US, Israel, Europe waging a ‘total war’ on our country: Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian

Iran's judiciary said Monday that a dual national arrested during the recent 12-day war with Israel has been referred to trial on charges of spying for the enemy.The judiciary's Mizan Online news agency did not name the defendant, describing him only as a "dual national who lives in a European country" and was arrested in Iran during the June war.It said an Iranian court has begun hearing his case, in which he is accused of "intelligence cooperation and espionage in the interest of the Zionist regime".According to Mizan, the defendant entered Iran one month before the conflict, which erupted after Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Iran, striking military and nuclear sites, as well as residential areas.That attack triggered a 12-day conflict in which Iran responded with drone and missile strikes on Israel, and later saw the United States join Israel in striking Iranian nuclear sites.Mizan said investigations indicated the defendant had been in contact with Israel's Mossad spy agency and had been trained as an agent in "the capitals of several European countries and the occupied territories"."Sophisticated espionage and intelligence equipment were found at the time of his arrest and in the villa where he was staying," it added, without elaborating.During the war, Iranian authorities announced at least three arrests of Europeans, including Lennart Monterlos, a 19-year-old French-German cyclist, who was later released.In October, Iran passed a law that toughened penalties for those convicted of spying on behalf of Israel and the United States.The official IRNA news agency reported at the time that "all deliberate assistance is condemned as corruption on Earth" -- one of the most serious charges in Iran, punishable by death.Since the war, Iran has vowed swift trials for those arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel, announcing multiple arrests of people suspected of spying for Israel and the execution of several people convicted on such charges.Iran does not recognise Israel and has long accused it of carrying out sabotage operations against its nuclear facilities, as well as assassinating its scientists.The June war was the first sustained conflict between Iran and Israel after sporadic tit-for-tat strikes in 2024 that stopped short of open warfare.A ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect on June 24.Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits for grammar and punctuation.

Iran tries dual national accused of spying for Israel during recent conflict

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday (Nov 2) vowed that his country will rebuild its nuclear sites “stronger than before”. The sites were damaged following strikes by Israel and the US, which accuse Tehran of seeking to build nuclear weapons. US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran’s nuclear programme was obliterated in the attack, but the full extent of the damage remains unknown. Meanwhile, Oman has urged Tehran and Washington to resume diplomacy.While visiting the country’s nuclear organisation, Pezeshkian said that Iran “will build (the destroyed sites) stronger than before.”“By destroying buildings... we will not be set back,” he said in a video message posted to his official website. He added that Iranian scientists still have the necessary nuclear know-how, without elaborating.In a similar remark in February before the strikes, Pezeshkian had said that Tehran would rebuild its nuclear sites if they were attacked.In June, Israel launched a bombing campaign against Iran targeting Tehran’s nuclear and military facilities. The strikes resulted in a 12-day conflict, during which many of Iran’s top scientists were killed.After the US announced the end of the conflict, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in July that the damage in Iran was “serious and severe.”Pezeshkian’s recent comments come as Oman, Iran’s traditional intermediary, urged Tehran and Washington on Saturday to resume talks on its nuclear programme. Oman has hosted five rounds of talks between the US and Iran this year. The talks came to a standstill after Israel struck Tehran’s nuclear facilities just days before a sixth round of negotiations.“We want to return to the negotiations between Iran (and) the United States,” Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said at the IISS Manama Dialogue conference in Bahrain.Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said Sunday that Tehran “has received messages” on resuming diplomacy. She did not provide further details.Iran is currently facing UN sanctions after Britain, Germany and France triggered the “snapback” mechanism over Tehran’s alleged non-compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.

'We will change our red lines, and...': Israel to strike Iran again? IDF member reveals Netanyahu's latest plan

In a recent address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country is engaged in a critical battle, adding that the goal is to dismantle the “Iranian axis." He said that it is “within Israel's capabilities” to destroy the axis for the peace of the region in future. He described the upcoming year as potentially “historic” for Israel’s national security. Netanyahu's remark amid his Gaza takeover offensive sparks speculation about Israel's Defence Forces' future attack on Iran. Notably, Netanyahu's remark comes months after Israel launched an attack inside Tehran in June, targeting military and nuclear facilities. Israel named the action Operation Rising Lion. The situation soon escalated into a war, which Trump later named the 'twelve-day war’, with Iran retaliating with full force. Later, the war stopped after the US got involved and struck Iran. Meanwhile, the Israeli envoy to the UN informed that it will skip an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Gaza scheduled for Tuesday because of the Jewish New Year.&nbsp;Read More <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-no-palestinian-state-will-be-established-netanyahu-vows-to-expand-jewish-settlements-in-west-bank-as-hamas-hails-victory-1758471246164">| ‘No Palestinian state will be established’: Netanyahu vows to expand Jewish settlements in West Bank as Hamas hails ‘victory’</a><h2>What Netanyahu said?</h2>&nbsp;Netanyahu, in his address for Jewish New Year, commended the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) for their “significant achievements” and acts of “heroism,” noting that today’s soldiers are showing deep commitment and making “real sacrifices.” Highlighting Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, the Prime Minister reiterated key objectives: the destruction of Hamas, securing the release of hostages, and neutralising any future threats from the Gaza Strip. However, he made it clear that “these are not the only goals.” He stressed the importance of national cohesion and perseverance, stating: “In my view, this demands two basic qualities: Unity in moments of crisis, and determination in every moment.” He ended his speech saying, “May we have a year of security, victory, and unity.

