Israel warns of renewed strikes against Iran
On Tuesday, Israeli leaders signaled that military strikes on Iran could resume if necessary, a month after a fragile ceasefire ended their 12-day war.
Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir declared in a public briefing that 'the campaign against Iran is not over,' emphasizing that Tehran and its regional allies remain firmly in Israel's sights.
Israeli Blue and White Party chairman Benny Gantz echoed the warning during the Conference of Presidents in Jerusalem that Iran poses 'a global and regional problem and a threat to the State of Israel.'
'We cannot allow a nuclear Iran, and it was right that we struck there. We may need to strike there again," he added.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stood by last month's American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. 'We will do it again, if necessary!' he wrote on Truth Social, responding to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's admission that the targeted sites had suffered extensive damage.
Tensions between both sides have remained high since the June conflict, which involved nearly two weeks of missile and drone exchanges before a truce was reached.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top military commanders warned Israel and the US of attacking the country again. 'Iran is capable of delivering a stronger blow to its enemies than what it carried out during last month's conflict with Israel,' Khamenei noted in a televised address.

Russia's Medvedev: Trump's threats risk US-Russia war
Shafaq News – Moscow On Monday, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, sharply criticized US President Donald Trump after his threat to shorten the deadline he had given Russia to reach a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. Posting on X, Medvedev vowed that every new ultimatum is a threat and 'a step toward war —not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,' adding that 'Russia is not Israel or even Iran.' Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things:1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran.2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road! — Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) July 28, 2025 Earlier, Trump warned he would impose harsh tariffs on Russia's trading partners if Moscow failed to agree to a ceasefire within 50 days, effectively giving President Vladimir Putin a deadline of September 2. However, during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said he would reduce that 50-day window, suggesting the deadline could be shortened to '10 or 12 days.'
