"This was indeed an operation by Iran. That is clear," said Israel's then-PM Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview. "You're familiar with my policy. Iran is Israel's biggest enemy. I am determined to fend it off. We are striking at it all over the region," he added.

Once close friends, both Iran and Israel have been each other's sworn enemies since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran toppled the 'Shah' and brought the 'Ayatollahs'. Since then, Iran consider Israel an illegal occupier of Jerusalem and responsible for the "genocide" of Palestinians. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

The 11-year-old was seen criticising Goldsmith at the summit and their conversation is not audible but according to her the UK Minister replied that he can do nothing about it.

<p>A new research has shown that&nbsp;Chimpanzees show each other objects just for the sake of it, akin to humans, to garner attention.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences cites the example of a&nbsp;wild adult chimpanzee named 'Fiona' in the Kibale national park of Uganda.</p>

<p>In a video that has been captured during the study, Fiona can be seen picking a leaf, examining it and later shoving it under her mother Sutherland's nose momentarily, before snatching it back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“She’s not offering it for food. She doesn’t want her mum to do anything," said Prof Katie Slocombe, a co-author of the study.</p>

<p>"She just wants them to look at it together, and be like ‘Oh, cool, nice!’," added Slocombe.&nbsp;</p>
