Netanyahu touts Iran 'victory' and 'opportunity' for 'peace'
In a video statement on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that Israel's "victory" over Iran is an "opportunity" for further "peace agreements" in the region. He did not specify what countries he is referring to, or if that also means he would finally agree to a ceasefire in Gaza. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority had reported earlier that US President Donald Trump is looking to strike a major deal that not only concludes Israel's war on Gaza, but also returns Israeli captives and establishes diplomatic relations between an Arab nation and Israel. "The victory opens an opportunity for a dramatic expansion of peace agreements - alongside the release of our hostages. There is a window here that must not be missed, not even a single day wasted," Netanyahu said in his video. In response, far-right Cabinet Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that while "expanding the Abraham Accords is a wonderful thing," if it's "a shiny wrapper for an existential threat in the form of dividing the land, handing over territories to the enemy, and establishing a Palestinian terror state, then no! Thank you."

Ceasefire takes effect after Iran launches 6 waves of missiles at Israel
By OUR CORRESPONDENT Muscat – A ceasefire between Israel and Iran came into effect at 0400 GMT on Tuesday, following hours of intense hostilities during which Iran launched six waves of missile attacks targeting Israeli territory. The Israeli military confirmed that a total of 11 missiles were fired in six consecutive volleys in the hours leading up to the truce. According to Israel's emergency medical services, at least six people were killed and 15 others injured—some critically—after a rocket struck a residential building in the southern city of Beersheba. Explosions were also reported in Tel Aviv and other parts of central Israel, according to Israeli media. Iranian state media confirmed the beginning of the ceasefire, noting that it followed the 'final salvos' of missile fire. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority and military radio also reported the start of the ceasefire, although Israeli officials have yet to issue a formal statement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly instructed ministers not to comment publicly on the truce. The ceasefire was initially announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, who outlined a phased de-escalation: Iran would halt attacks first, followed by Israel 12 hours later, with a full cessation of hostilities expected after 24 hours. Qatar was reported by Israeli media to have mediated the agreement.

Israel requests US support for strike on Iran's Fordow nuclear site
Shafaq News/ The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Sunday that Israel has submitted a formal request to the United States for assistance in carrying out a military strike on Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, a highly fortified site built deep underground near the city of Qom. Fordow is believed to house uranium enrichment centrifuges, and its protected location makes it difficult to target using conventional airpower. Israel considers the site a critical part of Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure, and officials argue that destroying it would significantly delay or disable Iran's ability to produce weapons-grade uranium. The request comes amid escalating military exchanges between Israel and Iran and follows Israeli claims that Tehran is using the current conflict to accelerate nuclear activities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the attacks on Iranian territory will continue until 'Iran's nuclear and missile programs are dismantled.' US officials have acknowledged receiving the request but clarified that the Trump administration will not support direct military involvement unless Iran targets American assets in the region. The issue is expected to be raised during a scheduled meeting between Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Israel has also submitted official requests to the United Kingdom and France to help with air defense operations, including the interception of Iranian missiles and drones. According to Israeli media, Britain has agreed in principle to participate in these defensive efforts. France is still reviewing the request but has signaled it is prepared to respond if the situation escalates further.

Iranian missiles hit Haifa, strike key military sites
Shafaq News/ Iranian missile strikes hit several locations across Israel late Sunday, with Haifa and nearby areas sustaining significant damage, Israeli media reported. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority confirmed direct impacts on two residential buildings in Haifa. Several nearby structures also suffered extensive damage. One of the targets was the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems complex in Haifa, a key Israeli military research site. Iran's armed forces said the strikes were part of a broader operation against 'military, security, and strategic centers,' and warned that other sensitive locations remained within range. Further south, missile impacts triggered fires and damage in Kiryat Gat. Media reports said Iranian projectiles also struck Sde Uziyahu and a nearby moshav. Emergency teams responded to burning buildings as smoke-filled street images circulated on social media. Channel 13 reported at least 10 civilians were wounded in the latest attacks. In a statement, Iran's military urged Israeli residents to evacuate areas near military facilities, warning against being used as 'human shields.' The statement took responsibility for recent precision strikes and signaled readiness to escalate operations. The strikes followed Israel's surprise June 13 attack and marked a major escalation in hostilities between the two countries. Iran's retaliatory campaign, dubbed True Promise 3, involved widespread missile and drone attacks that left dozens dead and many more injured across Israeli territory.
