Iran's Khamenei makes first public appearance since war with Israel
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has attended a religious ceremony in Tehran, making his first public appearance since the 12 days of conflict between Israel and Iran. The 85-year-old leader appeared in a video aired by state media on Saturday, which showed dozens of people attending an event at a mosque to mark Ashura, the holiest day of the Shia Muslim calendar. In the footage, Khamenei is seen waving and nodding to the chanting crowd, which rose to its feet as he entered the mosque. State TV said the clip was filmed at the Imam Khomeini Mosque in central Tehran. Khamenei has avoided public appearances since the start of the fighting on June 13, and his speeches have all been prerecorded. The United States, which joined in the Israeli attacks by bombing three key nuclear sites in Iran on June 22, had sent warnings to Khamenei, with US President Donald Trump saying on social media that Washington knew where the Iranian leader was, but had no plans to kill him, 'at least for now'. On June 26, in prerecorded remarks aired on state television, Khamenei rejected Trump's calls for Iran's surrender, and said Tehran had delivered a 'slap to America's face' by striking a US airbase in Qatar Trump replied, in remarks to reporters and on social media: 'Look, you're a man of great faith. A man who's highly respected in his country. You have to tell the truth. You got beat to hell.' Iran has acknowledged that more than 900 people were killed in the war, as well as thousands injured. Iran's retaliatory missile attacks on Israel killed at least 28 people there. The ceasefire between the two countries took hold on June 24. Since then, Iran has confirmed serious damage to its nuclear facilities, and denied access to them for inspectors from the United Nations's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA's inspectors had stayed in the Iranian capital throughout the fighting, even as Israel attacked Iranian military sites and killed several of the country's most senior commanders and top scientists, as well as hundreds of civilians. However, they left after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a law suspending cooperation with the IAEA on Wednesday. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi on Friday stressed 'the crucial importance' of dialogue with Iran to resume monitoring and verification work of its nuclear programme as soon as possible. Iran was holding talks with the US on its nuclear programme when Israel launched its attacks. The US has been seeking a new agreement after Trump pulled the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Tehran signed with world powers in 2015. Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi separately said on Thursday that the country remains committed to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), dismissing speculation that Iran would leave the international accord.

Israeli drone attacks in southern Lebanon kill one and injure several people in latest violation of ceasefire
agencies Beirut Israel has carried out four drone attacks on towns in southern Lebanon, resulting in a death and several injured, in the latest wave of near-daily Israeli violations of the November ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah. An 'Israeli enemy drone attack on a vehicle' in the Saf al-Hawa area in the city of Bint Jbeil 'killed one person and wounded two others', Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said in a statement on Saturday carried by the official National News Agency (NNA), noting the toll was expected to rise. A second attack in the Bint Jbeil area followed. Earlier Saturday, the ministry also reported that a separate Israeli drone attack wounded one person in Shebaa, with the NNA saying that raid hit a house. Shebaa is located across two steep, rocky mountainsides that straddle Lebanon's borders with Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel also launched a drone attack on the town of Chaqra, in the Bint Jbeil District. Lebanon's Health Ministry said two people were wounded in the attack. Israel has kept up its bombardment of Lebanon on a near daily basis, despite a November 27 US-brokered ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including an intensive period of the war that left the Iran-aligned group severely weakened. Israel says its air raids are targeting officials and facilities of Hezbollah and other groups. Hezbollah has claimed only one strike fired across the border since the ceasefire. Most of the Israeli strikes have been in southern Lebanon, but Israel has also struck Beirut's southern suburbs several times since the ceasefire, destroying residential buildings and prompting panic and chaos among residents fleeing the area. On Thursday, an Israeli strike on a vehicle at the southern entrance of Beirut, close to the country's only commercial airport, killed one man and wounded three other people, Lebanon said, as the Israeli army claimed it hit a 'terrorist' working for Iran. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, about 30km (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five locations in southern Lebanon that it deems strategic. Israel has warned that it will keep attacking Lebanon until Hezbollah has been disarmed. Nearly 250 people have been killed and 609 wounded in Israeli attacks in Lebanon between November 28 – the day after the ceasefire took effect – and the end of June, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. A United States envoy is expected in Beirut early next week to discuss with Lebanon's leadership efforts to pressure Hezbollah to relinquish its arms to the state. Hezbollah has rejected a US proposal to disarm by November, calling it 'suicidal' amid daily Israeli attacks. Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun has repeatedly called on the US and France to rein in Israel's attacks, noting that disarming Hezbollah is a 'sensitive, delicate issue'.

Israel sending negotiating team to Qatar for Gaza ceasefire talks
Israel is sending a negotiating team to Qatar for talks on a Gaza ceasefire proposal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed. In a statement late on Saturday, Netanyahu's office said the Israeli leader had instructed negotiators 'to accept the invitation for close talks'. But the statement said that 'the changes Hamas is requesting to make to the Qatari proposal were delivered to us last night and are unacceptable to Israel'. It did not elaborate on what changes were being requested. Hamas said on Friday that it had given a 'positive' response to a United States-brokered proposal that would involve a 60-day truce in Gaza, renewing hopes of a possible end to Israel's deadly assault on the Palestinian enclave.
