Footage once again of the statement by President Trump:

Footage reported to show an Israeli “Iron Dome” Surface-to-Air Missile Battery on the move tonight near Silwad in the West Bank, with several Israeli sources reporting the increased movement of air-defense systems near strategic sites throughout Israel.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has released a statement tonight announcing that roughly two-dozen of its members, Palestinians working with the United States to deliver humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, were attacked last night by Hamas. When the attack occurred, the group were on their way to an aid site near Khan Yunis. At least five are believed to have been killed, while fears are that others have been taken hostage, with the attack following days of threats by Hamas.

According to CBS News, U.S. officials have been told Israel is now “fully ready” to launch an operation into Iran, with this being a primary reason for the announced evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and General Consulate in Erbil, as well as the departure of military dependents from the Middle East. U.S. officials are concerned that Iran could launch attacks against U.S. bases and assets in the region in response to a strike against its nuclear facilities by Israel.

Sources familiar with U.S. assessments and intelligence said that there was some evidence that Iranian-backed paramilitary groups in Iraq, who were recently provided ballistic missiles and additional precision-munitions by Iran, as well as other militia groups in the region, were preparing to attack U.S. bases and interests in the Middle East, according to Al Arabiya.

It is currently 4:15am in Tehran, with the sun set to rise in about 30 minutes at around 4:45am. Just because Israel is now ready to strike Iran doesn’t mean it will happen tonight. I expect we have at least 24–48 hours until any kind of military action, which will allow enough time for diplomats and military dependents alike to depart from certain areas in the region, while also allowing the U.S. to bring additional defensive and offensive assets into the Middle East.

According to the New York Times, Iranian military and government officials have already met to discuss their response to a potential strike by Israel, with plans involving an immediate counterstrike on Israel utilizing hundreds of long-range ballistic missiles, similar to their attack against Israel in October 2024.

The Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen have announced they are at a heightened state of readiness in preparation for any attack from Israel or the United States against themselves or Iran, stating, “We are in a state of constant readiness and are working to escalate our operations against the usurping entity [Israel], against the backdrop of the escalating massacres in Gaza and the worsening humanitarian situation there,” adding that, “Any escalation against the Islamic Republic of Iran is also dangerous and will drag the entire region into the abyss of war.”

As of now, U.S. Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is still planning to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Muscat on Sunday, where they will discuss Iran’s refusal and response to the nuclear deal which was delivered to them via Oman in late May.

Israel appears to be preparing to launch an attack soon on Iran, according to officials in the United States and Europe. -NYT

A Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner being operated as Air India AI171 crashed into a residential housing block this morning during takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, India. At the time of the crash, the aircraft contained 242 passengers and crew, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 were British nationals, 7 Portuguese nationals, and a Canadian. The housing complex which the aircraft impacted was being used as a hostel for at least 200 local doctors, with total casualties still not yet known by authorities in India.

Authorities believe there are no survivors from this morning’s crash of an Air India 787-8 Dreamliner in Ahmedabad, making this the second deadliest aviation disaster in the history of India.

Air India has opened a hotline for the relatives of people believed to be onboard Air India Flight 171:

- International: +91 8062779200
- Inside India: 1800 5691 444

The U.S. Embassy in Israel has restricted the travel of diplomatic staff and their family members to the areas of Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, and Be’er Sheva, due to “heightened regional tensions” with Iran. Similar actions were taken the Embassy prior to both attacks by Iran against Israel in 2024.

Additionally, the U.S. Embassy reminds Americans in Israel to remain vigilant and maintain a high level of personal security awareness. Be prepared by knowing the location of the nearest shelter in case of a red alert. Security incidents — including mortar, rocket, and missile attacks, as well as unmanned aircraft system (UAS) intrusions — can occur without warning. The situation remains complex and may change rapidly in the coming days.

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors voted this morning in favor of a resolution which finds Iran in violation of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations, the first resolution passed by the IAEA against Iran in over 20 years, since 2005. The resolution, which was put forward by the United States, Britain, France and Germany, passed easily, by a vote in favor by 19 of the 35 countries on the Board of Governors, with the only countries to vote against the resolution being Russia, China, and Burkina Faso.

Following this morning’s resolution by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which found Iran in violation of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations, Iran has now stated it will reconsider its cooperation with the IAEA as well as a potential withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

Two survivors from today’s crash of Air India Flight 171 have reportedly been found.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) have announced in a joint statement the construction of a new uranium enrichment facility “in a secure location” as well as “other measures” which are being planned by the AEOI. This announcement comes in response to today’s resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which found Iran officially in violation of its nuclear commitments for the first time since 2005.
