Iran Demands Compensation from U.S. for Bombing
An Iranian official said Washington must compensate Iran for damaging its facilities. The U.S. and Israel said recent strikes had severely damaged Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. Department of State for comment. The U.S. strikes on Iran marked a major escalation in Washington's longstanding tensions with Tehran. President Donald Trump claimed the strike caused the "total obliteration" of the Fordow nuclear facility, located deep underground inside a mountain and the latest hostilities disrupted U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said Tehran will file a complaint with the United Nations over the damage to its nuclear facilities and asserted that the U.S. must provide compensation, in statements to Lebanese outlet Al-Mayadeen. His comments came after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged on Wednesday significant damage to its nuclear facilities following a 12-day conflict that began with Israeli strikes on key nuclear, missile, and military sites across Iran. After the White House rejected a report downplaying the U.S. strikes' impact, new intelligence claims Iran's nuclear facilities have been destroyed, according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. "If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do," Gabbard wrote on her X account. Gabbard had previously assessed Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons' program. Israel's Atomic Energy Commission backed Trump's assessment of the damage done to the Iranian nuclear site at Fordow. A spokesperson for Iran's Health Ministry, Hossein Kermanpour, said 627 people were killed and 4,870 were injured in the conflict, with the highest casualty figures recorded in Tehran. "I make no judgments, I do not describe the painful scenes of the arrival of injured children, mothers, and civilians, and I leave it to the judgment of humanity's conscience today!," Kermanpour posted on X, formerly Twitter. Dozens of Iranian generals are believed to have been killed by Israel. No conclusive numbers have been issued but Iran has confirmed the killing of several senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told Al-Mayadeen, translated from Arabic: "Iran is a civilization that cannot be eliminated, and the American president must know that…What was not achieved through aggression will not be achieved through diplomacy." President Donald Trump told reporters during the NATO summit at The Hague: "I think it was a tremendous victory for everybody, including Iran. They've got a country, and they've got oil and they're very smart people, they can come they're not gona be building bombs for a long time." The U.S. and Iran may return to negotiations but there are still concerns of renewed escalation between Iran and Israel.

Iran claims it seized thousands of Israeli intel. materials, including nuclear docs.
According to reports by sources to Iranian-affiliated media, the documents were allegedly transferred from within Israel to Iranian territory. Iran has obtained Israeli intelligence materials, including sensitive documents related to Israel's nuclear capabilities, Iranian-affiliated media reported on Saturday. The intelligence materials allegedly include thousands of documents related to that regime's nuclear plans and facilities. The documents were transferred from within Israel to Iranian territory, Lebanese Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen remarked. Even though the mentioned operation was carried out some time ago, "the abundance of documents is such that reviewing them and viewing images and videos has taken up a significant amount of time," sources told Iran's Tasnim News Agency. Due to the need to securely transport the leaked materials into Iran, a period of media silence was maintained to ensure their safe arrival "at protected destinations" in the country, sources emphasized. Roi Mizrahi and Almog Attias, both 25, were allegedly in contact with an Iranian intelligence operative who instructed them to install spy cameras, according to an Israeli indictment filed in May. While there is no confirmed link to the recent Israeli intelligence leak, sources suggested that these suspects may be linked to the alleged intel leak. The State Prosecution filed an indictment at the Beersheba District Court against Roi Mizrahi and Almog Attias for carrying out a series of intelligence missions on behalf of agents operating for Iranian intelligence agencies, the Attorney-General's Office announced Friday. Both Mizrahi and Attias are from Nesher, southwest of Haifa. The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced the arrest of the two in May. Mizrahi has been charged with contacting a foreign agent, assisting an enemy in wartime, and carrying and transporting weapons. Attias was charged with contact with a foreign agent and providing information to the enemy, intending to harm the state's security.

Maariv: Israel is international pariah, faces diplomatic tsunami
Jaffa – Saba: The Hebrew newspaper Maariv, published in the Zionist entity, acknowledged on Wednesday that Israel has become an international pariah and is facing a "diplomatic tsunami" in light of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip. The newspaper directed its criticism at ministers in the Israeli enemy government, saying that Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who "clings to his positions, fails to grasp the magnitude of the crisis Israel is heading toward," according to the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel's website. It noted that Transportation Minister Miri Regev refuses to acknowledge that Israel is under an air blockade, "and that it is likely that a naval blockade will soon reach that level as well." It added, "As part of the criticism, Education Minister Yoav Kisch is preoccupied with political conflicts regarding Tel Aviv University, rather than addressing the growing international academic boycott." The newspaper emphasized the "disastrous failure of US President Donald Trump's tour of the region," during which Israel was marginalized on many issues. In the context of the newspaper's discussion of Israel's isolation, it stated that pressure is clear from Europe, Canada, and the United States to end the aggression. The newspaper noted that the criminal Prime Minister of the enemy, Benjamin Netanyahu, received a "red card" from the Supreme Court. It explained that the court's judges disqualified Netanyahu and his government at all levels, ruling that Netanyahu was in a conflict of interest in the investigation when he attempted to dismiss Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar.
