SUMMARY: Israel continued a five-day air campaign targeting Iran’s military and nuclear sites, killing at least 224 people. The IAEA confirmed Israeli strikes damaged Natanz’s underground uranium enrichment halls, a critical part of Iran’s nuclear program. Iran retaliated with over 370 missiles and drones toward Israel, causing 24 deaths. Tehran residents fled amid evacuation warnings from Israel and U.S. President Trump, who dismissed ceasefires and hinted at demanding Iran’s full surrender. Israel claims aerial superiority over Tehran and has destroyed key missile launchers and command centers. Tensions escalated as Trump left the G7 early to address the conflict, rejecting diplomatic peace efforts for now.

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, fearing it would escalate the conflict and destabilize the region. Israel reportedly developed a credible plan, but Trump’s administration opposed it to avoid broadening the conflict amid ongoing Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu avoided confirming the rejection and denied reports about the assassination plot. Trump warned Iran against attacking U.S. targets, promising severe retaliation if attacked, while expressing hope for a peace deal. U.S. officials and GOP lawmakers are divided on the extent of U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.
