the account of the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic spokesperson, Col Avichay Adraee."

"Trump’s early departure is a blow to G7 organizers who had sought to discuss the conflict in the Middle East and were hoping for the US to be a signatory to a statement calling on both sides to de-escalate."

"The back-and-forth has raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region, already on edge, into even greater upheaval."

"The president closed his message with a frightening warning."

"The current defence secretary, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, has shown an appetite for conducting aerial strikes on groups aligned with Iran, including the Houthis in Yemen."

"But this war is not helping us. It is destroying us. It is silencing the very people it claims to save."

"Israel's air campaign has resulted in significant casualties and damage, with 24 Israelis and over 220 Iranians reported dead, as the conflict escalates over Iran's nuclear program."

"If the regime survives, they’d be weaker but could rebuild, with China and India buying Iranian oil."

"Israel remains the main destabilizing force in the Middle East."

"People were filmed fleeing an Israeli attack on Tehran on Monday after Israel had issued evacuation threats warning of attacks on military sites across Iran’s capital."

"The opposition has closed ranks behind the effort, suspending months of bitter criticism against Netanyahu and his handling of the war in Gaza."

"The Israeli military intensified its bombing of civilian targets, striking the building of Iran’s state broadcaster in Tehran as well as the Farabi Hospital in Kermanshah in central Iran, damaging parts of it."

"The attacks between Israel and Iran started on Friday, when Israel launched what it called preemptive air strikes targeting more than a dozen Iranian sites — including key nuclear facilities, nuclear scientists and military leaders — in an operation it said was aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons."

"Israel launched a strike Monday on the headquarters of Iranian state television outlet IRIB, interrupting a live broadcast and sending debris and dust swirling through the studio during a newscast."

"Both countries continue to launch attacks that increasingly complicate the possibility of cooling the conflict in the short term."

"Trump's behavior over the weekend only reinforces the widespread view that his bark is worse than his bite, that he can’t be trusted to follow through on any threat, and—as might be seen in the parade’s dim showing—that his appeal on the home front might be waning as well."

"Iran has condemned Israel’s attack on a state television building in Tehran as a “war crime”, and called on the UN to take action."

"European leaders at the G7 are warning Iran both directly and via Gulf leaders that Iranian concessions will have to be made at the negotiating table, or Israel is likely to press home its military advantage to the point of securing an end to the Iranian government formed after the revolution in 1979."

"The conflict has since escalated with each side launching dozens of strikes."

"Israel’s impunity sets a dangerous precedent, where the strong act as they please and the weak suffer the consequences – convention and law be damned."

"The strike on the secure media compound during a live broadcast is highly symbolic as tensions between Israel and Iran soar."

"Israel’s campaign, militarily and rhetorically, has quickly evolved beyond its initial targets."

"The violence has also resulted in significant damage to residential buildings, power grids, and oil refineries."

"Trump has urged Iran to pursue immediate talks with Israel to de-escalate hostilities, warning that continued conflict could have dire consequences."

"The strike on Iran’s most watched TV station underscores the ongoing tensions and violence in the region."

"US President Donald Trump said Iran and Israel “should talk immediately” about de-escalating their conflict “before it’s too late.”"

"An uprising is very unlikely right now."

"Iran’s key nuclear sites have not suffered any further damage since Friday, the first day of Israel’s attack on the country, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced at a governors’ meeting on Monday."

"The back-and-forth has raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region, already on edge, into even greater upheaval."

"Many Israelis are in shock after the country’s air defence system failed to intercept Iranian missiles, shattering their sense of security."

"Military escalation threatens lives, increases the chance of a radiological release with serious consequences for people and the environment, and delays indispensable work towards a diplomatic solution for the long-term assurance that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon."

"The issue still matters since the possibility of a return to diplomacy rests in part on whether there is still any scope for manoeuvre about a limited Iranian right to enrich, or whether European countries was always backing the Trump administration policy, and will not press for the issue to be reopened."

"The death toll from Israel’s attacks on Iran has risen to more than 220, including 70 women and children, according to reports."