Israeli PM Netanyahu called for dismantling the “Iranian axis,” hinting at future military action after Israel’s June attack on Tehran. He praised the IOF’s efforts in Gaza and outlined goals like destroying Hamas. 

In a recent address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country is engaged in a critical battle, adding that the goal is to dismantle the “Iranian axis." He said that it is “within Israel's capabilities” to destroy the axis for the peace of the region in future. He described the upcoming year as potentially “historic” for Israel’s national security. Netanyahu's remark amid his Gaza takeover offensive sparks speculation about Israel's Defence Forces' future attack on Iran. Notably, Netanyahu's remark comes months after Israel launched an attack inside Tehran in June, targeting military and nuclear facilities. Israel named the action Operation Rising Lion. The situation soon escalated into a war, which Trump later named the 'twelve-day war’, with Iran retaliating with full force. Later, the war stopped after the US got involved and struck Iran. Meanwhile, the Israeli envoy to the UN informed that it will skip an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Gaza scheduled for Tuesday because of the Jewish New Year.

Netanyahu, in his address for Jewish New Year, commended the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) for their “significant achievements” and acts of “heroism,” noting that today’s soldiers are showing deep commitment and making “real sacrifices.” Highlighting Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, the Prime Minister reiterated key objectives: the destruction of Hamas, securing the release of hostages, and neutralising any future threats from the Gaza Strip. However, he made it clear that “these are not the only goals.” He stressed the importance of national cohesion and perseverance, stating: “In my view, this demands two basic qualities: Unity in moments of crisis, and determination in every moment.” He ended his speech saying, “May we have a year of security, victory, and unity.

Israel to strike Iran again? Netanyahu's 'destroy Iranian axis' declaration sparks speculations amid Gaza offensive

Iran's Supreme Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei urged all nations, particularly those with Islamic majorities, to end their commercial and political relations with Israel in order to ‘confront its catastrophic crimes.’ He said that continuing any form of cooperation with “the Zionist regime” is unacceptable in light of ongoing events. Khamenei's remarks were shared on his X profile after he met with the president and members of the cabinet on Sunday (Aug 7). According to him, the Muslim world must take a united and firm stand, using diplomatic and economic means to pressure Israel. He explained that cutting off trade and political ties is a necessary step toward supporting the Palestinian cause and showing solidarity with the oppressed. Khamenei stressed that silence or inaction would be seen as complicity, and he called on governments to reflect the will of their people, who are outraged by the situation. Meanwhile, he also praised Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's recent &nbsp;trip to China, stating that it “laid the groundwork for major developments, both economically and politically.”&nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Today, Islamic and non-Islamic countries but especially Islamic countries, must completely sever their commercial ties with the Zionist regime. They should even cut off political relations as well.&mdash; Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) <a href="https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/1964748549167759761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 7, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"The Leader said the Zionist entity is committing numerous crimes and astonishing catastrophes&nbsp;without any sense of shame. Although these crimes are carried out with the support of a power like the United States but the way to confront this situation is not closed,” Ayatollah Khamenei added. Khamenei also described Israel as the “most isolated and hated” regime in the world and stated that one of the main lines of Iran’s diplomacy should be urging other nations to cut political and commercial ties with the criminal regime, reported Press TV. Khamenei's remark came amid Israel's intensified offensive against Gaza. "The enemy wants to impose a 'no war, no peace' situation on Iran," Ali Khamenei said in a meeting with President Masoud Pezeshkian and his cabinet members in Tehran. "One of the harms and dangers facing the country is precisely this state of 'no war, no peace,' which is not good."&nbsp;Khamenei also said that the Iranian government has a responsibility to strengthen the nation's core pillars of power and dignity. He identified key elements such as national unity, motivation, hope, and public spirit as essential, urging that these be actively nurtured through both words and actions. He warned against allowing these values to erode. Additionally, he called on the administration to focus on improving the country’s economic conditions and the well-being of its citizens. Khamenei also stressed the importance of fostering a strong work ethic and a hopeful outlook, urging the government to move beyond a stagnant state of “neither war nor peace.”&nbsp;

'Will not show any mercy': Iran probes 20 arrests over alleged Israel links after deadly war

After weeks and months, Iran is ready to engage in talks on its nuclear program with the United States; however, they have mentioned one condition for it to happen, according to a senior Iranian diplomat. The diplomat on Thursday said that only if the US takes meaningful steps to rebuild trust.&nbsp;If the meeting happens, it will be the first meeting between Iran and the US, as it will be happening after a 12-day war initiated by Israel against Iran in July.&nbsp;The discussions will bring Iranian officials together with officials from Britain, France and Germany, known as the E3 nations.

