IAEA Exits Iran, Army Chief Warns "Devastating Plan Ready, Even US Won't Be Able to Save Netanyahu"
The UN nuclear watchdog said on July 4 it had pulled its last remaining inspectors from Iran. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) decision was prompted by safety concerns, the Wall Street Journal cited people familiar with the matter. The team of inspectors were driven by road out of Iran despite international departures from Iran's main airports resuming normal operations, two of the people said. The IAEA called for the resumption of 'indispensable monitoring" after Tehran officially suspended its cooperation with the the Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff threatened Israel with a "devastating plan" in case of further attacks'In that case (that Iran implements its devastating plan), perhaps even America will no longer be able to save Netanyahu. By God's grace. We are prepared; the people are also fully alert to crush any conspiracy in its infancy', General Abdolrahim Mousavi said. He was speaking at a ceremony to commemorate the former chief commander of IRGC, Hossein Salami, who was killed in Israeli strikes. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:40 IAEA INSPECTORS 'DRIVED BY ROAD OUT OF IRAN' 5:26 SLAIN IRGC COMMANDER 'CARRIED NO PHONES, CHANGED LOCATION…'

Hamas weighs US-proposed 60-day Gaza ceasefire deal amid truce hopes
Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed 'to the necessary conditions to finalize' a 60-day ceasefire, during which efforts would be made to end the US ally's war in the Palestinian enclave read more A Palestinian looks on at the site of Thursday's Israeli strike that damaged and destroyed residential buildings, at Shati (Beach) refugee camp, in Gaza City. Reuters Hamas leaders were due to discuss what US President Donald Trump has called a 'final proposal' for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza on Friday evening, two sources from the Islamist group said, with Trump expecting a response in the coming hours. Much would depend on clarifications and guarantees received from mediators in the negotiations, one Hamas source said. A second source, familiar with Hamas positions, said the group wants guarantees that negotiations to end the war will take place during the 60-day ceasefire and that the truce will be extended if necessary until both sides come to terms. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This source said Hamas wants the United Nations involved again in providing aid, for the aid to ensure humanitarian needs are met, including the operation of bakeries, and for Israel not to restrict it or use it as leverage during the talks. They gave no indication of when Hamas might deliver its response. Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed 'to the necessary conditions to finalize' a 60-day ceasefire, during which efforts would be made to end the US ally's war in the Palestinian enclave. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to comment on Trump's announcement and in their public statements, the two sides remain far apart. Netanyahu has repeatedly said Hamas must be disarmed, a position the militant group, which is thought to be holding 20 living hostages, has so far refused to discuss. Netanyahu is due to meet Trump in Washington on Monday. Asked early on Friday US time if Hamas had agreed to the latest ceasefire deal framework, Trump said: 'We are going to know over the next 24 hours.' Trump has said he would be 'very firm' with Netanyahu on the need for a speedy Gaza ceasefire while noting that the Israeli leader wants one as well. 'We hope it's going to happen. And we're looking forward to it happening sometime next week,' he told reporters earlier this week. 'We want to get the hostages out.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Stop this war' Israeli attacks have killed at least 138 Palestinians in Gaza over the past 24 hours, local health officials said. Health officials at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza said the Israeli military had carried out an airstrike on a tent encampment west of the city around 2 a.m., killing 15 Palestinians displaced by nearly two years of war. The Israeli military said troops operating in the Khan Younis area had eliminated militants, confiscated weapons and dismantled Hamas outposts in the last 24 hours, while striking 100 targets across Gaza, including military structures, weapons storage facilities and launchers. Later on Friday, Palestinians gathered to perform funeral prayers before burying those killed overnight. 'There should have been a ceasefire long ago before I lost my brother,' said 13-year-old Mayar Al Farr as she wept. Her brother, Mahmoud, was shot dead in another incident, she said. 'He went to get aid, so he can get a bag of flour for us to eat. He got a bullet in his neck. It killed him on the spot,' she said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Adlar Mouamar said her nephew, Ashraf, was also killed in Gaza. 'Our hearts are broken. We ask the world, we don't want food…We want them to end the bloodshed. We want them to stop this war.' 'Make the deal' In Tel Aviv, families and friends of hostages held in Gaza were among demonstrators who gathered outside a US Embassy building on US Independence Day, calling on Trump to secure a deal for all of the captives. Demonstrators set up a symbolic Shabbat dinner table, placing 50 empty chairs to represent those who are still held in Gaza. Banners hung nearby displaying a post by Trump from his Truth Social platform that read, 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!' The Sabbath, or Shabbat, observed from Friday evening to Saturday nightfall, is often marked by Jewish families with a traditional Friday night dinner. 'Only you can make the deal. We want one beautiful deal. One beautiful hostage deal,' said Gideon Rosenberg, 48, from Tel Aviv. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rosenberg was wearing a shirt with the image of hostage Avinatan Or, one of his employees who was abducted by Palestinian militants from the Nova musical festival on October 7, 2023. He is among the 20 hostages who are believed to be alive after more than 600 days of captivity. Ruby Chen, 55, the father of 19-year-old American-Israeli Itay, who is believed to have been killed after being taken captive, urged Netanyahu to return from meeting with Trump in Washington on Monday with a deal that brings back all hostages. 'Let this United States Independence Day mark the beginning of a lasting peace…, one that secures the sacred value of human life and one that bestows dignity to the deceased hostages by ensuring their return to proper burial,' he said, also appealing to Trump. Itay Chen, also a German national, was serving as an Israeli soldier when Hamas carried out its surprise attack on October 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking another 251 hostage. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Israel's retaliatory war against Hamas has devastated Gaza, which the militant group has ruled for almost two decades but now only controls in parts, displacing most of the population of more than 2 million and triggering widespread hunger. More than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed in nearly two years of fighting, most of them civilians, according to local health officials.

On Tuesday, the president announced that Israel had accepted the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, during which the parties would work towards ending the war. Hamas, which has previously declared it would only agree to a deal for a permanent end to the war, has said it was studying the proposal, but given no public indication whether it would accept or reject it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is yet to comment on Trump's ceasefire announcement. While some members of his right-wing coalition oppose a deal, others have indicated their support.
