We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners can’t strike us to drag us back into the fight.
Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iran’s terms.
Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

Two years of war between Israel and Hamas have left the main city of the Gaza Strip all but destroyed.
Drone footage captured on Wednesday shows entire neighborhoods in Gaza City reduced to rubble.
Streets are unrecognizable and once-bustling markets are now just twisted metal and concrete.

84% of health facilities have been affected by attacks.
Nowhere is safe.

A report relied on by the prosecution at Friday’s sentencing hearing said the raid on the factory had caused £1.2m of damage, including to 41 military assets. The report referred to £395,056 of damage to six units in an unnamed drone system as well as damage to other unmanned aerial vehicles.
Mr Justice Johnson told the four they had participated in a “carefully planned and highly sophisticated attack”, adding: “The fact that you were trying to shut down a company that you thought was acting unlawfully does not reduce the seriousness of the offence.”
EU foreign ministers have failed to agree on sanctions against Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says.
“Many member states have also proposed to sanction Minister Ben-Gvir, but no consensus on that was reached,” Kallas said.
Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Several reports are circulating that Israel struck the Beirut‘s southern suburbs, following calls from prominent Israeli officials on attacking the area.
Lebanon‘s Health Ministry said the cumulative toll from Israeli attacks between March 2 and June 13 has risen to 3,756 people killed and 11,632 wounded.
The figures were released by the ministry‘s Public Health Emergency Operations Center, which said the numbers reflect the overall casualties recorded during the period.

You are an idiot. And you‘re not alone with that. Even a small group of people out of the eight billion people on Earth could have stopped the West Asia War; the onslaught in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and even in Israel. But not a single parliament, lawmaker, NGO, journalist, or whatever-movement on Earth, not even the Good Guys, have been digging into the core of the issue; of what really happened.
And I can prove it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Donald Trump Thursday evening after the US president’s post on social media claiming that Israel supported a potential impending agreement with Iran.
In a readout of the call from the prime minister’s office, Netanyahu “expressed his appreciation” to Trump for his commitment that a final agreement with Iran would remove Tehran’s enriched uranium, dismantle its nuclear infrastructure, limit its missile production and halt its support for regional proxies.

„Just as we witnessed the liberation of Damascus, Aleppo, and Karabakh, God willing, one day we will also witness the liberation of Jerusalem,“ Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said during a speech at a conference.
„Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again,“ Ciftci vowed, and said, „God willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more.“
„Because we have a global leader like Recep Tayyip Erdogan at our helm,“ he said. „A world leader.“

„Türkiye‘s security begins not in Hatay, but in Aleppo, Damascus and Beirut. Neither will we tolerate any faits accompli in our brothers‘ countries, nor will we turn a blind eye to aggression,“ he said, stressing that the country‘s security extends beyond its borders.
President Erdogan also referred to what he described as Israelis’ „delusion of the Promised Land,“ saying Türkiye was fully aware of its ultimate objective.
„By the will of God, we will never allow this,“ he said.
Some of the Palestinian refugee camps are densely populated. About 28,000 Palestinian refugees live in Tyre, according to the UN, and only about one-third have left since the displacement threat was issued.
The Israelis are trying to make it seem as if they’ve given everyone enough warning to safely flee, but the Geneva Convention requires that evacuation routes are safe, that people are given enough time, and that a return route is provided so the occupation does not continue.
Israeli military activities in southern Lebanon do not meet those requirements.
Hezbollah has issued a statement claiming to have shot down an Israeli drone over the Nahle area in the Bekaa Valley.
Lebanon’s National News Agency also reported an Israeli drone being downed in the area, where it said several Israeli air raids had occurred.
Additional airstrikes hit the area between Deir Qanoun Al Nahr and Abbassiyeh, while the town of Toura was also targeted. Israeli warplanes later carried out a separate strike on Abbassiyeh.
According to local reports, Israeli forces attempted to advance from the Tayr Harfa–Jebbayn axis toward a nearby valley in what appeared to be a move toward the town. The operation coincided with more than 15 airstrikes on Majdal Zoun and Wadi Hassan, as well as intense artillery shelling.
Clashes were reported between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters, involving rocket fire and an explosive drone. The fighting reportedly continued into the night before Israeli forces withdrew from the area.
At least 3,711 people have been killed and 11,483 injured since Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon on March 2, according to figures released by Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health.
Netanyahu has faced a tumultuous term since returning to power in December 2022 at the helm of the most right-wing coalition in Israeli history. He faced mass anti-government protests before the wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Polls have repeatedly indicated that his coalition would fail to win a majority at the next election. A poll published by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute think tank on June 9 said that 61% of the Israeli public believe he should not run.
„I don‘t know,“ Trump said when questioned about whether Netanyahu would lead Israel’s upcoming election. „He‘s had an incredible career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he‘s a wartime prime minister. We‘re going to win this war very soon, one way or another, and he‘s a wartime prime minister.“
Trump explicitly framed the long-serving Israeli leader‘s future as uncertain, signaling that Washington may already be preparing for a post-Netanyahu political landscape. „It‘s an open question whether Netanyahu will run again,“ Trump remarked to reporters. „I wonder if Bibi even wants to continue.