To incite regime change? Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei reveals why Israel waged 12-day war against Tehran

During the 12-day war with Iran, Israel launched an assassination attempt on the president of the Islamic Republic, Masoud Pezeshkian. Iran's Fars News reported that Pezeshkian was targeted during an airstrike on a meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council in the lower floors of a building in western Tehran on June 16. He has sustained a leg injury in the attack. FARS said the attack was launched on the morning of Monday, June 16, while a session of the Supreme National Security Council was underway in the lower floors of the building in western Tehran, Times of Israel reported.&nbsp;&nbsp;AT the time of the attack, Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Judiciary chief Mohseni Ejei and other senior officials were present in the meeting. Six bombs or missiles were reported to target the building - focusing on the entry and exit of the building to block escape routes for the president and other officials. The report also claimed that the attack was modelled after an operation designed to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.&nbsp;Due to the massive explosion, the power to the floor was cut, but the officials managed to escape through an emergency hatch that had been prepared in advance, the report said.&nbsp;Last week, Pezeshkian said that Israel had tried to assassinate him, but did not specify the date of the alleged assassination attempt. "They did try, yes. They acted accordingly, but they failed,” Pezeshkian said.&nbsp;Moreover, a few days ago, senior IRGC general Mohsen Rezaei told the state TV that Israel “struck six points at the location where the Supreme National Security Council was meeting, but not the slightest harm was done to any of its members.”&nbsp;

Did Israel try to assassinate Iranian President Pezeshkian? Explosive report claims SECRET PLOT during 12-day war

Iran on Saturday (Jul 12) said that it would resume nuclear talks with the United States if there was a guarantee of no more attacks on the Islamic Republic. In a speech to Tehran-based foreign diplomats, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran was ready for the talks, but added that “assurance should be provided that in case of a resumption of talks, the trend will not lead to war.” He added that the deal must also respect Tehran’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Araghchi further said that cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, which was suspended following the US strikes, “will take on a new form”.&nbsp;Speaking of Israel’s 12-day military operations that targeted Iran’s key nuclear and military sites, and the US strikes on June 22, Tehran’s foreign minister said that is the US and other nations wish to resume talks with Iran, “there should be a firm guarantee that such actions will not be repeated.” He added, “The attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has made it more difficult and complicated to achieve a solution based on negotiations.”&nbsp;<h2>Iran ‘ready’ for talks</h2>&nbsp;Araghchi further said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran remains ready to build this confidence through diplomacy but, before that, our counterparts must convince us that they want diplomacy and not that diplomacy is a cover for other goals and objectives they have.”&nbsp;He added that details of a possible resumption of talks with the US were being reviewed. This included time, location, form, ingredients, and assurances required for negotiations.&nbsp;“If negotiations are held... the subject of the negotiations will be only nuclear and creating confidence in Iran’s nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions,” Araghchi told diplomats in Tehran. “No other issues will be subject to negotiation.”&nbsp;He warned that a so-called snapback of UN sanctions could end Europe’s involvement in the issue of Tehran’s nuclear programme. As per a clause in the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and global powers, the UN can reimpose sanctions in case Tehran breaches the deal.&nbsp;<h2>Cooperation with IAEA will take ‘new form’</h2>&nbsp;Following the US strikes on Iran, Tehran suspended its ties with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Araghchi said that Iran’s cooperation with the agency has not stopped, “but will take on a new form.” He added that requests to monitor nuclear sites “will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis... taking into account safety and security issues.”&nbsp;<h2>Nuclear deal must respect ‘right’ to enrichment</h2>&nbsp;The foreign minister insisted that any new nuclear deal must respect its right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. “I would like to emphasise that in any negotiated solution, the rights of the Iranian people on the nuclear issue, including the right to enrichment, must be respected,” he said. “We will not have any agreement in which enrichment is not included.”

Speaking of Israel’s 12-day military operations that targeted Iran’s key nuclear and military sites, and the US strikes on June 22, Tehran’s foreign minister said that is the US and other nations wish to resume talks with Iran, “there should be a firm guarantee that such actions will not be repeated.” He added, “The attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has made it more difficult and complicated to achieve a solution based on negotiations.” Iran ‘ready’ for talks Araghchi further said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran remains ready to build this confidence through diplomacy but, before that, our counterparts must convince us that they want diplomacy and not that diplomacy is a cover for other goals and objectives they have.” He added that details of a possible resumption of talks with the US were being reviewed. This included time, location, form, ingredients, and assurances required for negotiations. “If negotiations are held... the subject of the negotiations will be only nuclear and creating confidence in Iran’s nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions,” Araghchi told diplomats in Tehran. “No other issues will be subject to negotiation.” He warned that a so-called snapback of UN sanctions could end Europe’s involvement in the issue of Tehran’s nuclear programme. As per a clause in the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and global powers, the UN can reimpose sanctions in case Tehran breaches the deal. Cooperation with IAEA will take ‘new form’ Following the US strikes on Iran, Tehran suspended its ties with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Araghchi said that Iran’s cooperation with the agency has not stopped, “but will take on a new form.” He added that requests to monitor nuclear sites “will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis... taking into account safety and security issues.” Nuclear deal must respect ‘right’ to enrichment The foreign minister insisted that any new nuclear deal must respect its right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. “I would like to emphasise that in any negotiated solution, the rights of the Iranian people on the nuclear issue, including the right to enrichment, must be respected,” he said. “We will not have any agreement in which enrichment is not included.”

