Iran’s supreme leader made a public appearance amidst rising tensions with Israel and the US, receiving a warm reception from supporters who chanted a Shia victory chant.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced that U.S.–led strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan have likely set back Tehran’s nuclear progress by 1 to 2 years, revising earlier intelligence suggesting only months of delay.

Thousands mourned in Tehran for 60 individuals, including military commanders and scientists, killed during Iran’s recent conflict with Israel.

The week so far has been dominated by the Israel-Iran conflict with a shaky ceasefire currently in place. Donald Trump’s remarkable outburst on TV sent shockwaves around the globe, as a leaked US intelligence report suggests the US bombing of Iran did little damage to Iran’s nuclear efforts – Trump denies this.

The NATO summit is currently underway with members committing to spending 5% of GDP and signing security deals with each other amid an increasingly unstable world.

President Trump hailed the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites a success, a US Defence Intelligence Agency report counters that the attacks only set Iran’s programme back by a few months, not obliterate it.

An early U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency assessment, according to American media CNN, indicates the weekend strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, failed to destroy the core nuclear infrastructure.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced by Donald Trump after 12 days of intense conflict involving strikes on Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan) and Iranian missile attacks, including one on a U.S. base in Qatar.

Iran has implemented an internet shutdown and throttled speeds to control information flow, limiting access to news to state-controlled sources only.

A “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran has been announced by Donald Trump, set to begin shortly after his announcement on Truth Social.

Qatar reported no casualties at the US al Udeid military base after air defences intercepted Iranian missiles targeting the facility.
