U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iran on Friday to make a deal on its nuclear program before it faced more attacks from Israel that he said would be "even more brutal.""There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end," Trump said in a post on his social media platform."Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left."Israel launched an array of strikes against dozens of Iranian targets on Friday, hitting nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders during the start of an operation to prevent Tehran from building a nuclear weapon.Israel said it had struck Iranian nuclear targets to block Tehran from developing atomic weapons, even as the Trump administration was preparing to hold a sixth round of talks on Sunday on Tehran's escalating uranium enrichment program.Trump said Friday he had given Tehran a 60-day ultimatum, which expired on Thursday, to make a deal. He encouraged Tehran to take advantage of a "second chance."Amid his push for diplomacy, the U.S. president praised Israel's attacks in brief telephone interviews with television outlets early Friday."I think it's been excellent," Trump told ABC News in an interview. "And there's more to come. A lot more."Trump told CNN that "The people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners."Trump is scheduled to attend a security meeting at the White House at 11 a.m.

US air defence systems involved in shooting down Iranian missiles: Reports
Jerusalem, June 14 (UNI) Israel received help from US air defence systems and a Navy destroyer in shooting down Iranian missiles launched in response to Israel's attack on Iran, The Washington Post reported, citing US officials. A US official told RIA Novosti on Friday that the United States was assisting Israel in shooting down Iranian missiles. Anonymous US officials told The Washington Post that the US has both ground-based Patriot missile defence systems and Terminal High Altitude Air Defence systems (THAAD) in the Middle East. American air defence systems, as well as a US Navy destroyer in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, were used to shoot down Iranian missiles heading toward Israel, the officials said. US fighter jets are also patrolling the sky in the Middle East and the US is shifting its military resources, including ships, in the region, The Washington Post reported. Iranian permanent representative to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani told the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Friday that Israel's aggression against Iran was intentional and fully backed by Washington. Iravani emphasized that Iran "will not forget that our people lost their lives as [a] result of the Israeli attacks with American weapons. These actions amount to a declaration of war." Iravani said that at least 78 people were killed and 320 others were injured as a result of Israel's strikes against Iran, which started in the early hours of Friday, as part of Operation Rising Lion. Attacks across Iran - including Tehran - killed top military officials and Iranian nuclear scientists. US Representative Pitt McCoy said on Friday during a UNSC meeting that the United States was informed about Israeli strikes against Iran ahead of time but was not militarily involved in the operation. Iran launched a counter-offensive, dubbed Operation True Promise 3, against military targets in Israel on Friday, in response to Israel's strikes. Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei has called Israel's attacks a crime and vowed Israel would face a "bitter and terrible fate." UNI SPUTNIK ARN PRS

U.S. marines move into Los Angeles amid protests over immigration raids
Los Angeles, June 14 (UNI) About 200 U.S. marines have been deployed to Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, to protect a federal building there, the military said on Friday, after a week of protests over the current administration's immigration raids in the city. U.S. Army Major General Scott Sherman, commander of the Task Force 51, which includes more than 4,000 California Army National Guard soldiers and about 700 marines, said at a press briefing that those marines had completed civil disturbance training. But Sherman said the marines will not participate in law enforcement activities. Some of the marines were seen standing guard outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles area. The 17-story federal building on Wilshire Boulevard is home to many of Los Angeles' federal offices, including the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Los Angeles field office. U.S. President Donald Trump has made decisions to dispatch over 4,000 National Guard members and about 700 active-duty marines to the Los Angeles area despite the objection of California Governor Gavin Newsom and other local officials. About 2,800 service members, including 2,100 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines, were deployed to the greater Los Angeles area, said U.S. Northern Command in a news release on Wednesday, adding that the Marines had completed required training and would be serving alongside National Guard soldiers within the next 48 hours. The Marines were reportedly undergoing civil disturbance training at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in Orange County, located south of Los Angeles. The Trump administration won a swift legal victory on Thursday night when a federal appeals court blocked a lower court's order issued just hours earlier that would have returned 4,000 California National Guard troops to state control, allowing the military deployment in Los Angeles to continue. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay just hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled Thursday evening that Trump had illegally federalized California's National Guard and violated the Constitution. The appellate court's new order not only allows the National Guard troops to continue operating under federal command but also indicates that the legal battle between Washington and the Golden State will continue. The dramatic legal reversal capped a day of courtroom confrontation between the Trump administration and California over the unprecedented federal takeover of state military forces. Hundreds of people have been arrested in Southern California since the protests over federal immigration enforcement started a week ago, with more protests planned in the coming weekend across the region and the country.

