Israeli Antiquities Authority Account Hacked: Image of Khamenei, Threat to Israeli Leaders Posted
Taarek Refaat The official X account of Israel's Antiquities Authority was hacked early Sunday, with a chilling message posted alongside an image of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a missile launch. The post, which appeared to be aimed directly at Israeli leadership, warned of imminent retaliation for alleged war crimes. The message read: 'Soon, all Israeli leaders will face the consequences of the war crimes they have committed. Nothing will stop the day of harsh revenge for those who carried out such heinous acts.' The image and message were quickly removed, but screenshots circulated widely across social media before Israeli authorities regained control of the account. Growing Cyber Threats Amid Escalating Conflict The breach comes amid a broader wave of cyberattacks linked to the ongoing military confrontation between Iran and Israel. Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Iranian operatives had successfully gained access to private surveillance camera networks in Israel, allegedly to collect real-time intelligence on strategic targets. An unnamed former Israeli cybersecurity official told Israel's public radio that the country is facing "one of the most sophisticated cyber offensives in its history," warning of additional breaches targeting infrastructure, defense systems, and government networks. Symbolic Target and Psychological Messaging While the Israeli Antiquities Authority is not a strategic security institution, analysts say the symbolic nature of the attack—targeting a body responsible for national identity and historical preservation—was likely intended to strike a psychological chord. 'This was more than a data breach; it was a message,' said cybersecurity analyst Lior Mizrahi. 'The attackers chose a cultural institution to remind Israel that its history, its leadership, and its future are all under scrutiny.' Escalating Hybrid Warfare The incident adds another layer to the multifaceted conflict between the two regional powers, which has now extended beyond conventional military exchanges into the digital domain. In recent weeks, both sides have exchanged not only missile strikes but also coordinated cyber operations, misinformation campaigns, and electronic warfare. As tensions mount, cybersecurity experts are urging Israeli institutions—public and private—to raise their defenses against what many now consider a full-spectrum cyber conflict. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

US intervenes in war between Israel and Iran, striking 3 Iranian nuclear sites
Israel's Airport Authority announced Sunday it was closing the country's airspace to both inbound and outbound flights in the wake of the U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. The agency said it was shutting down air traffic 'due to recent developments' and did not say for how long. The U.S. struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into Israel's war aimed at destroying the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe despite fears of a wider regional conflict. Meanwhile, Iran said there were 'no signs of contamination' at its nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo or Natanz after U.S. airstrikes targeted the facilities. Iranian state media quoted the country's National Nuclear Safety System Center, which published a statement saying its radiation detectors had recorded no radioactive release after the strikes. 'There is no danger to the residents living around the aforementioned sites,' the statement added. Earlier Israeli airstrikes on nuclear sites similarly have caused no recorded release of radioactive material into the environment around the facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below. TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The United States struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into Israel 's war aimed at destroying the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe despite fears of a wider regional conflict. Addressing the nation from the White House, President Donald Trump asserted that Iran's key nuclear were 'completely and fully obliterated.' There was no independent damage assessment. It was not clear whether the U.S. would continue attacking Iran alongside its ally Israel, which has been engaged in a nine-day war with Iran. Trump warned Iran that any reprisals against the U.S. would be met with additional strikes. 'There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran,' he said. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirmed that attacks took place on its Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz sites, but it insisted that its work will not be stopped. The decision to directly involve the U.S. in the war comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that aimed to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But U.S. and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and the 30,000-pound (13,500-kilogram) bunker-buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground. 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in a post on social media. "All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.' Trump added in a later post: 'This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump's decision to attack in a video message directed at the American president. 'Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities, with the awesome and righteous might of the United States, will change history,' he said. Netanyahu said the U.S. 'has done what no other country on earth could do.' The White House and Pentagon did not immediately elaborate on the operation. But Fox News host Sean Hannity said shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern that he had spoken with Trump and that six bunker-buster bombs were used on the Fordo facility. Hannity said 30 Tomahawk missiles fired by U.S. submarines 400 miles away struck the Iranian nuclear sites of Natanz and Isfahan. The strikes are a perilous decision, as Iran has pledged to retaliate if the U.S. joined the Israeli assault, and for Trump personally. He won the White House on the promise of keeping America out of costly foreign conflicts and scoffed at the value of American interventionism. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that he was 'gravely alarmed' by the 'dangerous escalation' of American strikes. 'There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control — with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world,' he said in a statement. Trump told reporters Friday that he was not interested in sending ground forces into Iran, saying it's 'the last thing you want to do.' He had previously indicated that he would make a final choice over the course of two weeks. