Israel-Iran war news LIVE updates | The war between Israel and Iran has now entered its second week. The latest round of open hostilities between the two nations began after a series of Israeli air raids on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure last week. The initial attacks triggered Iranian retaliation, subsequently leading to a significant escalation on both sides.While the United States is yet to officially join the conflict, it has openly backed Israel, while continuing to renegotiate a nuclear treaty with Iran. In 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term, the US had exited the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal. The agreement, which limited the Iranian nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief and other provisions, was finalised in Vienna on 14 July 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 together with the European Union.Trump on Friday (Jun 20) warned that Iran had a "maximum" of two weeks to avoid possible American air strikes. He said that he was not inclined to stop Israel attacking Iran because it was "winning," and said that "I'm giving them (Tehran) a period of time, and I would say two weeks would be the maximum."<h2>What are Israel and Iran fighting about?</h2>The ongoing conflict is the most direct confrontation between Israel and Iran in recent years. The two nations have a history of geopolitical tensions. The ongoing war has at its root Iran's nuclear programme, which Israel views as an existential threat, claiming it’s a cover for building a bomb—something Tehran denies.<h2>Follow WION's live coverage of the Israel-Iran war here:</h2>

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan has condemned “blatant Israeli aggressions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security, constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms, and threaten the security and stability of the region,” the state-run Saudi Press Agency reports.Speaking at a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, he calls for “the immediate cessation of military operations, the avoidance of escalation, and a return to the negotiation track between Iran and the international community.”Iran and Saudi Arabia were long regional arch-rivals but have normalised relations in recent years. Riyadh was quick to side publicly with Tehran after Israel launched a surprise barrage of strikes on Iran last week.Bin Farhan also reiterates Saudi Arabia’s support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The kingdom and France had been set to co-chair a conference in New York this month on the topic, which was postponed due to the outbreak of the Israel-Iran war.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says his country’s military strikes have pushed back Iran’s nuclear timeline by at least two to three years.In an interview, Saar stated, "According to the assessment we hear, we already delayed for at least two or three years the possibility for them to have a nuclear bomb."This comes amid growing international unease over Iran's uranium enrichment, which the UN's nuclear watchdog says is approaching weapons-grade. However, as per IAEA, there was no evidence that Tehran had all the components to make a functioning nuclear warhead. &nbsp;

Israel-Iran war news LIVE updates | The war between Israel and Iran has now entered its second week. The latest round of open hostilities between the two nations began after a series of Israeli air raids on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure last week. The initial attacks triggered Iranian retaliation, subsequently leading to a significant escalation on both sides. While the United States is yet to officially join the conflict, it has openly backed Israel, while continuing to renegotiate a nuclear treaty with Iran. In 2018, during President Donald Trump's first term, the US had exited the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal. The agreement, which limited the Iranian nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief and other provisions, was finalised in Vienna on 14 July 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 together with the European Union. Trump on Friday (Jun 20) warned that Iran had a "maximum" of two weeks to avoid possible American air strikes. He said that he was not inclined to stop Israel attacking Iran because it was "winning," and said that "I'm giving them (Tehran) a period of time, and I would say two weeks would be the maximum." What are Israel and Iran fighting about? The ongoing conflict is the most direct confrontation between Israel and Iran in recent years. The two nations have a history of geopolitical tensions. The ongoing war has at its root Iran's nuclear programme, which Israel views as an existential threat, claiming it’s a cover for building a bomb—something Tehran denies.

Iranians living abroad trying to get in touch with their loved ones in the country are being greeted by a strange robotic voice. Associated Press heard the recordings and described them as "deeply eerie and disconcerting." No one knows who is behind the robotic voices on call, with some experts saying it could be Iran diverting international calls, while others think Israel could also be responsible. Ellie, a British-Iranian living in the United Kingdom, called her mother in Tehran, and got this response - “Alo? Alo? Who is calling?” After a few seconds, the voice said, “I can’t heard you." It then adds, "Who you want to speak with? I’m Alyssia. Do you remember me? I think I don’t know who are you," all in incorrect English.The news agency reported that at least nine Iranians in other countries say they have been met by the creepy voice recordings. AP shared the voice clips with five experts, who think it could be "low-tech artificial intelligence, a chatbot or a pre-recorded message to which calls from abroad were diverted."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday (Jun 20) said that Russia has once again shown that they are “not in the mood for a ceasefire” and “wants to wage war”. This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s remarks suggesting he did not “rule out” his forces taking control of Ukraine's northeastern city of Sumy as part of efforts to create a buffer zone along the border.&nbsp;“Today, the Russians once again openly and absolutely cynically declared that they are ‘not in the mood’ for a ceasefire,” Zelensky wrote on X. “Russia wants to wage war. Even brandishing some threats.”&nbsp;He reiterated that other nations are not putting enough pressure on Russia, saying, “This means the pressure the world is applying isn’t hurting them enough yet, or they are trying very hard to keep up appearances.” He added, “Well, the Russian economy is already crumbling. We will support this process even more.”&nbsp;Referring to Russia’s recent support for Iran amid its conflict with Israel, the Ukrainian leader said, “Ayatollah Putin can look at his friends in Iran to see where such regimes end up, and how far into decay they drive their countries.”&nbsp;In a video message, Zelensky said, “Another phase of the exchange has been completed, and we are preparing the ones to follow. Today, our warriors returned home to Ukraine – warriors from various branches of our Defence Forces, many of whom had been in captivity for over two years. The exchange process must continue.”&nbsp;“There was a meeting of the Staff — a very detailed report on the frontline. Particular attention was paid to the Sumy region, to operations in the border areas. I am grateful to our units for their resilience,” Zelensky said.&nbsp;“The Russians had various plans and intentions there – absolutely insane, as usual. We are holding them back and eliminating these killers, defending our Sumy region.”&nbsp;“The volume of support this year is the largest since the start of the full-scale war,” Zelensky noted.&nbsp;Condemning Russia’s recent remarks, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga wrote on X, “Putin’s cynical statements demonstrate complete disdain for US peace efforts... The only way to force Russia into peace is to deprive it of its sense of impunity.”&nbsp;Earlier, Putin said that, “We have no objective to take Sumy, but in principle I do not rule it out... They pose a constant threat to us, constantly shelling the border areas.”&nbsp;“I treat Russians and Ukrainians as one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine belongs to us,” he said. “There is a saying: wherever a Russian soldier puts his foot, that is ours.”

Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of nationwide pro-Palestinian campus protests, was released from a federal detention centre on Friday (Jun 20) after a court order. The former Columbia University student, a legal permanent resident in the United States, was arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allegedly leading pro-Palestine protests at the Ivy League campus in New York City in 2024. Khalil claimed that the government was targeting him for his political beliefs. He was the leader of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest and was arrested from his apartment on March 8.&nbsp;“This shouldn’t have taken three months,” said Khalil, who is married to a US citizen and has a US-born son, told US media outside an immigration detention centre in Jena, Louisiana, hours after a federal judge ordered his release. “(President Donald) Trump and his administration, they chose the wrong person for this.” He added, “There’s no right person who should be detained for actually protesting a genocide.”&nbsp;The Department of Homeland Security criticised the court’s ruling by District Judge Michael Farbiarz, calling it an example of how “out of control members of the judicial branch are undermining our national security.” Earlier, the Trump administration tried to deport the pro-Palestine activist after his arrest, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the attempt.&nbsp;While Khalil has been released, he still faces some restrictions on where he can travel within the country. Under the terms of his release, he is also not allowed to leave the United States unless in a case of “self-deportation”.&nbsp;Khalil’ wife, Noor Abdalla, who is a Michigan-born dentist that her family could now “finally breathe a sigh of relief and know that Maumoud is on his way home.”&nbsp;“We know this ruling does not begin to address the injustices the Trump administration has brought upon our family and so many others the government is trying to silence for speaking out against Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians,” Abdalla said. &nbsp;

‘Shouldn’t have taken 3 months’: Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil released from custody after US court order

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Jun 20) took a victory lap for brokering a peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda — before promptly turning his focus to cribbing about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. In a joint statement on Wednesday (Jun 18), the two warring African nations said that they had initiated a deal in Washington to end hostilities in eastern Congo. The accord, as per reports, is set to be formally signed in the US capital next week.<h2>No Nobel Peace Prize for Trump</h2>In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump called the agreement a "Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World".But after celebrating the breakthrough, Trump's tone quickly soured as he complained about being overlooked by the Nobel Committee and said "I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do".

Once again claiming credit for brokering peace between India and Pakistan, Trump said, "I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan"."I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the war between Serbia and Kosovo."The Republican leader also demanded credit "for keeping peace between Egypt and Ethiopia" and for "doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East". &nbsp;Airing a familiar complaint about the Norwegian Nobel Committee's perceived snub, he claimed, "No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be," before adding, "but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!".According to Trump, the signing will take place on Monday, though the two countries have said it is scheduled for June 27.<h2>Self-obsessed? Trump's overstated peacemaking credentials</h2>While the DRC-Rwanda agreement marks a tangible diplomatic achievement, Trump has been known to overstate his peacemaking credentials. He has long claimed credit for de-escalation between India and Pakistan — which Indian officials firmly deny.It must be noted that he campaigned for office as a "peacemaker", promising solutions for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza within days after moving into the White House. But five months into the Trump 2.0 presidency, both the wars continue to rage and show no end.Trump has even received multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations from supporters and allies — a fact he frequently likes to reference.&nbsp;

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday (Jun 20) said that Tehran is ready to “consider diplomacy” again only after Israel’s “aggression is stopped”. Araghchi made the remarks following discussions with European powers in Geneva on Iran’s nuclear programme, where top diplomats from Britain, France and Germany were present. This comes as Israel’s military chief warned that the war, which started on June 13, will be “prolonged”. Both sides have continued the attacks as the conflict in the Middle East entered its second week on Friday.&nbsp;“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy once again and once the aggression is stopped and the aggressor is held accountable for the crimes committed... We support the continuation of discussion with” Britain, France, Germany and the European Union “and express our readiness to meet again in the near future,” Araghchi told reporters following the talks at a Geneva hotel.&nbsp;Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir said in a video statement, “We must be ready for a prolonged campaign.” Zamir’s remarks come eight days after Israel launched a massive wave of strikes as part of a military operation aimed at stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons – a claim that Tehran has consistently denied. He added, “The campaign is not over. Although we have made significant achievements, difficult days still lie ahead.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Friday said that European powers would not be able to help end the conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump dismissed the chances of Europe making a difference, saying that the talks between Britain, France, Germany and EU diplomats and Tehran's foreign minister “didn't help.”&nbsp;“Iran doesn’t want to speak to Europe. They want to speak to us. Europe is not going to be able to help in this,” Trump told reporters as he arrived in Morristown, New Jersey. When asked whether he would ask Israel to stop its attacks as Iran had asked, Trump said it was “very hard to make that request right now.”&nbsp;French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said, “We invited the Iranian minister to consider negotiations with all sides, including the United States, without awaiting the cessation of strikes, which we also hope for.” He added that there “can be no definitive solution through military means to the Iran nuclear problem”. Barrot also warned that it was “dangerous to want to impose a regime change” in Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier said that he did not rule out killing Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.&nbsp;Disclaimer: WION takes utmost care to accurately and responsibly report ongoing developments in the Israel-Iran conflict.