"Iran has threatened to leave the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) as Israeli bombing raids enter a fourth day, underlining the conflict’s potential to trigger a broader war and Tehran’s race to construct a nuclear weapon."

"But not for the first time, Israel is engulfed in a conflict with no clear exit strategy."

"The mutual strikes pushed the death toll from four days of open conflict between the foes close to 250."

"The sheer force of the missile was overwhelming, resulting in extensive destruction and loss of life in the town of Tamra."

"Israel has come under attack, for the third day in a row, as Iran launches a fresh wave of strikes, killing at least five people in Tel Aviv and hitting the port city of Haifa—just hours after Israel bombed the Iranian capital, Tehran."

"Iran’s air defence batteries have been firing overnight in the capital Tehran to counter a fourth night of Israeli strikes."

"The unclear messaging about the extent of U.S. involvement, however, could reflect mixed priorities between the U.S. and Israel."

"Trump hopes Iran and Israel can reach a deal to end the fighting but cautions that it may be prolonged."

"Iranian missiles have struck Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, destroying homes and fuelling concerns among world leaders at this week’s G7 meeting that the conflict between the two regional enemies could lead to a broader Middle East war."

"The morning after, the mood in the Lower Galilee town was somber, compounded by anger over a lack of adequate bomb shelters, an issue that Palestinian citizens of Israel have long warned was a glaring inequality that exists throughout their communities."

"Trump’s increasingly brittle domestic political grounding and his already questionable authority internationally will only complicate his dilemmas."

"Predicting “peace soon” between Israel and Iran, Trump appeared to have learned little from his 2024 election boast that he could stop the Russia-Ukraine war in “24 hours”."

"Israel’s actions have fundamentally reshaped the security landscape of the Middle East in the span of less than two years."

"The new commanders have overseen the launch of hundreds of explosive-laden drones and ballistic and cruise missiles fired at Israel over the past three nights, and signalled their readiness for a prolonged campaign."

"The Trump administration is desperate to keep Israel’s military operation aimed at decapitating Iran’s nuclear program from exploding into an even more expansive conflict and saw the plan to kill Khamenei as a move that would enflame the conflict and potentially destabilize the region."

"The summit risks being a series of bilateral conversations rather than a show of unity."

"Trump waved them off of the plan."

"Iran will also know that while Israel will have its own limit on how much fighting it can endure, the support of the US gives it the ability to replenish munition stocks easier than Iran can."

"The Israeli government discussed the proposed plan with the Trump administration in recent days, and the president balked at it, an anonymous U.S. official told the AP."

"The intensifying conflict has heightened fears of a protracted all-out war and widespread instability in the region."

"The Israel-Iran hostilities – and their potential to upend the world economy – have at least initially usurped the G7 summit agenda, which had been set to be dominated by disputes over the war in Ukraine and US tariffs."

"Videos show fire and thick plumes of smoke rising from Mashhad Hashemi Nejad airport in eastern Iran following an Israeli missile attack."

"Trump seemed confident he could bring Iranian and Israeli leaders together, though he complained that he wouldn't be credited with any hypothetical peace in the media."

"Trump remains concerned about getting dragged into a war he didn’t start and wanted to avoid, and is acutely aware of the complicated politics at play, those officials said."

"The region braced for a protracted conflict after Israel’s surprise bombardment Friday of Iranian nuclear and military sites killed several top generals and nuclear scientists."

"Netanyahu called the attacks an existential threat and warned of a nuclear-armed Iran."

"Netanyahu’s attacks may bring short-term tactical gains for Israel in delaying Iran’s nuclear ambitions and thwarting talks with the US, but they promise a long-term strategic disaster."

"The region braced for a protracted conflict after Israel’s surprise bombardment of Iran’s nuclear and military sites on Friday killed several top generals and nuclear scientists."

"Following decades of enmity and conflict by proxy, it is the first time that Israel and Iran have traded fire with such intensity, with fears of a prolonged conflict engulfing the region."

"The ongoing closures have paralysed daily life across the West Bank, severely limiting mobility, restricting access to essential services, and impacting economic activity."

