  • Trump says US has begun ‘major combat operations’ in Iran after Israel launches strikes - live

    Jump

  • Israel’s military spokesman said Israeli forces had killed several top Iranian defense officials this morning. They included Iran’s defense minister, Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh; the head of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, Gen. Mohammad Pakpour; and a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Shamkhani. The spokesman, Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, said nothing about Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

  • A central goal of the first joint wave of strikes in Iran was to hit as many leaders as possible, according to three Israeli security officials familiar with the operations.

    The officials said that, similar to the previous strikes in June last year, planners took into account that they would manage to achieve at least some degree of surprise. They calculated that if they wanted to kill senior Iranian officials, they had to try and hit them in the first round of strikes. Afterward, it is highly likely that more precautions would be taken to protect the leadership.

    Videos verified by The New York Times show strikes in an area of Tehran that houses the presidential palace and Iran’s National Security Council, among other important government buildings. Another video shows a strike near Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence.

  • In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump has told the Islamic Revolutionary Guard to lay down their arms, saying “You will be treated fairly with total immunity or you will face certain death.”

    Trump has accused Iran of developing long range missiles that threaten the US and others.

    He said the US will “raze their missile industry to the ground” and “annihilate their navy”.

  • Reports are emerging that the US is involved in Israel’s strikes on Iran’s capital.

    Associated Press reported that a US official and a person familiar with the operation said the US is participating in the Israeli strikes. They spoke on condition of anonymity, AP said.

    Reuters has also cited an unnamed Israeli defence official as saying the Israeli operation in Iran was coordinated with the US.

    The Guardian has been unable to confirm this.

  • Explainer: How Russia uses false allegations to sabotage Ukraine peace talks

  • The lines are pretty frozen at this point but the issue isn't that Russia doesn't want to negotiate. They are suing for peace but they're negotiating in bad faith and then inventing crises to derail the process they're pretending to participate in.

  • Had this one in the hopper to read all week and just finally got around to it. What an incredible read. Thanks for sharing it, HellsBelle.

    Whatever else you can say about Biden, the effort to bring attention to this and herd European cats was really historic in a way that I think few will probably ever appreciate. It's also so wild that the closer anyone was to the center of conflict, the less likely they were to believe war could happen. And to such a degree that one group is planning meetings while the other is evacuating from Kyiv.

    The entire piece is such a fascinating read.
