US shuts controversial Jerusalem embassy amid Iran-Israel conflict
The United States has temporarily shuttered its controversial embassy in Jerusalem and its consular section in Tel Aviv, citing escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The closure, which will remain in effect until Friday, comes after the Israeli military's Home Front Command issued new safety directives amid fears of further violence. 'All US government employees and their family members have been instructed to shelter in place at or near their homes until further notice,' the embassy said. In a statement, US officials said there were no plans to help private citizens leave Israel at this time. 'We will alert the US citizen community if there is additional information to share regarding departure options,' the embassy added. The situation for those attempting to leave the country remains bleak. Ben Gurion Airport is shut, with no commercial or charter flights in operation. Israel's seaports are also closed. However, land crossings to Jordan remain open and are expected to operate on Wednesday, the embassy noted.

Israeli attacks kill 585 in Iran, rights group says
A US-based rights watchdog says at least 585 people have been killed in Iran as a result of Israeli strikes, with more than 1,300 others wounded. Human Rights Activists, a group based in Washington, DC, reported that among the dead are 239 civilians and 126 members of Iran's security forces. Tehran has not provided frequent updates on casualties. Its most recent figures, released on Monday, listed 224 dead and 1,277 injured. The group, which became prominent for documenting the 2022 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, said it compiles its data by verifying local reports with its network of sources across Iran.

Women, life and freedom for post Mullah Iran!
Matein Khalid There is precious little good news to emerge from the Middle East since the IDF launched its spectacular blitzkrieg and leadership decapitation strike against Iran's nuclear asset and military/intelligence elite last Friday. This weekend was grim with Iran's ballistic missile strike on Haifa and Tel Aviv with even a real miss on the IDF command and control complex in Kirya. Netanyahu's boast that he would order IDF warplanes to destroy 100 buildings in Iran for every building destroyed by an Iranian missile in Israel also suggested a protracted, bloody conflict. Yet Brent has plunged to 71.80 as I write with Nasdaq up 300 points on diplomatic signals that Iran wants to join Trump's call for immediate peace deal talk under his aegis. It is also significant that Iran has dare not retaliate against US forces in the Gulf or Iraq. Since the IDF and Mossad destroyed Hezbollah in Lebanon last autumn and a Turkish backed insurgency overthrew its 54-year old Baathist dynastic vassal state in Syria last December, the Ayatollah's 'axis of resistance' in the Levant no longer restrains Israel military strike, as Operation Rising Lion suggests. In fact, the lion and sun were the ancient symbols of Iran's Zoroastrian imperial past and even adorned the flag of the last Pahlavi Shah. I wonder if Bibi wants to anoint Prince Reza Cyrus Pahlavi as the next Shah of Iran. ADVERTISEMENT For Reza's sake, I hope he stays in Washington and does not allow himself to be used by this cynical Israeli megalomaniac. His life is too precious to his wife and daughters as well as his mother Empress Farah, who has faced so much tragedy in her life with the loss of her husband, younger son Ali Reza and daughter Laila. Prince Reza Cyrus should also remember the fate of Bachir Gemayel, whom another nutcase Israeli Prime Minister (Begin) had anointed President of Lebanon in 1982 after the IDF's Operation Peace for Galilee, which ensured no peace for either Israel or Lebanon, midwifed the rise of Hezbollah and claimed 20,000 civilian lives in siege of Beirut. Even though the IDF has scored yet another military and intelligence coup against Iran, I doubt if Netanyahu's call for a popular revolt will happen, let alone succeed. After all, the Ayatollah regime has massacred tens of thousands of young Iranian lives in the periodic revolts against the Islamic Republic that have occurred from the very first months of its existence in 1979. It was surreal to see Bibi speaking the Persian words zan, zindagi, azadi (women, life, freedom). Anybody with a remotely humane moral compass wishes the beautiful Iranian people liberation from this evil and nightmarish mullah regime that has strangled Iran since 1979. Whatever happens, there is no doubt that June 2025 will join February 1979, August 1990, March 2003 and October 2023 as one of the decisive hinge months of Middle East history. That much, at least, is certain! Also published on Medium. Notice an issue? Arabian Post strives to deliver the most accurate and reliable information to its readers.