"For Israel, Saturday night was the bloodiest of the conflict, despite its success in knocking out much of Iran’s military hierarchy and parts of its missile systems over the previous day."

"Iran’s government has defended its retaliatory attacks on Israel as ‘self-defence’ after launching a second barrage of missiles on Saturday night."

"Amid the prolonged trade of deadly missiles between Israel and Iran, and with no immediate end in sight, there’s rising concern that the conflict could spiral even further, directly involving other countries—an outcome that Trump and his fellow world leaders are likely desperate to avoid."

"This is Israel’s current definition of “security”, the most hallowed principle at its core."

"The conflict has raised prospects of a broader assault on Iran’s heavily sanctioned energy industry that could affect global markets."

"Israel’s unprecedented and sudden attacks on Iran’s energy facilities are poised to disrupt the oil supplies from the Middle East, and could shake up global fuel prices, even as both countries threaten each other with even more intense attacks."

"Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Israel’s attacks on his country could not have materialised without the agreement and support of the United States."

"Iran’s foreign minister has accused Israel of seeking to expand the war beyond Iran by attacking a major gas facility in Bushehr province on the Gulf coast."

"Netanyahu suggested that targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and overthrowing his government could be a way to end the war."

"Iran's allies, the self-described “Axis of Resistance,” have been severely hurt by ongoing Israeli attacks since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, particularly Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip."

"The leaders' statement, published as Trump left Canada, said Israel had a right to defend itself, and that Iran was a source of terror that should not have a nuclear weapon."

"The back-and-forth has raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region, already on edge, into even greater upheaval."

"Israel's strikes on Tehran broaden as Trump issues ominous warning."

"Trump's shift in tone comes as the U.S. has repositioned warships and military aircraft in the region to respond if the conflict between Israel and Iran further escalates."

"Trump has said for days that Iran should make a deal."

"The sudden departure only heightened the drama of a world that seems on verge of several firestorms."

"The Israeli military escalated their bombardment of Iranian cities, while Iran showed they could bypass Israel's air defenses — missiles struck Tel Aviv and the Israeli port city of Haifa before dawn."

"Escalation comes with significant and potentially legacy-defining risks for Trump."

"Despite the devastation caused by the missile attack, many residents in Petah Tikva express strong support for Israel's military operations against Iran, believing it is necessary for their safety."

"The move is not in direct response to escalating tensions in the area — with Israel and Iran exchanging missile fire since an Israeli strike on June 13 — and comes amid a scheduled deployment to replace the Carl Vinson Strike Group."

"Israel has used U.S.-supplied state-of-the-art F-35 fighters and other aircraft to carry out hundreds of airstrikes against Iran's air defenses and sites it says are being used to develop nuclear weapons."

"Militarily, Iran is on its knees."

"The IAEA chief said four buildings were damaged in a separate attack on Friday on the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Centre - the central chemical laboratory, a uranium conversion plant, the Tehran reactor fuel manufacturing plant, and a facility to convert uranium hexafluoride to uranium metal, which was under construction."

"Iran has launched waves of missiles at Israel in response to recent airstrikes."

"Iran’s missile attacks on Israel since Friday have left at least 24 people dead, according to Israeli officials, and more than 500 injured."

"The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated, resulting in significant casualties and raising concerns about a wider Middle East conflict."

"The deaths came on the fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes, which has shown no signs of slowing down."

"By the end of last week, the White House’s public tone started to include more support for Israel, and in private it shifted from strong opposition against a widespread military operation to acceptance that it was likely to happen and less resistance to it."

"The attacks raised Israel’s total death toll to at least 18, and in response the Israeli military said fighter jets had struck 10 command centers in Tehran belonging to Iran's Quds Force, an elite arm of its Revolutionary Guard that conducts military and intelligence operations outside Iran."

"The latest salvo comes after a weekend of escalating tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran that raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war."

"Powerful explosions, likely from Israel’s defense systems intercepting Iranian missiles, rocked Tel Aviv shortly before dawn on Monday, sending plumes of black smoke into the sky over the coastal city."

"Trump rejected an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as Trump pushes for a peace deal between the two nations."

