Israel at War

Rights groups warn over 100 protest detainees face death sentences as Tehran presses ahead with crackdown despite Israel-US war.

With less than a day left on Trump's 48-hour deadline, the Revolutionary Guards threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz completely and bomb energy facilities across the region – as Reza Pahlavi urged strikes on the regime's repression apparatus, not civilian infrastructure.

The Turkish foreign minister conducted four separate diplomatic calls focused on halting the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States, a Turkish diplomatic source confirmed.

Sources say Majid Mousavi vanished from the front lines as casualties mounted, prompting formal complaints from soldiers' families over what they described as near-suicidal missions without command support.

While clear answers remain elusive and certain details are bound by military censorship, the IDF stressed, "The defense is not fool proof."

Israeli officials say Washington is weighing an expanded campaign to resolve the Hormuz crisis, with a senior diplomatic source saying that “even if the war ended now, Iran will not return to what it was.”

During an Israeli Air Force operational mission over Iran, a surface-to-air missile was launched at an Israeli fighter jet, which successfully evaded it. The crew acted in accordance with protocol, no damage was caused to the aircraft, and the mission was completed as planned.

The timing of the operation, if Trump orders one, remains unclear. Sources familiar with the matter told CBS that the planning is focused on a possible deployment of Joint Special Operations Command forces.
