Hogere opening lijkt hoogstwaarschijnlijk, te midden van grote onzekerheid. De vraag is hoe Iran gaat reageren. Sluit Teheran bijvoorbeeld de Straat van Hormuz?

De Amerikaanse president sprak van een ‘spectaculair succes’. Met het offensief mengen de Verenigde Staten zich rechtstreeks in de oorlog tussen Israël en Iran.

LONDON: Seven men were arrested on suspicion of assault after an “altercation” on Friday outside Iran’s embassy in London left two men injured, police said. London’s Metropolitan Police banned protesters from gathering in the area in west London after seven men were arrested “on suspicion of grievous bodily harm”. The Met said two people had been treated at the scene and taken to hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening. The fighting was thought to have broken out within the protesting group. Protesters opposing Iran’s clerical leadership had gathered outside the embassy in west London since Sunday, hanging up flags from the nation’s ousted monarchy alongside some Israeli flags. They support the exiled Reza Pahlavi, son of the ousted shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s pro-Western monarchy toppled by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Israelis caught overseas by the escalating conflict in Iran are looking for every possible way to return home, even at exorbitant prices, even by unconventional routes, and even on foot. Luckily, Israel has peace agreements with some of its neighbors

Amid Israeli strikes on Iran and U.S. contemplations on whether to join the offensive, the foreign ministers of the U.K., France and Germany met their Iranian counterpart, who they say expressed willingness to continue nuclear talks

A second special flight operated by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has successfully brought back Pakistani nationals who were stranded in Iran, arriving safely in Lahore from Baku, Azerbaijan.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that Tehran has received multiple “serious” US messages requesting negotiations, but Iran has “nothing to say” to Washington due to its role as a “partner in the crimes” committed alongside Israel.

Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear installations so far pose only limited risks of contamination, experts say. But they warn that any attack on the country’s nuclear power station at Bushehr could cause a nuclear disaster. Israel says it is determined to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities in its military campaign, but that it also wants to avoid any nuclear disaster in a region that is home to tens of millions of people and produces much of the world’s oil. Fears of catastrophe rippled through the Gulf on Thursday when the Israeli military said it had struck a site in Bushehr on the Gulf coast — home to Iran’s only nuclear power station — only to say later that the announcement was a mistake. What has Israel hit so far? Israel has announced attacks on nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, Arak and Tehran itself. Israel says it aims to stop Iran from building an atomic bomb. Iran denies ever seeking one. The international nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has reported damage to the uran...

WASHINGTON: The prospect of a US strike against Iran has exposed divisions in the coalition of supporters that brought President Donald Trump to power, with some of his base urging him not to get the country involved in a new Middle East war. Some of Trump’s most prominent Republican allies, including top lieutenant Steve Bannon, have found themselves in the unusual position of being at odds with a president who largely shares their isolationist tendencies. Bannon, one of many influential voices from Trump’s “America First” coalition, on Wednesday urged caution about the US military joining Israel in trying to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme in the absence of a diplomatic deal. “We can’t do this again,” Bannon told reporters at an event sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington. “We’ll tear the country apart. We can’t have another Iraq.” Bannon continued to preach patience on his popular “War Room” podcast on Thursday, contending that Trump was being set up to be responsible for toppling the I...

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan yesterday said that Iran has the right to self-defence under UN Charter amid Israeli aggression.

Even if the prime minister's decision to attack Iran was the right one, it's too soon to say whether it will pay off ■ The attack was only launched after four preconditions were met, but that doesn't stop Bibi from accusing others of delaying it ■ It's official: Sara Netanyahu is now a 'lioness'

The U.S. President said there may be a "substantial chance" for negotiations with Iran, following reports that his Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, has held several calls with Iran's foreign minister since the Israel-Iran conflict began

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump bepaalt "binnen de komende twee weken" of hij zich met de oorlog tussen Iran en Israël gaat bemoeien. Of het dan over een directe aanval op Iran gaat, is nog onduidelijk.

Roughly one month ago, from the stage at an investment forum in Saudi Arabia, US President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran that would prove prophetic. “We’ll never allow America and its allies to be threatened with terrorism or nuclear attack,” Trump told the crowd, sending a message to the leadership in Tehran. “The time is right now for them to choose. Right now. We don’t have a lot of time to wait. Things are happening at a very fast pace.” That May 13 ultimatum received little attention at the time. But behind the scenes, the president already knew an attack on Iran could be imminent — and that there might be little he could do to stop it, according to two US officials. By mid-May, the Pentagon had begun drawing up detailed contingency plans to aid Israel if it followed through on its long-held ambition to strike Iran’s nuclear programme, the officials said. And the US had already diverted thousands of defensive weapons away from war-torn Ukraine toward the Middle East in preparation for potential c...