The foreign minister insisted that any new nuclear deal must respect its right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.

‘Assurance should be provided’: Iran ‘ready’ to resume nuclear talks with US on THIS condition

After the 12-day-long war with Israel, Iran has once again issued a stark warning to Benjamin Netanyahu as the Islamic Republic braces for any possible attack. Tehran's Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi said that Iran has prepared a "decisive retaliation" to any future attacks. As per Tasnim news agency, the commander said the retaliation plan, which aligns with Khamenei's directive, was ready but was not implemented due to the truce.&nbsp;“If they attack Iran again, they will see what we are capable of doing,” Mousavi was quoted as saying by the state-run agency. Mousavi further said that Iran's response to any new attacks will "paralyse" Israel to a point where even "the United States may not be able to save Netanyahu.”&nbsp;The remarks came days after the 12-day Israel-Iran war, which was later joined by the US targeting nuclear sites of the Islamic Republic.&nbsp;Iran has started nuclear programme at different location?&nbsp;US President Donald Trump said on Friday (June 4) that Iran had not agreed to inspection of its nuclear program or even to give up enriching uranium. Referring to the reports about Air Force One, en route to New Jersey, Trump said Tehran's nuclear programme had been set back permanently after the Israel-Iran war, but the Islamic Republic could start it at a different location.&nbsp;"I would say it's set back permanently," Trump said as he travelled to New Jersey after an Independence Day celebration at the White House. "I would think they'd have to start at a different location. And if they did start, it would be a problem."&nbsp;'Enemies of God'? &nbsp;&nbsp;A top cleric of Iran has called the US President Donald Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the "enemies of God" in a newly issued fatwa (an Islamic judgement). Iran's Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued the fatwa while urging Muslims across the world to take action.

'US may not be able to save Netanyahu': Iran's stark WARNING to Israel against possible attack to its nuke sites

Business conditions in the United Arab Emirates faced fresh pressure in June as the Israel–Iran conflict rattled regional demand, denting sales and testing Dubai’s reputation as the Gulf’s commercial safe-haven. According to S&amp;P Global data cited by Bloomberg, the UAE’s non-oil private sector showed only modest growth last month, with companies reporting a slowdown in orders amid heightened geopolitical tensions.<h2>UAE PMI points to slowdown</h2>The UAE’s headline Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), a key measure of private-sector health outside the oil industry, inched up to 53.5 in June from 53.3 in May, S&amp;P Global said. While still in expansion territory (above 50), the muted increase reflected caution among households and businesses.&nbsp;“The UAE non-oil sector showed signs of a minor setback in June due to the conflict between Israel and Iran,” said David Owen, senior economist at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, as quoted by Bloomberg. “The impact was primarily felt on the demand side, as some businesses reported a slowdown in orders driven by heightened tensions.”<h2>Dubai’s economy feels the strain</h2>The data showed a sharper impact in Dubai, the UAE’s commercial and financial hub, often seen as the Middle East’s safe port in a storm. Dubai’s non-oil PMI dropped to 51.8 in June from 52.9 in May, marking the lowest reading in nearly four years, S&amp;P Global reported. The decline was driven by what the firm described as “a marked slowdown in sales growth,” underscoring the vulnerability of the emirate’s economy to regional uncertainty.Several companies cited in the S&amp;P Global survey pointed to increased competition and weaker tourism linked to the heightened tensions, both of which weighed on new business.<h2>A test for the UAE’s “open for business” strategy</h2>As Bloomberg notes, the Israel–Iran conflict has posed a sharp test for the UAE’s long-standing strategy of maintaining political stability and an open, business-friendly environment in an often turbulent region.While the UAE has largely stayed insulated from direct military fallout, the conflict has fuelled worries over shipping risks, insurance costs, regional tourism flows and investor sentiment. Dubai’s model as a neutral, globally connected hub relies on steady demand and confidence from tourists, investors and multinational firms.&nbsp;&nbsp;The PMI data suggests that even without direct attacks, the conflict’s ripple effects can slow spending and investment.<h2>Outlook remains cautiously positive</h2>Despite the setback, economists see potential for recovery if regional tensions subside. “With consumer price pressures appearing limited, the latest data suggests that a rebound in sales growth is wholly possible in the coming months should regional tensions ease,” Owen told Bloomberg.&nbsp;The UAE has weathered previous regional crises, relying on its diversified economy, modern infrastructure and pro-business policies to maintain investor confidence. Analysts say these fundamentals remain intact, giving the country scope for a rebound later this year.<h2>Balancing growth and stability</h2>The latest PMI figures highlight the delicate balance the UAE must maintain as it promotes itself as a haven for global business while navigating a volatile neighbourhood. As S&amp;P Global’s report makes clear, even indirect consequences of geopolitical crises can undermine consumer demand and business confidence, underscoring the need for diplomacy and stability to sustain growth.&nbsp;While the Israel–Iran conflict continues to cast a shadow over Dubai’s economy, many observers remain confident in its resilience, provided the region can avoid a wider escalation in the months ahead. &nbsp;

