Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a defiant televised address warning the United States against any military intervention, vowing “serious irreparable consequences” in response to aggression. He firmly rejected the idea of an imposed war or peace and emphasised Iran’s refusal to yield under pressure. This address came as Israel claimed it had struck 40 sites across Iran, including critical centrifuge and weapons production facilities. Iran responded with a swarm of drones and hypersonic missiles targeting Israel, marking the sixth consecutive day of escalating hostilities between the two nations. Meanwhile, Iranian airspace remained volatile, with flight cancellations extended and explosions reported near Tehran's Payam airport.
As tensions rise, international reactions are intensifying. Germany’s foreign minister urged Iran to return to nuclear talks, emphasising that it’s never too late to negotiate if approached with sincerity, while Jordan condemned Israeli strikes as violations of international law. On the ground, Gaza continues to suffer, with over 140 Palestinians killed in 24 hours, according to health officials. Russia also expressed concern, with President Putin offering to mediate the Iran-Israel crisis. Meanwhile, in the UK, a new poll revealed that a majority of citizens oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza and support enforcing the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