Israel Apologises For Map Showing J&K As Part Of Pakistan After Indians Slam ‘Friend's Blunder'
Last Updated: The Israel Defense Forces admitted its graphic 'failed to precisely depict borders' after a social media backlash over showing Jammu and Kashmir outside India The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has issued a public apology after posting a map on social media that inaccurately depicted India's borders, showing Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan. The post, shared on X (formerly Twitter) late Friday evening, was part of a broader message highlighting Tel Aviv's view of Iran as a 'global threat". But it quickly sparked a wave of criticism from Indian users who flagged the erroneous map and demanded immediate correction. The backlash prompted the Israeli military to respond directly to one of the complaints, saying: 'This post is an illustration of the region. This map fails to precisely depict borders. We apologise for any offense caused." This post is an illustration of the region. This map fails to precisely depict borders. We apologize for any offense caused by this image.— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) June 13, 2025 The clarification came roughly 90 minutes after the original tweet went up and was addressed to an X account called 'Indian Right Wing Community", which had publicly highlighted the map and tagged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'Now you understand why India remains neutral. In diplomacy, no one's really your friend." Now you understand why India remains neutral. In diplomacy, no one's really your friend.— Indian Right Wing Community (@indianrightwing) June 13, 2025 Several others followed, urging the IDF to delete, correct, and repost the map. Some pointed out that the depiction undermined India's territorial integrity and questioned why a close ally would make such a mistake. Indian map is incorrect…. have some shame— Shivani Kapur (@CricketMaiden88) June 13, 2025 Why did you post the wrong map of India? — Being Political (@BeingPolitical1) June 13, 2025 Your people need to learn few stuff about India sir @ReuvenAzar I hope you will escalate it with your forces. As you can see in the comments, we are very particular about our maps. — Elite Predators (@elitepredatorss) June 13, 2025 The incident also drew political reactions back home, with Congress leader Pawan Khera criticising the government over its close ties with Israel, suggesting that such lapses reflect poorly on India's diplomatic positioning and its claims of global influence. Another day, another feather inVishwaguru's cap. His'friend' shows Jammu & Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. — Pawan Khera 🇮🇳 (@Pawankhera) June 13, 2025 As of now, the Indian government has not officially responded to the incident. The Map And What Sparked The Backlash The map was part of a tweet that read: 'Iran is a global threat. Israel is not the end goal, it's only the beginning. We had no other choice but to act." The graphic in question was intended to show the range of Iranian missiles, with concentric red circles emanating from Iran and shading over a wide swathe of territory, covering Saudi Arabia, Libya, Ethiopia, India, China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey, and others. However, the map's depiction of India's borders was incorrect, showing Jammu and Kashmir outside the country, effectively implying it was Pakistani territory. India's Firm Stand On J&K India has repeatedly made its position clear that Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, including areas illegally occupied by Pakistan and China for decades, are integral and inalienable parts of the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated this stand just last month in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and during the launch of Operation Sindoor, India's retaliatory strike on terror infrastructure across the border. Why The Map Error Stings The cartographic error has caused particular dismay because of the strong and carefully nurtured relationship between India and Israel in recent years. In 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel, a landmark trip that cemented ties in areas such as agriculture, cybersecurity, defence, and trade. Today, India is among Israel's top five trading partners, alongside the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and China. It is also one of the largest buyers of Israeli military equipment. Against this backdrop, the use of an incorrect map by the Israeli military, whether accidental or careless, has struck a nerve in Indian strategic circles and among the public. top videos View all Israel-Iran Conflict The incident comes amid a sharp escalation between Israel and Iran. On June 13, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeting key Iranian military and nuclear facilities, including the Natanz site. In retaliation, Iran fired over 150 ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, marking one of the most direct confrontations between the two nations. While both sides reported casualties and damage, the broader concern is the risk of a full-scale regional conflict, with global powers urging restraint.
