During an emergency Security Council meeting, Iran condemned US actions as “blatant aggression” and asserted the need for a strong global response against these “crimes.”

Israel’s UN ambassador declared that attacks on Iran will continue until the “nuclear threat” is eliminated and Iran’s military capabilities are dismantled.

Donald Trump is betting that US airstrikes have effectively destroyed Iranian nuclear sites, despite military officials suggesting full destruction is unlikely and that the strikes may only set back Iran’s programme.

Baroness Harriet Harman cautioned that Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose political identity was shaped by opposition to Iraq, might ultimately permit U.S. use of UK-controlled bases, such as Diego Garcia or RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, for strikes on Iran if President Trump requested it.

The Kremlin deems regime change in Iran as “unacceptable” and warns that the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would have severe global repercussions.

Former Israeli defence minister Benny Gantz refuted claims that the Israeli military intentionally targets hospitals, insisting such allegations are “absolutely not true.”
