Britain Could Possibly Support Israel Against Iran: Finance Minister
British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said on Sunday that Britain could potentially support Israel in its war with Iran that started on Friday, June 13, according to Reuters. Reeves noted that Britain's decision to send additional military jets to the Middle East was mainly driven by its intension to protect British bases and personnel. 'We have, in the past, supported Israel when there have been missiles coming in,' she added. Reeves also stated that they are sending in assets to safeguard their interests and support their allies. In 2024, Britain protected Israel from missile attacks from Iran. The British government also shot down Iranian drones heading for Israel in April. Moreover, it indicated that two of its fighter jets and an air-to-air refueling tanker participated in intercepting Iranian missiles in October. On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed three more Iranian nuclear scientists, raising the total number of scientists slain to nine, according to Gulf News. Currently, both countries are trading missiles and attacks amid intensifying efforts to halt the conflict.

Trump Hints at US Involvement in Iran-Israel Conflict
President Donald Trump has indicated that the United States might engage in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. During an interview with ABC News, he expressed openness to Russian President Vladimir Putin acting as a mediator. This statement comes as tensions rise in the Middle East, with both nations exchanging heavy aerial assaults. Ongoing Nuclear Talks and Potential Mediation According to Trump, discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program continue. He noted that Tehran appears eager to negotiate a deal, especially following recent military exchanges with Israel. 'It's possible we could get involved,' Trump stated during an off-camera interview with ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott. He emphasized that the United States is 'not at this moment' participating in military actions. Trump confirmed that Putin is prepared to mediate the conflict. 'He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it,' Trump explained. This potential mediation could play a crucial role in de-escalating tensions between the two nations. Escalating Violence and Diplomatic Efforts On Sunday, Israel and Iran engaged in heavy aerial assaults for the third consecutive day. Casualties have increased significantly as Israel launched large-scale attacks targeting Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. These actions have prompted retaliatory strikes from Iran, further complicating the situation. Oman, which has previously mediated discussions on the nuclear issue, announced the cancellation of a sixth round of talks between Iran and the United States. Despite this setback, Trump reassured that discussions between the two sides are ongoing. 'No, there's no deadline' on negotiations, he stated when asked about a time limit for Tehran to engage. Trump emphasized that both parties are actively communicating. 'They'd like to make a deal. They're talking. They continue to talk,' he remarked. He suggested that the recent clashes between Israel and Iran might have accelerated the urgency for a nuclear agreement. 'It may have forced a deal to go quicker, actually,' Trump concluded. As the situation develops, the international community watches closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the Iran-Israel conflict. Short link : Post Views: 1
