Israel attacks on Iran will intensify, vows Netanyahu
US President Donald Trump has lauded Israel's strikes and warned Iran of much worse to come. He said it was not too late to halt the Israeli campaign, but only if Tehran quickly accepted a sharp downgrading of its nuclear program at talks with Washington due to be held on Sunday.

Israel warns Iranians near weapons facilities to leave
Israel is warning Iranians living near weapons production facilities in Tehran to evacuate as the two nations continue to exchange missile attacks. "The Israeli military will strike these sites and will continue to peel away the Iranian snake's skin in Tehran and everywhere - targeting nuclear capabilities and weapons systems," Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement on Sunday. Israel had earlier issued an evacuation warning to Iranians residing near weapons facilities in Iran, an Israeli military spokesperson said in a post on X in Arabic and Farsi. The spokesperson said the warning included all weapons factories and supporting facilities. Israel launched its biggest military strike against Iran on Friday, saying its goal was to stop Iran from developing atomic weapons and to take out Iran's ballistic missile capabilities.

Donald Trump's financial disclosures reveal surprising income streams
US President Donald Trump continues to enjoy income streams from scores of luxury properties and business ventures, many of which are worth tens of millions of dollars, according to a financial disclosure form filed late Friday. Released by the Office of Government Ethics, Trump's 2025 financial disclosure spans 234 pages in all, including 145 pages of stock and bond investments. It is dated Friday with Trump's signature. One of the largest sources of income is the US$57,355,532 (A$88 million) he received from his ownership stake in World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency platform launched last year. The form shows that World Liberty's sales of digital tokens have been highly lucrative for Trump and his family. Trump's three sons, Donald jnr, Eric and Barron, are listed on the company's website as co-founders of the firm. Separately, Trump's meme coin, known on crypto markets simply as $TRUMP, was not released until January and is therefore not subject to the disclosure requirements for this form, which covered calendar year 2024. It was a lucrative year for Trump when it came to royalty payments for the various goods that are sold featuring his name and likeness. Among the royalty payments: 'Save America' (coffee table book) — $3,000,000 Trump Sneakers and Fragrances — $2,500,000 Trump Watches — $2,800,000 The Greenwood Bible — $1,306,035 '45' Guitar — $1,055,100 NFT licensing and royalties — $1,157,490 The filing also includes a listing of liabilities, including at least $15,000 on an American Express credit card and payments due to E. Jean Carroll, the woman who successfully sued Trump over sexual abuse and defamation, though he is still seeking to appeal the decision. The rest of the document includes dozens of pages of lengthy footnotes about his various assets. The form was filed to comply with federal requirements for executive branch office holders. By comparison, the form former President Joe Biden filed in 2024 was 11 pages and consisted largely of conventional sources of income like bank and retirement accounts, while Kamala Harris' was 15 pages. Many of Trump's key assets are held in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump jnr, his eldest son. They include more than 100,000 shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, the social media company that went public in 2024. Trump is the largest shareholder, and his holding of nearly 53 per cent is worth billions of dollars. Those holdings were still disclosed in the form.

Albanese confirms Trump meeting as Americans take to streets
The prime minister has confirmed he will meet Donald Trump face-to-face as millions of Americans take to the streets to protest against the US president. Anthony Albanese is preparing for one of the most important diplomatic discussions of his career when he holds talks with Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada on Tuesday, local time. The prime minister will be trying to negotiate an exemption from controversial US tariffs. But he faces an uphill battle to cut through with his message as Trump stares down domestic unrest and renewed conflict in the Middle East. Albanese was unperturbed as he confirmed the much-anticipated meeting to reporters in Seattle on Saturday, local time. 'Obviously, there are issues that the US president is dealing with at the moment, but I expect that we will be able to have a constructive engagement,' he said. 'We'll have a discussion as two friends should.' Albanese said he would raise tariffs and emphasise the importance of the AUKUS security pact, under which Australia is due to acquire nuclear-powered submarines from the US. Both men have already spoken on three occasions but Tuesday's arrangement is the first time they will meet in person. Australia is facing 10 per cent tariffs on goods exported to the US and — like all US trading partners except the UK — 50 per cent tariffs on aluminium and steel sent to America. Supplies of critical minerals and access to the Australian market for US beef could be used as bargaining chips during the talks. Albanese did not want to make 'grand declarations' prior to the meeting, but he reiterated he would put forward Australia's interests. 'It is also in the interests of the United States for Australia to be treated appropriately,' he said. Tensions between two countries have ebbed and flowed in recent days after Australia, alongside several other countries, was criticised by the US for sanctioning two Israeli government ministers. Australia has also pushed back against US calls to increase defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP, while Washington has launched a review into the AUKUS agreement to ensure it aligns with Trump's 'America first' agenda. The prime minister arrived in Seattle after holding bilateral talks in Fiji and was expected to leave for the G7 on Sunday. He used an event involving US business and technology leaders to sing the praises of 'free and fair trade' ahead of the tariff talks, hailing a $20 billion commitment from Amazon to expand its Australia data centre operations. Albanese is also expected to hold talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other world leaders during the summit. He landed in America on the same day a controversial military parade commemorating the US army's 250th birthday took place on the other side of the country, in Washington DC. The event coincided with Trump's 79th birthday and represents the first such military parade in more than three decades. Millions of Americans across the nation gathered to protest the US president as part of 'No Kings' rallies held in major cities, while hordes also attended the parade in support of armed forces. Protest organisers accused Mr Trump of staging a 'made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday' with the military parade, which falls on Flag Day — the date when the US flag was adopted by congress. Tens of thousands marched to Seattle's towering Space Needle as they chanted, 'no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA'. For Stephany Simonelli, who donned a fake crown with a cross and a sash that read 'no kings', it was her first time taking part in a march or rally. 'This just felt absolutely imperative for democracy,' she told AAP. 'I'm really afraid for our country. We, in America, really need to step up and take a stand.'