Israel–Iran war threatens UAE business outlook before Q3 rebound

After the 12-day war and the announcement of the fragile ceasefire, the Israeli Defence Ministry has announced that its satellites took tens of millions of photos of Iran leading up to, and during, the recent war. The comprehensive space-based intelligence captured tens of thousands of square kilometres through day-night surveillance and produced 12,000+ satellite images of the Iranian territory, the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post reported. The outlet said that since the total area of Iran is around &nbsp;1.6 million square kilometres and Iran's Operation Rising Lion was focused on the Tehran and western parts of Iran only - there was a need to photograph various parts of the Islamic Republic. The ministry said that this means that Israeli satellites were surveilling hundreds of different targets per day in Iran. The ministry said that apart from new level of volume in satellite use, Israel has also shifted its use of satellites from only receiving an intermittent snapshot of the status of a specific spot in Iran for general analysis, to being able to maintain real-time constant tactical and operational surveillance of many places all over the Islamic Republic.&nbsp;The ministry claimed that Israel used the satellites to determine the extent to which additional aerial sorties against a target may be necessary. Israel Defence Minister says Netanyahu sought to KILL Khamenei &nbsp;&nbsp;After the announcement of a ceasefire in the Israel-Iran war, the Israeli Defence Minister claimed that his army had tried to assassinate the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei. Israel Katz said his country failed to do so because the opportunity did not present itself. Talking in an interview with Channel 13, Katz revealed Israel had intentions of assassinating Khamenei, but "there was no opportunity."“If he had been in our sights, we would have taken him out,” Katz said in the interview. "We wanted to eliminate Khamenei, but there was no operational opportunity," he added. When he was asked if Israel sought the permission of America for its plan to assassinate Khamenei, the defence minister said Israel does not "need permission for these things.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The outlet said that since the total area of Iran is around  1.6 million square kilometres and Iran Operation Rising Lion was focused on the Tehran and western parts of Iran only.

Israel launched Operation Rising Lion on June 13, in what it called "preemptive strikes" on Iran's nuclear facilities, however, it was not just a surprise, but the attack was multifaceted.Israel carried out a "deception campaign" to lull Iran into a false sense of security and cause the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air officials to gather that morning.When Israel launched its first strike, Iran was still under the impression that the negotiations were underway. However, Iran went on to attack several nuclear facilities, giving its fighter jets and drones the freedom to launch attacks.The Israeli Defence Forces lauded the operation, saying that "it fully met and even exceeded, all the objectives and goals" that it had set out before the operation.As the Intelligence Directorate identified that Iran was continuing to advance its "plan to destroy Israel", the IDF stressed that allowing such efforts by Iran would make it much harder to combat in the future.At that time, the army identified a "strategic window of opportunity" to act against these threats. The IDF said that it used the strategic window of opportunity driven by the growing threat of Iran.One IDF general, during a recent discussion, said, "The stars aligned."Over the years, Israel has carried out covert actions, while monitoring the developments in Iran, to delay and disrupt their nuclear and missile threats.But in October 2024, after the increasing threat during a fight with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the IDF got triggered and accelerated its plan for a campaign against Iran.In November, the Intelligence Directorate and IAF held a joint conference during which they outlined Iran's "centres of gravity", which included Iranian firepower, air superiority, the nuclear program, force buildup, the Iranian economy, governance, and the military industry.To maintain the secrecy, even senior regional commanders within the IDF were left in dark until the final hours of the operation.&nbsp;

