A Weakened Iran Can Still Inflict Pain on the US — and the World
While the US attacks have set back Iran's nuclear ambitions and dealt its clerical regime a humiliating blow, the program hasn't been completely destroyed. The US attack may ultimately lead Tehran to end international monitoring of its nuclear program and consider going ahead to develop a bomb. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the top ranks of his military and government winnowed by days of Israeli attacks, hasn't been seen in public in 11 days but remains in control. Even as allies Russia and China have stayed on the sidelines and its network of armed proxies in the region remains weakened, Tehran still has ways to inflict pain on the US as it plans its retaliation.

Israel official demands release of all hostages in Gaza following Hamas ceasefire agreement
An Israeli official demanded the release of all the Hamas hostages. This comes after Hamas agreed to an earlier plan for a ceasefire. Mediator Qatar expressed guarded optimism. A senior Israeli official on Tuesday said the government stood firm on its call for the release of all hostages in any future Gaza ceasefire deal, after Hamas accepted a new truce proposal. Mediators are awaiting an official Israeli response to the plan, a day after Hamas signalled its readiness for a fresh round of talks aimed at ending nearly two years of war. Mediator Qatar expressed guarded optimism, noting the latest proposal was 'almost identical' to an earlier version agreed to by Israel. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior Israeli official told AFP the government's stance had not changed and demanded the release of all hostages in any deal. The two foes have held on-and-off indirect negotiations throughout the war, resulting in two short truces during which Israeli hostages were released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, but they have ultimately failed to broker a lasting ceasefire. READ | Hamas agrees to 60-day Gaza ceasefire proposal, return of half the Israel hostages Qatar and Egypt, backed by the US, have mediated the frequent rounds of shuttle diplomacy. Egypt said on Monday that it and Qatar had sent the new proposal to Israel, adding 'the ball is now in its court'. Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said on Tuesday that Hamas had given a 'very positive response, and it truly was almost identical to what the Israeli side had previously agreed to'. We cannot make any claims that a breakthrough has been made. But we do believe it is a positive point. Majed al-Ansari According to a report in Egyptian state-linked outlet Al-Qahera News, the latest deal proposes an initial 60-day truce, a partial hostage release, the freeing of some Palestinian prisoners and provisions allowing for the entry of aid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to publicly comment on the plan, but said last week that his country would accept 'an agreement in which all the hostages are released at once and according to our conditions for ending the war'. Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi said on social media that his group had 'opened the door wide to the possibility of reaching an agreement, but the question remains whether Netanyahu will once again close it, as he has done in the past'. Hamas' acceptance of the proposal came as Netanyahu faces increasing pressure at home and abroad. On Sunday, tens of thousands took to the streets in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv to call for an end to the war and a deal to free the hostages still held captive. Of the 251 hostages taken during Hamas' October 2023 attack that triggered the war, 49 are still in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. The new proposal also comes after Israel's security cabinet approved plans to conquer Gaza City, despite fears it will worsen the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis. On Tuesday, the new offensive was presented to the defence minister by the military's top brass. Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir - who has staunchly opposed ending the war - slammed the plan, warning of a 'tragedy' if Netanyahu 'gives in to Hamas'. Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim said: 'Unfortunately, today's Zionist reactions reflect Netanyahu's malicious intentions to continue the war, genocide and ethnic cleansing.' AFP In Gaza, the civil defence agency reported Israeli strikes and fire killed 48 people across the territory on Tuesday. Agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal told AFP the situation was 'very dangerous and unbearable' in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods of Gaza City, where he said 'artillery shelling continues intermittently'. The Israeli military declined to comment on specific troop movements, saying only that it was 'operating to dismantle Hamas military capabilities' and took 'feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm'. The military later said a strike in Khan Yunis overnight targeted a Hamas militant. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties accessing swaths of the Palestinian territory mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency or the Israeli military. In the Zikim area of northern Gaza on Tuesday, an AFP journalist saw Palestinians hauling sacks of food aid along dusty roads lined with rubble and damaged buildings. Gazan Shawg Al-Badri said it took 'three to four hours' to carry flour, what she called 'white gold', back to her family's tent. 'This bag is worth the whole world,' she said. Hamas' October 2023 attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1 219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's offensive has killed at least 62 064 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to figures from the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, which the United Nations considers reliable.

