US, Israeli assets ‘legitimate targets’ after attack on Beirut: Qalibaf

In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut‘s southern suburbs.

He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.

„They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,“ Qalibaf wrote.

By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.

Irael bombardiert Beirut

Der Vergeltungsangriff ist von Netanjahu nicht nur einkalkuliert, sondern bewusst herausgefordert worden. Der Konflikt zeigt wieder, dass Israel nicht vertragsfähig ist, eben wie die USA.

Trump says he and Netanyahu on same page despite disagreements

US President Donald Trump said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are on the same page as the conflict in Iran stretches into its 100th day, despite some disagreements between the leaders over Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon.

“We get along very well,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” in a prerecorded interview that aired Sunday morning.

“We’ve been great comrades. We did a very, very big number on a certain country that was nothing but trouble for 47 years. I disagree with him on a couple of things,” Trump said.

Iran says „contradictory“ positions of US is main issue in negotiations

Speaking with CNN’s Senior International correspondent Frederik Pleitgen in Tehran Sunday, Baghaei said the exchange of messages continued through Pakistani mediators.

“The main problem of negotiating with this administration is that you have to face so many changing positions, moving the goal posts, different statements, contradictory remarks by different officials, so it makes the whole process very cumbersome,” Baghaei said.

There were quite a number of sticking points, he said, “but the main issue is that the Americans must understand that they have to recognize Iran’s rights,” including its right to peaceful nuclear enrichment under the international non-proliferation treaty.

Trump says deal with Iran is ‚very close‘

US President Donald Trump has told NBC News that a deal with Iran is „very close“.

“We have a couple of points. They don’t even seem like big points,” Trump said. “They’ve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.”

Trump says the U.S. will work with Iran to destroy its uranium if they can make a deal

(June 7, 2026, 1:00 PM GMT)

The two sides are “very close” to signing a pact, Trump said, but he is pushing for Iran to go further in abandoning its nuclear ambitions.

“We have a couple of points. They don’t even seem like big points,” he said. “They’ve conceded the fact that they will not have nuclear weapons. We had a clause in there that [they] will not develop nuclear weapons. And everybody was very happy with it except me.”

Trump said he wanted an additional provision to ensure Iran can’t execute an end run around a deal.

“And I said, ‘Well, what happens if they, not develop, but they go out and purchase, they acquire? I want to put the word, ‘if they buy, purchase or acquire,’” he said. “You know, you’ve got to have that in there, too, because that’s not developing. So, they don’t have the right to develop or purchase, acquire or buy.”

Trump’s abrupt U-turn on a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz came after backlash from allies

(May 6, 2026)

Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in Saudi Arabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said.

A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue, the two U.S. officials said, forcing the president to pause Project Freedom in order to restore U.S. military access to the critical airspace.
