EAM Jaishankar speaks to Qatar PM Al Thani, discusses bilateral agenda
External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar spoke to the Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, on Thursday and discussed the bilateral agenda between the two nations. EAM Jaishankar, in a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister Al Thani, appreciated his assessment of the regional situation. EAM wrote on X, "A warm call with PM & FM @MBA_AlThani_ of Qatar. Appreciated his assessment of the regional situation. Discussed our bilateral agenda." Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, played a key role in securing Iran's approval for the US-proposed ceasefire in the conflict with Israel, with Al Thani obtaining Tehran's agreement during a phone call with Iranian officials, as reported by Reuters, quoting an official briefed on the negotiation. Al Thani's conversation followed Trump's communication with Qatar's Emir, in which the US President informed him that Israel had accepted the ceasefire proposal and requested Doha's assistance in convincing Tehran to agree to the deal, as reported by Reuters. However, moments after the announcement, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) carried out a limited strike on an Iranian radar installation north of Tehran, following which Iran launched two ballistic missiles at Israel, as reported by The Times of Israel. Trump expressed his strong disapproval of Israel and Iran "violating the ceasefire", he announced, and said that the two countries have been fighting "so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing." Shortly after, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office in a statement noted that after a conversation between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has "refrained" from further attacks on Iran. The conflict between Iran and Israel began on June 13 when Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities under "Operation Rising Lion". Iran responded by launching "Operation True Promise 3", a campaign involving missile and drone attacks against Israel's infrastructure.

What Iran's Khamenei Said On Trump's "Surrender" Remark
Tehran: Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has strongly criticised US President Donald Trump's call for Iran's surrender, describing it as "too big to come out of his mouth." "The US President stated, "Iran must surrender." Needless to say, this statement is too big to come out of the US president's mouth," Khamenei wrote on X. The US President stated, "Iran must surrender." Needless to say, this statement is too big to come out of the US president's mouth. — (@khamenei_ir) June 26, 2025 According to The Hill, he said that the US "achieved nothing" from its military strikes on his nation and warned against any further attacks. In his first public remarks since the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites Saturday, Khamenei declared victory in the conflict and pushed back on President Trump's claims that the strikes were a "spectacular military success." "My congratulations on our dear Iran's victory over the US regime. The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn't, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed," Khamenei said in his more-than 10 minute address, according to a translated passage posted to his account on the social platform X. "It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing," he added. Trump has said that the strikes "obliterated Iran's nuclear program," but the Iranian supreme leader pushed back on that assessment. Recently, Trump shared a post on his social media, Truth Social, saying "Unconditional surrender" Trump warned that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. In his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time), Trump said, "There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days." "This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill," Trump added. The conflict between Iran and Israel began on June 13 when Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities under "Operation Rising Lion". Iran responded by launching "Operation True Promise 3", a campaign involving missile and drone attacks against Israel's infrastructure.

Jun 25, 2025 04:59 PM IST A day has passed since Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, halting almost two weeks of hostilities on Tuesday. Jewish migrants making Aliyah (immigration to Israel) are handed miniature Israeli flags upon disembarking from an Israeli El Al airlines aircraft after their arrival at Ben Gurion Airport in Lod on June 25, 2025.(AFP) While the ceasefire, said to be brokered by US President Donald Trump, initially faced setbacks as both Israel and Iran accused each other of violating it, it has largely held since the outburst from Trump on Tuesday. The conflict began when the Israeli Defence Forces launched Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure and top officials. Tehran responded with Operation True Promise 3 and launched multiple barrages of missiles towards Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. The US also joined in bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities, Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz, on Saturday, using 'bunker buster bombs'. Iran attacked the US military base in Qatar on Monday, just hours before the ceasefire. 5 points on ceasefire between Iran and Israel as 24 hours pass Iran on Wednesday announced that it was lifting the restrictions put on the Internet in the country in the wake of attacks by Israel. Things are slowly getting back to normal in both Tehran and Tel Aviv, with no new reports of any bombardment or missile attacks. Iranian airspace will remain closed till Thursday afternoon, local media reports indicated. On the other hand, Israel opened its airspace and returned operations at the David Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv to full capacity. Iran's parliament on Wednesday passed a bill that stipulates the halt of co-operation with the atomic watchdog IAEA. According to the bill, any further cooperation with the agency requires prior approval from the Supreme National Security Council. US President Donald Trump admitted at the NATO Summit in the Netherlands that Iran hit Israel hard with ballistic missiles. He disputed the US intelligence reports that Tehran's nuclear facilities were not completely destroyed. Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country had eliminated two existential threats, annihilation by nuclear weapons and annihilation by 20,000 ballistic missiles

'Credibility up for auction': Iran slams IAEA; Tehran lawmakers vote to cut ties with nuclear watchdog
Representative image Tehran's tensions with global powers escalated further on Wednesday as Iranian lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to suspend cooperation with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The move comes after a 12-day conflict involving Israeli and US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. "The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran will suspend its cooperation with the IAEA until the security of the nuclear facilities is guaranteed," said Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accusing the IAEA of failing to condemn attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. "The IAEA... put its international credibility up for auction," he added, reported by state TV as AFP cited. The parliamentary decision passed with 221 votes in favour, one abstention, and no opposition among those present in the 290-member house. The legislation will now be reviewed by the Guardian Council, which must approve it before it becomes law. Following the vote, lawmakers reportedly chanted slogans including "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," reflecting growing domestic anger over the strikes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ductless Air Conditioners Are Selling Like Crazy [See Why] Keep Cool Click Here Undo The suspension move follows a wave of escalating hostilities that began on June 13 when Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion," targeting Iran's nuclear sites and military leadership.