DOJ probing whether DC crime stats were manipulated
The Justice Department is investigating whether the Washington, DC police department manipulated crime statistics to make the district seem more safe than it actually is. 'We're of course looking into this because the reality is that we know that DC has been an incredibly unsafe place to live, for a very long time,' Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in an interview Tuesday with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. The investigation into the allegations that DC's Metropolitan Police Department fudged data to make crime rates appear lower is reportedly being led by the office of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, according to multiple outlets. 3 President Trump holds up a statistical graph on DC homicide rates as he speaks during a news conference on crime in the nation's capital at the White House in Washington, DC, on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025. The Washington Post via Getty Images Any officials found to have been manipulating federal data could face fraud, obstruction or making false statements charges, according to the Washington Post. Allegations of fake crime stats in DC predate President Trump's sweeping interventions in the nation's capital aimed at cracking down on crime. Michael Pulliam, an MPD commander, was put on paid leave in mid-May amid an internal investigation into changes he allegedly made to the district's crime data, NBC Washington reported last month. Pulliam allegedly falsified violent crime statistics to make them appear more favorable for the city, an accusation he denies. Pulliam's police union has defended him and accused MPD leadership of ordering subordinates to falsify violent crime data. 3 An infographic showing the Washington, DC homicide rate.

AP 'In some ways, it's not surprising that we hear about reports of this type of conduct that suggests that DC is safer than everybody that lives here knows to be true,' Blanche said on 'The Ingraham Angle.' 'So, we're investigating it, and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it at some point soon,' he added. Trump appeared to confirm the investigation Monday night in a Truth Social post. 'D.C. gave Fake Crime numbers in order to create a false illusion of safety,' Trump wrote. 'This is a very bad and dangerous thing to do, and they are under serious investigation for so doing!' the president added. The DC US Attorney's Office and MPD did not immediately respond to The Post's requests for comment.

Iran faces tough choice: Drink from the poisoned chalice or risk more strikes
Tehran often seemed to try to bluff its way forward, pretending it had lost nothing and was not much weaker in the world's eyes, while demanding "compensation" for the war. Iran has been squirming and kicking since its war with Israel – in which the IDF and the US air forces set its nuclear program back two years, took its ballistic missile program down several notches, and killed many of Iran's top military and intelligence officials – ended on June 24. After the war, Iran expelled the IAEA and refused to re-engage them for over a month. The Islamic Republic refused to talk to the US. It was willing to speak to the United Kingdom, Germany, and France (the E-3), but not in a real way that addressed its new dilemmas of losing much of its leverage. In fact, Tehran often seemed to bluff its way forward, pretending it had lost nothing and was not much weaker in the world's eyes, while demanding 'compensation' for the war. But Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is only the supreme leader in Iran. After years of playing nice with Khamenei out of fear that he might threaten them, the E-3 are now treating Tehran like the threat that it is – threatening it in return with a snapback of global sanctions by August 29 if it does not make some real concessions. This is a sort of checkmate for Iran because it has no cards to play this time. Anytime the IAEA or E3 condemned or threatened it in the past, it would build more nuclear centrifuges and enrich more uranium, making the West pay a price for applying pressure. But Israel has damaged its nuclear program so comprehensively, and Iran continues to be vulnerable in terms of lacking air defenses, meaning that it would take several months or maybe even a period of years for it to make any new meaningful nuclear progress. Any progress Iran makes would be baby steps Even then the progress would only constitute baby steps toward restoring what it had before Israel and the US set it back around two years – probably how long it would take to get fully back to where it was. And that is unlikely to happen because the Islamic Republic knows that Israel can and will strike again long before it gets close to the nuclear bomb threshold again. It could pull out the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), but that threat carries much less weight than it did before the June war because now its nuclear program lies in shambles. So it can either concede giving up uranium enrichment for some period of time upfront – the ultimate and more permanent concession – or jump at the E3's interim concessions offer. The interim offer is: to extend the expiration of the global sanctions snapback mechanism by around six months from October 2025 until April 2026. By that time, Khamenei can hope that US President Donald Trump's attention will have deflected to something else. Who knows? Maybe the snapback may be extended more than once, and Khamenei can hope that a new and less aggressive leadership may emerge in Israel – though Israel is rather united regarding Iran. Iran's toughest hardliners will not like "rewarding" Israel Of course, extending the snapback may mean agreeing to a kind of unsaid uranium enrichment freeze for the next 6-8 months, but right now Iran is still digging through rubble and cannot enrich uranium anyway. Also, Iran's toughest hardliners will not like 'rewarding' Israel and the West for their attacks and may be leery of agreeing to let the West hold the snapback threat over it for another round of negotiations – but what are its alternatives? Of course, Khamenei faced a somewhat similar dilemma in June and decided to test Israeli and American resolve. It would seem that since nearly all of the military and intelligence people who advised him to stand tough against the West are now dead, he is now more likely to listen to the still-alive 'pragmatic' camp of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, which is telling him that talks are his only option to avoid another war and to stay alive. Either way, it seems that Khamenei can either 'drink from the poisoned chalice' of diplomatic concessions – a phrase coined by his predecessor, Ruhollah Khomeini, when he cut a weak end-of-war deal with Iraq in 1988 – or face more airstrikes, possibly next time some targeting him directly.
