„We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,“ Ma‘ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events „swung American public opinion in our favor.“
Netanyahu reportedly made the comments during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, “It‘s very good.“ Then he edited himself: “Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.“ He predicted that the attack would “strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we‘ve experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.“

A week later, the Village Voice states, âFrom national networks to small-town newspapers, the view that Americaâs terrible taste of terrorism will finally do away with even modest calls for the restraint of Israelâs military attacks on Palestinian towns has become an instant, unshakable axiom.⊠Now, support for Israel in America is officially absolute, and Palestinians are cast once again as players in a global terrorist conspiracy.â

Francesca Hong, the democratic socialist running in the Democratic primary for the Wisconsin governorâs race, lost last night in an extremely close election. She came within half a percentage point of beating David Crowley, the executive of Milwaukee County. Preelection polling showed Hong with a commanding lead, and many assumed she would coast to victory. As such, her result is being spun as a hard defeat for the socialist left.
Nach dem Anschlag am Rande des Christopher Street Days (CSD) in Berlin haben Ermittler auf dem Handy des mutmaĂlichen TĂ€ters Abdul B. ein Bekennervideo gefunden. Eine Sprecherin der Bundesanwaltschaft bestĂ€tigte einen entsprechenden Bericht der „Bild“. Das Video zeige demnach unter anderem einen Treueschwur auf die Terrororganisation Islamischer Staat (IS).
Ob es sich bei der Person in dem Video sicher um Abdul B. handelt, blieb zunĂ€chst offen. Nach Informationen des „Spiegel“ ist der Mann auf dem Video verhĂŒllt, es soll sich aber mutmaĂlich um Abdul B. handeln.

Abdul B. wurde am Sonntag bei einem Polizeieinsatz erschossen.
Eine BestÀtigung der Behörden gibt es bislang nicht. Die Bundesanwaltschaft bestÀtigte lediglich, dass eine Person tot ist. Ob es sich dabei um Abdul B. handelt, wollte die Behörde nicht sagen. Die Nachrichtenagentur dpa bestÀtigte unter Berufung auf die Senatsinnenverwaltung, dass der TatverdÀchtiger getötet wurde.
The structural reason attribution stays murky is itself worth naming because the „Islamic Resistance in Iraq“ is not a single group but an umbrella of interchangeable front names, staffed largely by Kataib Hezbollah personnel, under which the harder-line factions operate. Attacks surface under disposable labels while the parent organizations issue denials, distributing deniability by design. In that framework, the absence of a claim is not evidence of an outside hand; it is the system working as intended.
Which leaves open a possibility that neither the proxy-signal nor the internal-defiance reading captures: that the strikes serve simply to manufacture instability in a region whose neutrality makes it a soft and symbolically useful target. When drones are intercepted over the cities, their debris cleared and their intended target never confirmed, even the object of the attack becomes a matter of inference.

Pakistan deployed the HQ-9 battery to Saudi Arabia in May 2026 under the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, according to the Times of Islamabad and The Daily Star. The system is operated exclusively by Pakistani military personnel â not Saudi or American crews â and functions as a standalone package integrated with Pakistanâs own command-and-control architecture rather than with Saudi Arabiaâs existing air defense network, according to Defence Security Asia reporting from May 2026. The Jerusalem Post noted that Pakistan âdeploys the defenses as part of a package because of their interoperability with other Pakistani systems,â a formulation that carries an embedded concession: the HQ-9 is not interoperable with anything else at the base.

The HQ-9 familyâs combat record is now the most extensively documented peacetime marketing success that has failed every wartime test it has faced. During Operation Sindoor in May 2025, Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighters launched two BrahMos-A air-launched cruise missiles at Pakistanâs Nur Khan Airbase near Rawalpindi, and Pakistan fired approximately 18 HQ-9B interceptors in response, according to Indian Defence Research Wing. The result was zero confirmed intercepts â both BrahMos missiles struck their targets, an 0-for-18 record that prompted Brandon J. Weichert, national security writer at The National Interest, to call the system âa Frankensteinâs Monsterâ reverse-engineered from Russian S-300 technology.
Iranian officials have asked Yemenâs Houthis to block the Red Sea if the U.S. carries out strikes on Tehranâs energy sites, according to Reuters.
Two senior Iranian sources and a regional source familiar with the matter reportedly told the outlet that the Houthis had been informed of the request, which was discussed within the Islamic Republicâs leadership.

