Iran-Israel war has entered the second week but both countries continue relentless strikes sending shockwaves across the middle-east and the world. People on social media are urging for the solution and are asking when will this Israel Iran war end? While Iran has already rejected US President Donald Trump's 'surrender' proposal, Israel has said they were targeting the nuclear facilities and also hinted that the regime change would be the optimum outcome.Israel's military emphasized it was preparing for the possibility that the war could turn into a lengthy campaign, AP reported. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel's military operation in Iran would continue 'for as long as it takes' to eliminate what he called the existential threat of Iran's nuclear program and arsenal of ballistic missiles.But Netanyahu's goal could be out of reach without US help. Barring a commando raid or even a nuclear strike, Iran's underground Fordo uranium enrichment facility is considered to be out of reach to all but America's 'bunker-buster' bombs. Trump said he would put off deciding whether to join Israel's air campaign against Iran for up to two weeks.Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday told Iran's foreign minister that resuming Iranian-U.S. talks on Tehran 's nuclear programme was the only way to achieve a solution to their dispute and the conflict with Israel, the Turkish Presidency said. Erdogan met Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on the sidelines of an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation meeting in Istanbul. In a statement, his office noted that Erdogan said Israel had to be stopped immediately, Reuters said.The war between Israel and Iran erupted on June 13, with Israeli airstrikes targeting nuclear and military sites, top generals and nuclear scientists. At least 722 people, including 285 civilians, have been killed in Iran and more than 2,500 wounded, according to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group.Iran has retaliated by firing more than 450 missiles and 1,000 drones at Israel, according to Israeli army estimates. Most have been shot down by Israel's multi-tiered air defences, but at least 24 people in Israel have been killed and hundreds wounded.A1. Turkish President is Tayyip Erdogan.A2.

Iran arrests German national, accuses him of 'espionage' in nuclear and military facility areas
Iran has accused and arrested a German national for espionage on its nuclear and military facilities inside the country, according to state TV Channel Two. Iran branded the man as a dual German national as well as a spy. The German national was arrested in the Markazi Province, according to reports, with officials alleging he had "dozens of instances of espionage and/or sabotage". According to a BBC report, the accused had entered the country disguised as a tourist, but has been spotted frequently filming sensitive areas across the country, some of which even include military and nuclear facilities in Iran. This marks an increase in the number of arrests made in the country, amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. A BBC report on this reads, "An unspecified number of people in several provinces, including Markazi, Isfahan and Tehran, have been detained on related charges since Israel's attacks on Iran started."

Tehran gurdwara closed? Now, local Sikhs claim it's open
Amritsar: There is confusion over the closure of the lone gurdwara in Tehran, the national capital of war-hit Iran, with some local Sikhs claiming on Saturay that they had never closed down the shrine. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They, however, clarified that they were not carrying out the daily parkash (ceremonial waking up) of the Guru Granth Sahib. Sources said the conflicting statements were the outcome of internal politics. Amardeep Singh Anand, a Sikh from Tehran, said the gurdwara had never been closed down during the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict and they were committed to safeguarding the saroops of Guru Granth Shaib. "Three of the saroops are newly installed, and the community wishes to retain them in Iran. We are capable of securing them, even under the worst conditions," he said. One saroop, he added, geld deep emotional and historical significance for the community, and they did not intend to send it to India. He confirmed that the remaining two saroops were being considered for relocation to India for their safety. Anand's clarification came soon after an unnamed statement by the Gurdwara Management Committee (GMC), Tehran, claimed that Tehran's Bhai Ganga Singh Sabha Gurdwara (BGSSG) had been open throughout the conflict, but without the parkash of Guru Granth Sahib. The unnamed statement from GMC also stated that the daily prayer, Panj Bani, was recited every morning and the Rehra Sahib every evening. "Only the parkash is not being conducted temporarily. This decision was taken out of deep respect, to prevent any possibility of beadbi (disrespect), especially during these trying times," the statement read. In recent past, BGSSG former vice-president Lajpal Singh Anand and former Tehran resident Singh Chandok claimed that the gurdwara had been closed due to safety reasons. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now An Iranian gardener, Abbas, and a caretaker, Harjit Singh, are in the gurdwara where four saroop of SGGS have been placed. Reacting to the statement, Anand said the management reopened the gurdwara on Saturday morning only, after the issue was raised through media. "They reopened under pressure from the global Sikh community," said Lajpal, adding that the committee had itself admitted to the parkash of Guru Granth Sahib being suspended. He refuted the claim that Panj Bania and Rehra Sahib were being recited every morning and evening. Puneet Singh Chandok, president of the Indian World Forum, also claimed that the gurdwara was closed and opened on Saturday only, after the issue was raised in media. Amardeep Singh refused to comment on claims by Singh Chandok and Lajpal Singh.

Why US moved B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Guam and how far is it from Iran?
The United States moved its B-2 bombers to Guam on Saturday, Reuters reported, citing two sources. This comes as tensions between Israel and Iran rose over the past week, with President Donald Trump weighing whether Washington should take part in Tel Aviv's strikes against Tehran. The White House has not confirmed why the bombers were deployed and if it is connected to the conflict in the Middle East. US moved B-2 Stealth Bombers to Guam on Saturday (AFP) The B-2 is equipped to carry the US's 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which is designed to destroy targets deep underground. Washington has hinted that this weapon could be used to strike Iran's nuclear capability. One official told Reuters that no further orders had been given yet to move the bombers beyond Guam. Reports suggested that the move reduces sortie times compared to flights from Missouri, enhancing readiness for potential strikes.

Distance from Iran to Guam The approximate distance from Guam to Iran is 7,500 kilometers (4,660 miles). The B-2's unrefueled range of 9,000–10,000 kilometers allows it to reach Iran from Guam, though mid-air refueling, supported by KC-46 Pegasus tankers. Israel said on Saturday it had killed a veteran Iranian commander during attacks by both sides in the more than week-long air war, while Tehran said it would not negotiate over its nuclear program while under threat.

Trump has said he would take up to two weeks to decide whether the United States should enter the conflict on Israel's side, enough time "to see whether or not people come to their senses," he said.
