Netanyahu suggests killing Iran's supreme leader would end conflict
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to assassinate Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying it would 'end the conflict' between the two arch-foes.
In a 20-minute interview with US network ABC News, the Israeli leader insisted his country's deadly aggression to 'defang'
Iran was justified and equated Khamenei to a 'modern Hitler'.
But when asked about reports that US President
Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill the supreme leader out of concern it would escalate the Iran-Israel showdown, Netanyahu was dismissive.
'It's not going to escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict,' he said.
'The 'forever war' is what Iran wants, and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war,'
Netanyahu said.
'In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression, and we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil.'

Hanoi hangover: why North Korea's Kim snubs Trump's advances for Russia's embrace
Trump has signalled fresh interest in direct engagement with North Korea, with the White House confirming last week that 'the president remains receptive to correspondence with Kim Jong-un' following reports that Trump had sent another letter to Pyongyang – which North Korean officials declined to accept. But analysts say Kim is increasingly unwilling to risk another high-profile encounter, citing lingering scepticism after the collapse of the 2019 Hanoi summit, which damaged his domestic standing and deepened distrust of Washington's intentions. Instead, North Korea appears focused on strengthening its military capabilities and bolstering internal stability, while pursuing what Hong Min, a senior researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification, describes as 'peaceful but cold coexistence' with South Korea Trump and Kim at the start of the historic first US-North Korea summit in Singapore in June 2018. Trump has said he remains receptive to talks with Kim.

Trump urges full evacuation of Tehran
Trump urges full evacuation of Tehran Smoke rises following what Iran says was an Israeli attack on Sharan Oil depot in Tehran on Monday. Photo: Reuters US President Donald Trump on Monday urged residents of Tehran to leave, backing warnings from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has launched a massive attack on Iran. "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social account during a Group of Seven summit in Canada, without elaborating. Nearly 10 million people live in the Iranian capital. The warning comes as Israel ramps up attacks in Iran which it says are aimed at destroying the its contested nuclear work. The Israeli military earlier issued a notice urging residents of one district of Tehran to evacuate, an echo of its tactics in Gaza where it has displaced most of the Palestinian population since the October 7, 2023 attacks. Trump has repeatedly declined to say if the United States would participate in Israeli military action, although he says it was not involved in initial strikes. The White House said the US leader will leave the G7 summit on Monday night – a day early – due to the Israel-Iran war. "Because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X. Trump earlier told reporters at the summit: "As soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something. But I have to leave here." (AFP)

America and rare earths: a little urgency, please
America usually has other countries over a barrel. Not the other way around – unless you're old enough to remember when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cracked the whip and Washington and the West usually fell in line. But last week China forced President Trump to back down on tough tariffs that were hurting the PRC. Why the retreat? Rare earth minerals. They're nearly all sourced from China and Beijing choked off exports. Major American companies – car makers for example – warned Trump they'd have to curtail or shut down operations in a matter of weeks. That's never good for an incumbent party's political prospects. The Trump administration reduced tariffs in exchange for Beijing's sort-of agreement to allow rare earth exports to US customers. How much and how fast is unknown – but expect the PRC to slow-roll this and squeeze all it can – such as sensitive business data – from its customers. At best, this is a temporary reprieve. The US side also agreed to drop plans to ban Chinese students from US universities. One also suspects a quiet agreement to relax US controls on semiconductor and AI-related technology exports to China. US tariffs remain at 55%, but that's much lower than the 145% originally imposed. And the PRC probably can handle that level. There's still a 20% 'fentanyl tariff' imposed for Chinese-origin fentanyl that has killed well over 500,000 Americans over the last decade. This ought to be 2000%. Instead, US negotiators settled for China agreeing (once again) to discuss the fentanyl issue. China controls around 90% of the world's rare earth processing. And America imports most of its rare earths from the PRC. It's not that they are rare. The US has plenty of rare earths. It's just much cheaper to source from China, and US environmental laws make domestic mining and processing difficult and expensive. They are essential for commercial manufacturing – cars, electronics, computers, etc. And more ominously they're needed for military production – to include aircraft, ships, submarines, radars, missiles, lasers, satellites, guidance systems, night vision devices and more. It's not Trump's fault. He got caught holding the hot potato. China's chokehold on rare earths was known a long time ago. American business and the US military knew. And Congress knew as well. And they knew the Chinese might use their dominant position to squeeze other countries. In 2010 after Japan detained a Chinese fishing boat that rammed a Coast Guard ship near Japan's Senkaku islands, China banned rare earth exports to Japan. Japanese industry squirmed. The boat and its skipper were returned. And Japan set about finding alternate sources of rare earths. The United States? Apparently it did nothing. It was 15 years of idiocy by the business class, officialdom and the military's perfumed princes. Yes, some people sounded the alarm, but they got nowhere. Being known as 'the rare earths congressman' wasn't a vote-getter. The Obama and Biden administrations' environmental zealots were glad to have 'dirty' rare earths produced elsewhere – but not in America. Businessmen are all about efficiency, low cost and maximizing profit. Rare earths would always be available somewhere – and anyway the Chinese wouldn't choke the flow. After all, the Chinese weren't an enemy. They just wanted to get rich. Such rationalizations come easy to the MBA class. But rare earth vulnerability was also not a priority for America's military leaders. Think about this. Nobody saw anything wrong with being dependent – over 90% dependent – on the PRC for a crucial resource that the military needs to fight? The PRC had declared America 'the main enemy' and has built a military intended for one main purpose: to defeat the US military. But they would keep supplying the US military with vital materials – without which it can barely function? Who in the top ranks was raising merry hell about this state of affairs? Nobody. Instead, it was Legions of Merit and promotions all around. The rare earth problem is now getting attention. It has been for a few years. The Trump administration has bought a little time, but the PRC will use rare earths as a Sword of Damocles as long as possible. Still there's no sense of urgency. 'Drill baby drill' and Yankee ingenuity got American energy independence back in Trump 1.o – even if Team Biden later decided it didn't like the idea. So maybe it will be 'Rare earths baby rare earths' this time around. If so, restoring tax credits for domestic critical minerals mining and processing to the administration's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is essential. Pundits say it will take ten years to break the China dependency. They are often wrong. When Americans put their minds to something – and are given freedom to operate – things always happen faster. But first stop admiring the problem and get moving. Faster. Grant Newsham is a retired US Marine officer and former US diplomat.