His last public appearance was on February 8, mere weeks before he was reportedly missing after the deaths of Khamenei and other Revolutionary Guards officials during Operation Epic Fury on February 28.

The fate of General Vahidi, who disappeared before the February 28 operation that killed Ayatollah Khamenei and many senior Revolutionary Guard officials, including former commander Mohammad Pakpour, had long been a subject of debate. Vahidi, attending Khamenei‘s funeral ceremony held ahead of the 40-day national mourning period starting this weekend, was captured by Iranian state media cameras mourning at the side of the coffin.
Oil prices rose, and stock markets dropped in shaky trading worldwide Wednesday after President Donald Trump raised doubts about the temporary truce in the war with Iran.
The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.1% after Trump said the agreement to pause fighting was âover,â but the index then trimmed its loss to 0.3% after Trump said the most recent exchange of fire with the Islamic Republic did not herald a return to full-scale war. Theyâre his latest mixed messages on what will happen with the war, which threatens to worsen inflation for the world.
This comes as Trump meets world leaders at the NATO summit in Turkey, where the Strait of Hormuz is expected to be a key topic.

The fear that Israel is actually quite close to such a postponement cuts across much of Israeli society. Iâve heard it expressed by secular liberals, military veterans, former intelligence officials, legal scholars, journalists, centrist politicians, and even some conservatives who once supported Netanyahu enthusiastically. What unites them is the growing belief that Netanyahu now considers remaining in power to be an existential necessity â and that his radical base will back him no matter what outrage he attempts.

The US president says he was asked by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan âto hold off on our planned Military attackâ on Iran, âwhich was scheduled for tomorrowâ.
Trump said the Gulf leaders had noted âthat serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyondâ.
âThis Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!â he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Zusammenfassung zur Situation um den drohenden neuen Krieg im achtzehnjÀhrigen Terrorkrieg, diesmal gegen den Iran.
Schon bevor die heute existierende internationale Kriegskoalition von Singapur bis Saudi-Arabien (âInternationale Allianz gegen den Islamischen Staatâ, oder âAnti-I.S.-Allianz) im September 2014 auf dem N.A.T.O.-Gipfel in Wales gegrĂŒndet wurde, warnte Radio Utopie vor einem Terrorkrieg 2.0 und vor ânoch mehr Eroberungen islamischer Staaten, wegen dem âIslamischen Staatââ.
Damals forderte der damalige U.S.-AuĂenminister von Trumps VorgĂ€nger Barack Obama, John Kerry, am 29. August 2014 eine âglobale Koalitionâ gegen den âIslamischen Staatâ.
Gestern nun forderte Trumps AuĂenminister Mike Pompeo eine âglobale Koalitionâ gegen den islamischen Staat Iran, passenderweise vorgetragen bei einem Blitzbesuch Pompeos in Saudi-Arabien.
Als vor dreieinhalb Jahren Pazifisten, Sozialdemokraten und politische Linke in Deutschland der Entsendung der staatlichen Luftwaffe in die Kriege im Irak und Syrien tatenlos zusahen, warnten wir bereits vor deren moralisch-politischem Zusammenbruch und Kapitulation. Die genau zu diesem Zweck exekutierte psychologische KriegfĂŒhrung gegen die Bevölkerung setzt sich bis heute praktisch ohne Widerstand politisch links stehender KrĂ€fte fort. Die Logik des Terrorkrieges (Behauptungen von Behörden / AutoritĂ€ten darf nicht widersprochen und muss alles abgekauft werden) wird von den Betreffenden weiter willig geschluckt.

Auf dem Gipfel des Nordatlantikpakts in Wales wird es weniger um Russland als um die Frage gehen, mit welcher schwachsinnigen Ausrede nun die N.A.T.O. den am 4. Oktober 2001 ausgerufenen âkollektiven Verteidigungsfallâ aufrechterhalten will.
Eine Option: Noch mehr Eroberungen islamischer Staaten, wegen dem âIslamischen Staatâ.