In one of the biggest missions carried out by America, the US deployed its B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to strike Iranian nuclear facilities after it joined Israel in its war with Iran. The aircraft dropped 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs on Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear sites.This was the first time, B-2 was used in combat in such a high-stake mission. However, the B-2 bombers remain exclusive to the US and are not available for any other country, and cost billions to produce.The B-2 Spirit bomber is not just the most dangerous but also the most expensive jet. According to reports, developing a single B-2 bomber costs around $2 billion, and its price rises further when exported. Moreover, its maintenance also costs thousands of crores of rupees.<h2>Comparing cost breakdown</h2><h3>India's Tejas fighter jet</h3>There is a stark difference in the cost of a a B-2 Spirit bomber and India's indigenous Tejas MK1A fighter jet. The B-2 bomber costs Rs 17,142 crores ($2 billion), while a Tejas MK1A, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), costs somewhere between Rs 600 to Rs 638 crores.With all the calculations, India could produce 28 to 29 Tejas MK1A jets for the price of one B-2 bomber.With a state-of-the-art radar system, India's Tejas MJ1A is a 4 or 4.5-generation ultra-modern fighter aircraft.<h3>America's F-35</h3>Another American fifth-generation aircraft, the F-35 Lightening II, is estimated to be worth $110 million (Rs 942 crore) per unit in the international defence market, according to reports.Similar to the B-2 bomber, the F-35 is a stealth jet designed to evade radar detection. There have been reports of potential sales of F-35 jets to India. However, no such confirmation has been made yet.Moreover, it compared 18 F-35 jets that could be acquired for the cost of one B-2 Spirit bomber.<h3>France's Rafale</h3>The price of the base model of France's Dassault Rafale fighter jet is somewhere near to the F-35. However, 36 Rafale jets which were purchased by India were extremely customised to meet specific targets and the cost of each aircraft was Rs 2,057 crore.&nbsp;

A top cleric of Iran has called the US President Donald Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the "enemies of God" in a newly issued fatwa (an Islamic judgement). &nbsp;Iran's Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued the fatwa while urging Muslims across the world to take action. The fatwa said that anyone who &nbsp;threatens or attacks the leadership and authority of the Islamic community is considered a “warlord" or “criminal of mohareb." Mohareb is a term used in the Iranian law for a person who wages war against God. “Any person or regime that threatens or attacks the leadership and authority in order to harm the Islamic Ummah and its sovereignty is considered a warlord," Ayatollah Makarem said in his fatwa.

The tensions persist even after a ceasefire was announced by Trump.&nbsp;How much damage did Iran face in the war?&nbsp;As per the American news agency CBS News, US defence officials said that three American B-2 bombers were used to strike the Fordow nuclear site of Iran. Each of the B-2s was armed by 2 US-made "bunker-buster" bombs - also known as GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or MOPs bombs. These bombs are extremely heavy in weight and can only be dropped using a B-2.&nbsp;Iran's key nuke facility, Fordow, was attacked by the US. It is Iran's high-grade uranium enrichment facility and is buried around 300 feet under a mountain. Apart from this, Natanz and Isfahan, two other nuclear sites, were also targeted by the US via Tomahawk missiles launched by submarines.&nbsp;The United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a social media post that there was "no increase in off-site radiation levels" after the US strike.

'Enemies of God'? Iran cleric issues fatwa against Trump and Netanyahu | Here's what it says

Ali Shamkhani, senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has spoken publicly for the first time since surviving an Israeli airstrike on his Tehran residence during the June 13 offensive. In a televised interview aired by Iranian state TV on Saturday, Shamkhani described being buried under the debris for over three hours, believing at first that the explosion was an earthquake. “My family was sleeping in the next room. I was asleep because it was prayer time and I was waking up when my entire room collapsed and a lot of debris fell on me,” he said. “I was under the rubble for 3 hours. I did my morning prayer under the rubble.”&nbsp;Shamkhani, who now uses a steam-assisted breathing device for lung recovery, suffered internal injuries and broken ribs. “At first, I thought an earthquake had occurred, and I remained under the rubble for three hours until I heard the sound of a car. At that point, I realised that Israel had targeted me because, in an earthquake, cars cannot move through the streets of Tehran,” he told in the interview. Reports of his death had earlier circulated widely, including confirmations by both Israeli and Iranian sources. However, Iranian state media later carried a letter from Shamkhani addressed to Khamenei, affirming that he had survived.

I can’t reveal the reason, but I made their lives miserable.” He dismissed rumours of a leg amputation, saying, “They were falsely claiming they amputated my leg. Let them take it away. What do I need a leg for?” Shamkhani, a former navy commander and head of the Supreme National Security Council, appeared later that day at the funeral for Iranian officials and scientists killed in the Israeli strikes — an event Supreme Leader Khamenei notably did not attend.&nbsp;A resident living opposite Shamkhani’s residence told Middle East Eye that the blast was so powerful she and her husband were thrown from their bed. “It was a miracle we survived,” she said.&nbsp;Ali Shamkhani also took part in Saturday’s state funeral held for military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians killed in Israeli strikes earlier this month. He was seen standing alongside President Masoud Pezeshkian and Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the Supreme Leader. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remained conspicuously absent, reportedly due to ongoing security concerns. State media reported that the funeral honoured 60 individuals in total, including 16 scientists, 10 senior commanders, as well as four women and four children. &nbsp;

"I was waking up when my entire room collapsed and a lot of debris fell on me,” he said. “I was under the rubble for 3 hours. I did my morning prayer under the rubble.”

