Netanyahu says Israel has not ruled out killing Iran's supreme leader
TEL AVIV — Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ABC News in the United States that he has not ruled out eliminating Iran's Supreme Leader, claiming it would end not escalate the ongoing fighting.
"We've had half a century of conflict spread by this regime that terrorizes everyone in the Middle East; has bombed the Aramco oil fields in Saudi Arabia; is spreading terrorism and subversion and sabotage everywhere," Netanyahu said.
Those comments to US media come on the same day that a US official said that President Donald Trump had previously vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Israel reportedly recently told the Trump administration that it had a plan to kill Khamenei, according to the source who spoke to AP on the condition of anonymity.
The White House voiced its opposition to the move, the official said. — Euronews

Israel Claims Killing Iran's New Top Military Commander
Israel announced on Tuesday it killed the Iranian Top Military Commander, Ali Shadmani, in an overnight strike, just four days after taking charge, according to Al-Arabiya. Killing Iran's Top Wartime Commander 'A sudden opportunity overnight, the (Israeli air force) struck a staffed command center in the heart of Tehran and eliminated Ali Shadmani, the war-time Chief of Staff, the most senior military commander, and the closest figure to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,' the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Possibility of Eliminating Supreme Leader On Monday, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to exclude the possibility of eliminating Iranian Supreme Leader stating that this move would not escalate the war; it would end the war. 'It's not going to escalate the conflict; it's going to end the conflict,' Netanyahu said in an interview with ABC News. A New Deal or New Regime Meanwhile, Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak stated that military action by Israel alone would not be enough to stop Iran's nuclear progress, according to Arab News. Barak mentioned that there are only two ways to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions whether to reach a diplomatic breakthrough or change the Iranian regime. 'My judgment is that because Iran is already what's called a threshold nuclear power, the only way to block it is either to impose upon it a convincing new agreement or alternatively a full-scale war to topple down the regime,' Barak added. Israeli-Iranian Tensions 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, bringing the total number of scientists slain to nine, Gulf News reported. Currently, both countries are trading missiles and attacks amid intensifying efforts to halt the conflict.

Arab Nations Urge for De-escalation as Trump Calls Iranians to Evacuate Tehran
As the conflict rages between Iran and Israel, 21 Arab and Muslim countries called for de-escalation and a comprehensive ceasefire to restore calm in the region. Meanwhile, the US President, Donald Trump, issued a warning to the Iranian people, urging them to evacuate Tehran as the Iran-Israel conflict entered its fifth day. Arab-Islamic Condemnation In a joint statement on Monday, 21 Arab and Muslim countries expressed concern over the dangerous escalation in the Middle East, warning of its repercussions on the security and stability of the entire region. They also stressed the need for ending Israeli hostilities against Iran, urging for de-escalation and a comprehensive ceasefire. According to the Middle East News Agency, the signatories included the Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Pakistan, Türkiye, Chad, Libya, Algeria, Sudan, Djibouti, and other Arab and Muslim countries. The ministers reiterated their rejection and condemnation of the Israeli attacks against Iran, which started on June 13, 2025, and any violations of the international law and the UN Charter. They also emphasized the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Nuclear-Free Middle East In their joint statement, the foreign ministers underscored their support for a Middle East that is free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. They also urged all countries in the region to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Moreover, they warned against the targeting of nuclear facilities under the International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards, as such attacks would represent a blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws, including the Geneva Convention. The Arab and Muslim foreign ministers urged for the return to negotiations as the only viable way to reach a sustainable agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Furthermore, the foreign ministers stressed the need to protect the freedom of navigation in international waters and to avoid actions that undermine maritime security. They concluded their statement by emphasizing that diplomacy and dialogue are the only path to resolve disputes in the region, reiterating that the current crisis cannot be solved through military means. Trump Warns Iranians As the Iran-Israel conflict entered its fifth day, the US President stressed that Tehran cannot possess a nuclear weapon, urging the Iranian people to evacuate the capital. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' he wrote on Truth Social. Iran and Israel have been exchanging heavy airstrikes since Friday, June 13. The Israeli strikes have killed at least 224 people in Iran, mostly civilians, while 24 people have been killed in Israel, according to Reuters. No US Ceasefire Proposal Trump left the G7 Summit in Canada a day earlier due to the ongoing escalation in the Middle East. In the light of this, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, said that the US President had proposed a ceasefire deal for Iran and Israel, Reuters reported. 'There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions. And I think this is a very good thing,' Macron said. However, Trump denied that he was working on a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, saying that he cut short his trip to Canada for another reason. 'Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Ceasefire. Much bigger than that,' he posted on Truth Social in response to Macron's remarks. US-Iranian Meeting The US is discussing the possibility of holding a meeting this week between Trump's Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, Axios reported citing four sources briefed on the matter. The meeting aims to discuss a diplomatic initiative that includes a nuclear deal and an end to the ongoing conflict. Trump has so far refused to join Israel in its war on Iran, although the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been pushing him to do so and bomb the Iranian enrichment facility at Fordo. The White House maintains that the US is still seeking a deal with Iran and that the American forces are in a defensive posture to protect US assets in the region. 'American forces are maintaining their defensive posture, and that has not changed. We will defend American interests,' the White House Spokesperson, Alex Pfeiffer, wrote on X. Similarly, the US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, told Fox News that the US would defend its interests in the region, stressing that Trump was still pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran. 'President Trump hopes there will be peace,' he said. In response, Araghchi said that Israel must stop its aggression before any talks. 'If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential,' he posted on X. 'Israel must halt its aggression, and absent a total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue. It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That may pave the way for a return to diplomacy,' he added. Short link : Post Views: 3