The cargo ship, operated by South Korea‘s Hyundai Merchant Marine(HMM), was anchored outside port limits of the United Arab Emirates‘ Umm al Quwain in the strait, carrying six South Korean and 18 foreign nationals at the time of the incident.
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said earlier that the vessel is presumed to have been attacked.
A Foreign Ministry official said the ministryâs consular bureau was checking whether the vessel had been attacked.

The video of Steven Sotloff‘s apparent murder appears to have been found by a private US intelligence firm before it could be released by the Islamic State.
News of Mr Sotloff‘s death was broken by the SITE Intelligence group, a private company that monitors jihadist activity and has close ties to the American intelligence community.
The group‘s analysts found the video on what a spokesman described as „a file-sharing site“ and send it out to its subscriber list. SITE‘s subscribers include government officials, journalists and academics involved in analysing terrorism.

The al-Qaeda video aired on Sept. 7 attracted international attention as the first new video message from the group‘s leader in three years. In it, a dark-bearded bin Laden urges Americans to convert to Islam and predicts failure for the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video was aired on hundreds of Western news Web sites nearly a full day before its release by a distribution company linked to al-Qaeda.
Computer logs and records reviewed by The Washington Post support SITE‘s claim that it snatched the video from al-Qaeda days beforehand. Katz requested that the precise date and details of the acquisition not be made public, saying such disclosures could reveal sensitive details about the company‘s methods.

Israeli leaders believed that Hamas was more interested in governing than fighting. By the time the agents discovered the ledgers in 2018, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was encouraging the government of Qatar to deliver millions of dollars to the Gaza Strip. He gambled that the money would buy stability and peace.
Mr. Levy recalled briefing Mr. Netanyahu personally in 2015 about the Hamas portfolio.

Maryam Younnes was only five years old when she fled her home in Dibil in southern Lebanon, leaving behind her grandmother and cousins, unable to legally see or speak to them again.
Maryamâs father, Elias, was a commander in the South Lebanon Army (SLA). He defended the countryâs sovereignty against the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which used the territory to launch attacks against Israel and brutalize local populations.
âWe were in no manâs land. No one helped us. No one looked after us, just like whatâs going on right now.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s request to delay testifying in his criminal trial was accepted by judges on Sunday due to „security and political“ reasons related to „the dramatic events that have occurred in the State of Israel and throughout the Middle East in recent times,“ according to a letter sent to judges.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s long-running corruption trial âwill resume on Sunday, the courts‘ spokesperson said on Thursday, hours after Israel lifted a state of emergency imposed over its war with Iran.

âThe war has now entered its fifth year, and its effects occasionally spill across borders. Today, not for the first time, also into Estonia. What is important is that Estonia was not the target of the attack,â emphasised Prime Minister Kristen Michal. âThese are large-scale Ukrainian counter-attacks against the aggression of Russia, targeting the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk. These are the ports through which Russia exports energy resources, providing Putin with funds to wage war, undermine the independence of European and other countries, conduct war against Ukraine, and kill people. The attacks today occurred in three waves, and some of the drones which were used in the attack reached here.
(…)
Early this morning at 3.43 a.m., a drone struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant. No people were injured. Based on current information, the drone was not directed at Estonia but deviated here from its intended trajectory. Later, at around 8.30 a.m., another aerial object crossed Lake Peipus into Estonia, triggering the hazard alert system.

Estonia‘s Internal Security Service said a drone entered the country from Russia and slammed into the chimney of a power station, while Latvia‘s armed forces reported a drone crashing onto the country‘s territory without causing any damage.
Latvian President Edgars RinkÄviÄs said the drone was Ukrainian. Estonian officials said the the stray drones entered from Russian air space „during a Ukrainian counterattack.“
JERUSALEMâThe Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel was the greatest security failure of Benjamin Netanyahuâs career. Less than three years later, the Israeli prime minister is pursuing what may become his defining strategic achievement: toppling the Islamic Republic of Iran.