The Israel-Iran war that lasted for 12 days came to an end with a ceasefire brokered by the United States. But the destruction caused on both sides will weigh heavily on their economy as it may take several months to rebuild. Israel, despite its 'impenetrable' air shield called Iron Dome has suffered heavy losses in missile strikes by Iran. Tel Aviv has suffered &nbsp;at least $3 billion in damage, according to estimates.&nbsp;The director general of Israel’s Tax Authority while speaking to Bloomberg acknowledged, “This is the greatest challenge we’ve faced — there has never been this amount of damage in Israel’s history."&nbsp;The $3 billion in damage caused by Iranian missile strikes includes funds that will be needed to repair missile-hit buildings as well as compensation that will be paid to local businesses and does not include the cost of replacing weapons and defense systems used in the campaign.&nbsp;If the total cost of war is considered, the cost could then run as high as $12 billion, according to the Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich address to the media, reported Bloomberg. This considers compensation of approximately 5 billion shekels to be paid to businesses for facing losses.&nbsp;While Amir Yaron, Bank of Israel Governor put this estimate at approximately $ 6 billion. In an interview to the media outlet, he said that the 12-day war with Iran cost Israel nearly 1% of its GDP or about 20 billion shekels ($5.9 billion).&nbsp;The Iran–Israel war began on 13 June 2025, when Israel launched surprise attacks on key military and nuclear facilities in Iran, claiming Tehran was close to building a nuclear weapon.&nbsp;Iran says it is operating an entirely peaceful nuclear programme for civilian purposes.On 24 June, both the countries agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States. Despite initial violations by both Iran and Israel, the ceasefire holds as of 29 June.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Israeli military this month executed a full-planned operation on June 13 to target Iranian nuclear facilities and eliminate its top military commanders. One of their operations was dubbed "Red Wedding" on the infamous Game of Thrones massacre, executing one of their biggest operations.The series of attacks that jolted Iran this month was not just a military campaign but it included deceptions, logistics, years of planning, and old-fashioned assassinations.Operation Red Wedding was planned to destroy Iran's military leadership in one fell swoop, giving them no power to coordinate a retaliatory attack. Meanwhile, the Israeli army was simultaneously striking at Iran's nuclear sites to crush their nuclear capabilities.Then something unexpected happened, which made Israeli commanders cautious, as they feared their cover was blown. The Israeli surveillance noticed Iran's air force leadership suddenly mobilising. However, Iran's military leaders unknowingly gathered at one location, making it easier for them to attack. Then just within minutes, the Israeli military wiped all of them out.On the other hand, Operation Narnia was in place, in which the Israeli military was killing Iran's leading nuclear scientists. It did not take long for the Israeli forces to eliminate Iran's top military leaders as well as nuclear scientists.Israeli intelligence tracked their movements and struck when they unknowingly clustered together. “Rather than scattering, they gathered - sealing their fate,” Wall Street Journal reported, shedding light on why it was exactly "Operation Red Wedding".It all began in the 1990s, when Israel identified Iran's nuclear capabilities and started planning to destroy Iranian nuclear infrastructure.Over the 12-day war, at least 1190 Iranians were killed in Israeli strikes, according to a US-based human rights group. While 4475 people suffered injuries.However, both Israel and Iran claimed victory in the war after US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, ending the 12-day war.&nbsp;

'SAVED HIM FROM VERY UGLY, IGNOMINIOUS DEATH': Trump says he knew where Khamenei was hidden, warns 'it'll only get worse'

After the 12-day war between Israel and Iran over Iran's building nuclear weapons, the US is now exploring a range of proposals to get Tehran back on table for further negotiations, according to four sources familiar with the matter, CNN reported. The proposals include easing sanctions, releasing billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds, and much more.This further includes a $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, according to the sources.Despite the 12-day war and Israeli attacks on Iran, people mediating from the US and the Middle East were in talks with the Iranians over the past two weeks.The officials from US President Donald Trump administration stressed that several proposals have been floated to the Iranians. However, there is just one consistent non-negotiable thing, zero Iranian enrichment of uranium, which Iran has consistently said it requires.<h2>What all does the proposal include?</h2>Among all the terms discussed between the US and Iran, some include an estimated $20-30 billion investment in a new Iranian non-enrichment nuclear program that would be used for civilian energy purposes.The money would not directly come from the US, one official insisted, saying that he prefers its Arab partners foot the bill.Meanwhile, in earlier rounds of talks, investment in Iran's nuclear energy facilities was discussed.“The US is willing to lead these talks” with Iran, the Trump administration official told CNN. “And someone is going to need to pay for the nuclear program to be built, but we will not make that commitment.”While, some other incentives include removing sanctions on Iran and allowing them the $6 billion, which has been froze in foreign bank accounts.Another key proposal they gave is for US-backed allies in the Gulf to pay to replace the Fordow nuclear facility, which was hit by the US bunker-buster bombs last weekend during Israel-Iran war.“There are a lot of ideas being thrown around by different people and a lot of them are trying to be creative,” one of the sources told CNN.