"The current situation reminds her of bombings and going to shelters during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, when she was a child."

"Iran's rate of attack on Israel is already slowing down, according to a think tank."

"The conflict between Israel and Iran enters uncharted territory as both sides warn that more could come."

"The Trump administration is desperate to keep Israel’s military operation aimed at decapitating Iran’s nuclear program from exploding into an even more expansive conflict and saw the plan to kill Khamenei as a move that would enflame the conflict and potentially destabilize the region."

"Israel’s strikes against Tehran broaden as Trump issues ominous warning."

"Trump returns from G7 summit early to deal with deadly Israel-Iran conflict."

"As Israel ramps up its strikes on Iranian energy, aviation, and manufacturing infrastructure, its officials are signaling that there's growing interest in pushing for regime change."

"A move of assets toward Israel and Iran certainly isn’t uncalled for — and while evacuating a city of over 9 million people probably isn’t feasible, Tehran and the rest of Iran should know it has two very capable enemies in the United States and Israel and few friends in the Middle East."

"The U.S. message is that if Iran attacks Americans in response, it will be crossing a red line."

"Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated the military campaign is far from over."

"President Trump has controlled the events unfolding in the Middle East and has done so with extraordinary skill."

"The leaders specifically criticize Iran as “the principal source of regional instability and terror,” adding they have been “consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”"

"Nearly 80% of Trump voters backed the United States providing the offensive weapons."

"Since it appears almost inevitable that one way or another Iran will have to abandon its nuclear military ambitions, as well as its sponsorship of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, we may finally be entering a new era in the Middle East of a genuine cooperation between the Arab powers and Israel."

"The war between Israel and Iran continued to escalate Monday, as the Jewish state looks to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program."

"The meeting would focus on a nuclear deal and ending the war between Israel and Iran."

"Israel's actions and rhetoric increasingly appear intended to push out the mullahs who have for decades ruled Iran and worked for Israel's destruction."

"The prime minister also underscored that Iran’s ballistic ambitions extend to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, describing the Islamic regime as a global threat that had to be confronted."

"As Israel pummels Iran, Trump appears to be jettisoning his former MAGA comrades and embracing his inner neocon."

"The status quo is dead because it didn't work."

"Trump stated that Iran “can not have a nuclear weapon” before giving his evacuation orders."

"The expectation is that even if such a proposal is made, it will be based on the American principle of zero uranium enrichment."

"Trump's ambiguous Truth Social post was largely met with confusion and fear."

"Hamas celebrated the fallen Iranian terror chiefs eliminated in Israeli airstrikes, crediting them with significant support for their genocidal movement."

"Netanyahu framed Israel’s actions as a matter of international security, warning that Iran’s ambitions pose a direct threat to the United States."

"President Trump took a page straight from the Iranian diplomatic playbook when he claimed the United States had nothing to do with Israel’s preemptive strike on Tehran and urged the country’s hardline leadership to sit back down at the bargaining table."

"Trump has consistently said that he would not, under any circumstances, allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon."

"President Donald Trump rejected the G7’s proposed statement on Iran because it called for monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, rather than an outright halt to Iran’s program of nuclear enrichment."

"Freedom will come to Iran only when the Iranian street overturns the mullahs."

"Trump’s support for Israel and his Middle East policy appears to have alienated Carlson, as well as other isolationist-minded supporters."

"The ongoing fighting between Israel and Iran is described as painful for both parties."

"Israel’s surprise military campaign against Iran has reshaped the political map of the Middle East in less than a week, as Israeli forces have claimed several victories over Iran’s political and military apparatus."

"The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with at least eight people killed in Israel due to missile attacks from Iran."

"Bipartisan lawmakers are trying to establish now: whether the U.S. could in fact be at war."

"This unlikely alliance is not born out of convenience but out of a shared yearning for freedom and dignity."

"The rising death toll adds to the urgency, with at least 224 fatalities reported in Iran and 13 in Israel following consecutive days of military action."

"Because of their arrogance and because Trump and Netanyahu are not people who will fall for their maneuvering the ayatollahs are doomed."