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the United States on Wednesday that strikes targeting the Islamic Republic will 'result in irreparable damage for them.' And Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei declared 'any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region." Trump has vowed that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, and he had initially hoped that the threat of force would bring the country's leaders to give up its nuclear program peacefully. The Israeli military said Saturday it was preparing for the possibility of a lengthy war, while Iran's foreign minister warned before the U.S. attack that American military involvement 'would be very, very dangerous for everyone.' The prospect of a wider war loomed. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said they would resume attacks on U.S. vessels in the Red Sea if the Trump administration joined Israel's military campaign. The Houthis paused such attacks in May under a deal with the U.S. The U.S. ambassador to Israel announced that the U.S. had begun 'assisted departure flights,' the first from Israel since the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, that sparked the war in Gaza. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that Trump planned to make his decision on the strikes within two weeks. Instead, he struck just two days later. Trump appears to have made the calculation — at the prodding of Israeli officials and many Republican lawmakers — that Israel's operation had softened the ground and presented a perhaps unparalleled opportunity to set back Iran's nuclear program, perhaps permanently. The Israelis say their offensive has already crippled Iran's air defenses, allowing them to already significantly degrade multiple Iranian nuclear sites. But to destroy the Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant, Israel appealed to Trump for the bunker-busting American bomb known as the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which uses its weight and sheer kinetic force to reach deeply buried targets and then explode. The bomb is currently delivered only by the B-2 stealth bomber, which is only found in the American arsenal. If deployed in the attack, it would be the first combat use of the weapon. The bomb carries a conventional warhead, and is believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet (61 meters) below the surface before exploding, and the bombs can be dropped one after another, effectively drilling deeper and deeper with each successive blast. The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed that Iran is producing highly enriched uranium at Fordo, raising the possibility that nuclear material could be released into the area if the GBU-57 A/B were used to hit the facility. Previous Israeli strikes at another Iranian nuclear site, Natanz, on a centrifuge site have caused contamination only at the site itself, not the surrounding area, the IAEA has said. Trump's decision for direct U.S. military intervention comes after his administration made an unsuccessful two-month push — including with high-level, direct negotiations with the Iranians — aimed at persuading Tehran to curb its nuclear program. For months, Trump said he was dedicated to a diplomatic push to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions. And he twice — in April and again in late May — persuaded Netanyahu to hold off on military action against Iran and give diplomacy more time. The U.S. in recent days has been shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel and U.S. bases from Iranian attacks. All the while, Trump has gone from publicly expressing hope that the moment could be a 'second chance' for Iran to make a deal to delivering explicit threats on Khamenei and making calls for Tehran's unconditional surrender. 'We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding,' Trump said in a social media posting. 'He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.' The military showdown with Iran comes seven years after Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Obama-administration brokered agreement in 2018, calling it the 'worst deal ever.' The 2015 deal, signed by Iran, U.S. and other world powers, created a long-term, comprehensive nuclear agreement that limited Tehran's enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. Trump decried the Obama-era deal for giving Iran too much in return for too little, because the agreement did not cover Iran's non-nuclear malign behavior. Trump has bristled at criticism from some of his MAGA faithful, including conservative pundit Tucker Carlson, who have suggested that further U.S. involvement would be a betrayal to supporters who were drawn to his promise to end U.S. involvement in expensive and endless wars.

Trump: Iran Can either Make Peace or Face Far Worse Consequences
Taarek Refaat Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran early Sunday, hours after American forces launched a coordinated military operation targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Speaking in a televised address to the American public and the international community, Trump declared the strikes a "tremendous military success" and vowed greater force if Tehran fails to "choose peace." 'The goal of tonight's operation was to dismantle Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities and eliminate any future nuclear threat,' Trump said. 'Iran's three nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed,' he claimed, adding, 'There is still time for peace—but the next strikes, if needed, will be larger, more precise, and more devastating.' Strategic Strike Amid Diplomatic Collapse The strike comes at a time of heightened regional volatility, following escalating clashes between Iran and Israel and the collapse of the latest diplomatic efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. Negotiations in Geneva earlier this month ended in deadlock, and U.S. officials have since accused Iran of accelerating its nuclear ambitions. The targeted sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—are central to Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Parts of these facilities are under limited monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Pentagon, in a brief statement, said it will hold a press conference later Sunday to share visual documentation and further operational details. No Immediate Response from Tehran As of the time of publication, the Iranian government has not issued an official response to the attacks or Trump's remarks. Analysts warn, however, that retaliation could come through proxy forces across the region or via cyber means. Intelligence officials in Washington and Tel Aviv are reportedly on high alert. Diplomatic sources at the United Nations expect an emergency session of the Security Council within the next 48 hours, amid growing concerns over a broader conflict erupting in the Middle East. Global Concerns Over Regional Fallout Defense experts warn that the U.S. strikes may trigger a chain reaction, particularly in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon—where Iran maintains strong military alliances. Any Iranian response could also threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil supplies. 'The message is clear,' Trump said in closing. 'Iran can either make peace—or face consequences far worse than tonight.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