After the end of war between Iran and Israel in a US brokered ceasefire, the question that comes to mind is the situation of Iran's missile arsenal that proved effective to a great extent against it's rival in the conflict that lasted for almost two weeks. The destructive power of its long-range missiles was evident with kind of damage caused to infrastructre and the casualties that Israel suffered.&nbsp;Israel has claimed to take out much of Iran's stockpile and the means to launch them.&nbsp;What remains of Iran’s arsenal? &nbsp;At the beginning of the conflict with Iran, the Israeli intelligence had estimated a stockpile of roughly 2,000 ballistic missiles, according to Fox News. But since the conflict began, many of those have been launched or destroyed in Israeli airstrikes.&nbsp;According to a US intelligence report that came out before the war, Iran could produce around 50 ballistic missiles per month. But given the number of missiles that were fired by Tehran, the estimate proved out of sync.&nbsp;“I think the production rate is almost irrelevant to their rate of fire,” said Fabian Hinz, a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies to The Times of Israel.&nbsp;He, however, mentioned that Israeli strikes have likely degraded or destroyed many key production facilities.&nbsp;“Israel has the opportunity to paralyze and ruin the missile production if they want to. They know where the subcomponents are produced,” Hinz said.&nbsp;Iran would fall short of making up for the nearly 600 ballistic missiles launched and several more destroyed by Israel even if Tehran continues limited production. Reaching to the number of earlier stockpile could take years, according to experts, reported The Times of Israel.&nbsp;Hinz, however, said that Iran still retains much of its short-range missile and anti-ship missile arsenal that could be used to &nbsp;target US bases, commercial shipping, or energy infrastructure in the Gulf, if such a situation arises again. &nbsp;

Israel-Iran Conflict: Amid the shaky ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced after a 12-day war, the Israeli Defence Minister claimed that his army had tried to assassinate the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei. Israel Katz said his country failed to do so because the opportunity did not present itself. Talking in an interview with Channel 13, Katz revealed Israel had intentions of assassinating Khamenei, but "there was no opportunity."&nbsp;“If he had been in our sights, we would have taken him out,” Katz said in the interview. "We wanted to eliminate Khamenei, but there was no operational opportunity," he added. When he was asked if Israel sought the permission of America for its plan to assassinate Khamenei, the defence minister said Israel does not "need permission for these things.”&nbsp;Katz claimed that since his assassination was on the cards, the Iranian Supreme Leader went “underground to very great depths," which made it tough for the Israeli army to locate him. He also claimed that Khamenei broke off all the contacts with his generals during the 12 ay war. But Khamenei released multiple video messages during the war, and there is no evidence that can confirm he cut off the contacts.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/us-iran-nuclear-talks-iran-denies-any-meeting-with-us-next-week-1751008041446">https://www.wionews.com/videos/us-iran-nuclear-talks-iran-denies-any-meeting-with-us-next-week-1751008041446/embed</a>&nbsp;Katz also has claimed that Israel has "green lights" from Donald Trump to launch a fresh strike on Iran if the country is deemed to be making "progress" with its nuclear program. “I do not see a situation where Iran will restore the nuclear facilities after the attack,” the Israeli minister said.&nbsp;This was after the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement on Ali Khamenei during the war. Talking amid the Israel-Iran war, Netanyahu has said that the assassination of the Iranian Supreme Leader would not escalate the conflict, but it would “end the conflict.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Amid the shaky ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced after a 12-day war, the Israeli Defence Minister claimed that his army had tried to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei but could not find an opportunity. He said Israel does not need US permission to kill Khamenei.

When he was asked if Israel sought the permission of America for its plan to assassinate Khamenei, the defence minister said Israel does not "need permission for these things.” Katz claimed that since his assassination was on the cards, the Iranian Supreme Leader went “underground to very great depths," which made it tough for the Israeli army to locate him. He also claimed that Khamenei broke off all the contacts with his generals during the 12 ay war. But Khamenei released multiple video messages during the war, and there is no evidence that can confirm he cut off the contacts. https://www.wionews.com/videos/us-iran-nuclear-talks-iran-denies-any-meeting-with-us-next-week-1751008041446/embed Katz also has claimed that Israel has "green lights" from Donald Trump to launch a fresh strike on Iran if the country is deemed to be making "progress" with its nuclear program. “I do not see a situation where Iran will restore the nuclear facilities after the attack,” the Israeli minister said. This was after the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement on Ali Khamenei during the war. Talking amid the Israel-Iran war, Netanyahu has said that the assassination of the Iranian Supreme Leader would not escalate the conflict, but it would “end the conflict.”

Amid the shaky ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced after a 12-day war, the Israeli Defence Minister claimed that his army had tried to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei but couldn't find opportunity. He said Israel doesn't need ‘US permission’ to kill Khamenei.&nbsp;