Oil Prices Jump after Trump's Warning, Stocks Extend Gains
Oil prices rallied Tuesday after Donald Trump urged Tehran residents to evacuate, stoking fresh fears of all-out war as Israel and Iran continued to pound each other with missiles. Hopes that the deadly conflict can be contained helped most equities rise, while the US president's earlier claim that Iran wanted to make a nuclear deal also provided a little optimism. After Friday's surge sparked by Israel's attacks on its regional foe, crude ticked more than one percent lower Monday as traders bet that the battle would not spread throughout the Middle East and key oil sites were mostly left untouched, said AFP. But prices edged back up after Trump took to social media calling for the evacuation of the Iranian capital, which is home to nearly 10 million people. "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign," he said, referring to nuclear talks that were taking place. "What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Oil prices spiked around two percent Tuesday before paring some of those gains, but the comments kept investors on edge amid warnings that an escalation of the crisis could send the commodity soaring again. Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz left Southeast Asia on Monday after cancelling a Vietnam visit, with the Pentagon announcing it was sending "additional capabilities" to the Middle East. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted Israel's campaign was "changing the face of the Middle East". Trump has maintained that Washington has "nothing to do" with its ally's campaign, but Iran's foreign minister said Monday that the US leader could halt the attacks with "one phone call". Traders had been a little more upbeat after the US president -- who is in Canada for the G7 summit -- had said Iran wanted to make a deal, saying "as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something". He later left the gathering in the Rockies, telling reporters: "I have to be back as soon as I can. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand, this is big stuff." Tehran had signaled a desire to de-escalate and resume nuclear talks with Washington as the United States did not join conflict, according to the Wall Street Journal. Stocks mostly rose in Asian trade, with Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei leading gains, though Shanghai and Hong Kong struggled. "Risk assets are enjoying a positive start to the new week amid signs the Israel-Iran war remains limited to the two countries without signs of a possible escalation into a wider conflict," said Rodrigo Catril at National Australia Bank. "Iran is reportedly seeking de-escalation talks, but Israel is not showing signs of slowing down." The gains followed a positive lead from Wall Street, where traders are keeping tabs on the G7 summit world leaders pushed back against Trump's trade war, arguing it posed a risk to global economic stability. Leaders from Britain, Canada, Italy, Japan, Germany and France called on the president to reverse course on his plans to impose even steeper tariffs on countries across the globe next month. Also in view are central bank decisions this week, with the Bank of Japan due to make its latest decision on interest rates later in the day. Officials are expected to hold interest rates steady but tweak their bond purchase policy.
