CNN (citing Israeli officials):

According to Israeli officials cited by CNN, Israel launched its operation against Iran without a firm US commitment to join.

They believed that early military successes might entice Trump into military involvement.

However, the pace of Israeli success is slowing, and officials warn that this increases the risk of a miscalculation.

They acknowledged that Israel cannot eliminate all of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

YEDIOTH AHRONOTH: The Israeli newspaper reported that Iran had planned to manufacture dozens of long-range ballistic missiles monthly, with the goal of producing 11,000 in a decade, along with launch platforms. Despite losses, Iran still possesses significant launch and air defense capabilities. Israeli security officials fear a prolonged war of attrition with Iran in the absence of a diplomatic path.

US PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP:

Trump said talks with Iran might happen soon, emphasizing that Iran wants to negotiate with the US, not Europe.

He claimed Iran was weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

“I can’t make a decision now,” Trump said, adding, “Iran is the one suffering, and I don’t know how to stop the fighting.”

He praised Israel’s military performance and said it would be hard to ask them to stop airstrikes.

He floated the idea of a ceasefire “depending on the conditions” and gave Iran a two-week deadline to “come to its senses.”

ISRAELI CHANNEL 12: An Israeli military source told Channel 12 that Israel is preparing to strike Iran’s main nuclear facility but is awaiting Washington’s decision on entering the war.

MEHR NEWS AGENCY: Iranian air defense systems reportedly intercepted small Israeli drones flying over the city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran.

PALESTINE CHRONICLE: Iran has ruled out direct nuclear negotiations with the United States unless Israel halts its ongoing military strikes against the country, Iranian officials told European mediators during high-stakes talks in Geneva, according to diplomatic sources cited by CNN.

At a closed-door meeting on Friday at the Intercontinental Hotel in Geneva, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with his counterparts from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany — the so-called E3 — along with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.

‘No Talks under Fire’: Iran Draws Red Line in Geneva Talks with E3

IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER:

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran clearly informed the European side that its missile capabilities are not open to negotiation.

He described the Geneva talks as serious and said Iran is open to a future round of discussions.

However, he stressed that no negotiations will take place while Israeli aggression continues.

EU FOREIGN MINISTERS:

In a joint statement, the EU and E3 foreign ministers reiterated long-held concerns about the expansion of Iran’s nuclear program, which they say lacks a credible civilian purpose.

They called on all parties to refrain from actions that would escalate the situation further.

CNN:

According to an Iranian source cited by CNN, Tehran has not agreed to halt uranium enrichment, calling it a clear red line.

The Geneva talks reportedly began with tension but improved after a pause.

Both the Iranian and European delegations exchanged accusations over the US withdrawal from the original nuclear deal.

FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER: France’s foreign minister reiterated that resolving Iran’s nuclear issue is only possible through dialogue. He acknowledged that military operations may disrupt Iran’s nuclear program but cannot halt it entirely.

WALL STREET JOURNAL: Citing a US official, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israel risks exhausting its supply of Arrow 3 interceptor missiles if Iran continues launching attacks. US destroyers are positioned close enough to intercept Iranian missiles, but there is growing concern over missile defense reserves after reallocations to the region.

CNN: According to a statement by the Iranian presidency spokesperson reported by CNN, Tehran has “many options” if the United States becomes directly involved in the war. He added that diplomacy could resume easily if Trump orders an end to the offensive.

AL-JAZEERA: A diplomatic source told Al Jazeera that the meeting between the Iranian foreign minister and the European side has resumed after a short pause for consultations.

IRANIAN ENVOY TO UN: Iran’s UN ambassador stated that US threats to strike Iranian nuclear facilities constitute a blatant violation of the UN Charter, and denounced Israeli and Western representatives for spreading lies to justify their crimes.

JERUSALEM POST: The Jerusalem Post cited a source confirming that the Geneva negotiations were paused briefly for internal consultations.

JERUSALEM POST: Israeli officials told the Jerusalem Post there is no indication of internal fractures within the Iranian regime one week after the Israeli attack.

IRANIAN ENVOY TO UN: The Iranian representative at the UN said Israel violated international law by attacking five hospitals, killing hundreds and injuring thousands, including medical workers and humanitarian staff.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Israeli PM Netanyahu said Iran’s nuclear ambitions must be stopped and thanked Trump for his support. He claimed Israel targets only military and nuclear facilities, while Iran targets civilians.

ISRAELI ARMY: Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said Israel destroyed about half of Iran’s missile platforms and warned of difficult days ahead, emphasizing readiness for a prolonged military campaign.

PALESTINE CHRONICLE: The Russian presidency has issued a stark warning to the United States, cautioning against the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Iran—a move Moscow described as potentially catastrophic.
