Israeli woman arrested on suspicion of plot to kill PM Netanyahu
An elderly woman from central Israel was arrested by Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet, on suspicion of plotting to kill Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That's according to reports by the country's Israeli public broadcaster, KAN, who said on Wednesday that the plot reportedly involved an "explosive device." The woman, identified only as being an anti-government activist in her 70s due to a court gag order, was arrested two weeks ago, but was released on the condition she stay away from all government buildings and from approaching the prime minister. An indictment will be filed against her on Thursday for conspiring to commit a crime and conspiring to carry out a terrorist act, KAN reported. Israeli police say the woman "was in contact with other people as part of this plan." She is currently being investigated by Shin Bet and the agency will charge her with "conspiracy to carry out a terrorist act." Previous assassination attempt Last September, the Israeli news website Walla revealed an Israeli citizen had been arrested suspected of communicating with Iran and planning to "assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as other security officials." According to local media, "Iranian intelligence recruited this Israeli citizen to target Netanyahu, then Defence Minister Yoav Galant, as well as the former head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar." According to a joint statement by Shin Bet and the police, the suspect was arrested in August "after it was confirmed that he had established contacts with Iranian intelligence while in Turkey." "The detainee, an Israeli businessman, crossed the border into Iran, where he met with representatives of those services," the statement said. And last October, Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea was targeted by a drone, believed to have been launched from Lebanon. That attack didn't result in any injuries and Netanyahu was not at his residence at the time of the attack.

Trump says US could hit Iran's nuclear sites again 'if necessary'
President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could strike Iran's nuclear sites again "if necessary." Trump issued the warning in a social media post on Monday evening after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that Tehran cannot give up its nuclear enrichment programme, even though it was damaged in US bombings last month. "It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up on enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride," Araghchi said. On his Truth Social platform, Trump referenced Araghchi's comments about the nuclear sites being severely damaged and said: "Of course they are, just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary!" The US strikes on 22 June hit three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — during Israel's 12-day conflict with Iran. Days after a US-brokered ceasefire was announced, Trump claimed that Washington's strikes had "completely and fully obliterated" Iran's nuclear sites. However, Trump's claim was called into question when a subsequent US intelligence report found that Iran's nuclear programme had only been set back a few months. The White House firmly pushed back on the assessment, calling it "flat-out wrong". Trump's social media post followed an announcement by Iran on Monday that it would hold renewed talks on Friday with European nations over its nuclear programme. The meeting in Istanbul will be the first since the Israel-Iran ceasefire was reached late last month, and follows similar discussions in the Turkish city in May. The talks will bring Iranian officials together with counterparts from the UK, France and Germany — known as the E3 nations — and the European Union's foreign policy chief. "The topic of the talks is clear, lifting sanctions and issues related to the peaceful nuclear program of Iran," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. Under a 2015 deal designed to limit Iran's nuclear activities, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Tehran agreed to tough restrictions on its nuclear programme in exchange for an easing of international sanctions. The deal began to unravel in 2018, when the US pulled out and started to reintroduce certain sanctions. European nations have recently threatened to trigger the 2015 deal's "snapback" mechanism, which would allow sanctions to be reimposed in the case of non-compliance by Tehran. Iran has gradually increased its nuclear activities, including enriching uranium up to 60%, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's nuclear watchdog. Tehran denies allegations that it is seeking a nuclear weapon and has long said its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only.

Iran says it will not halt nuclear enrichment ahead of European talks
Iran has no plans to abandon its nuclear program including uranium enrichment despite the "severe" damage caused by US strikes to its facilities, the country's foreign minister said ahead of renewed talks with European powers. Iran is scheduled to meet Britain, France and Germany in Istanbul on Friday, July 25, to discuss its nuclear program, with Tehran accusing European powers of scuppering a landmark 2015 nuclear deal. The meeting will be the first since Iran's 12-day war with Israel last month, during which the United States carried out strikes against Tehran's nuclear facilities. For now, enrichment "is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier" on Monday, July 21. "But obviously we cannot give up enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists," he continued, calling it a source of "national pride". US President Donald Trump responded to the comments on his platform Truth Social, saying Washington would carry out strikes again "if necessary". The 2015 agreement, reached between Iran and UN Security Council permanent members Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany, imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. However, it unravelled in 2018 when the United States, during Trump's first term, unilaterally withdrew and reimposed sweeping sanctions. 'Iran holds the European parties responsible for negligence' Though Europe pledged continued support, a mechanism intended to offset US sanctions never effectively materialized, forcing many Western firms to exit Iran and deepening its economic crisis. "Iran holds the European parties responsible for negligence in implementing the agreement," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei ahead of Friday's talks in Istanbul on the deal's future. Iran will also host a trilateral meeting Tuesday with Chinese and Russian representatives to discuss the nuclear issue and potential sanctions. The Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing would "continue to play a constructive role in pushing relevant sides to restart dialogue and negotiations, and reach a solution that takes in account the legitimate concerns of all parties". In recent weeks, the three European powers have threatened to reimpose international sanctions on Tehran, accusing it of breaching its nuclear commitments.
