Israeli PM Netanyahu vows 'decisive blow,' orders escalation against Iran

Vowing to deliver a "decisive blow" to Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said he has given instructions to his forces to continue to escalate their offensive over Tehran. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on Saturday in a coordinated US-Israeli airstrike on Tehran with his death confirmed on Sunday. Calling the strikes "unprovoked and illegal", Iran began firing missiles at Israel and other Gulf Arab states in retaliation for the killing of its supreme leader. Netanyahu made the statement from the roof of the Kirya, Defence Headquarters in Tel Aviv, following a meeting with the Minister of Defence Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and Director of the Mossad David Barnea. "I have given instructions for the continuation of the campaign. Yesterday, we eliminated the tyrant Khamenei. Along with him, we eliminated dozens of senior figures of the oppressive regime," the Israeli premier said. "Our forces are now striking at the hear

Trump vows to avenge US troops, says more deaths likely in Iran conflict

The US and Israel pounded targets across Iran on Sunday, dropping massive bombs on the country's ballistic missile sites and wiping out warships as part of an intensifying military campaign following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Blasts rattled windows across the country and sent plumes of smoke high into the sky above the capital city of Tehran. More than 200 people have been killed since the start of the strikes that killed Khamenei and other senior leaders, Iranian leaders have said. Iran vowed revenge, firing missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states in a counteroffensive that the US military said resulted in the deaths of three service members - the first known American casualties from the conflict. Israel's rescue services said nine people were killed and 28 wounded in a strike that hit a synagogue in the central town of Beit Shemesh, bringing the overall death toll in the country to 11. Eleven people were still missing after the strike, police ...

Trump takes US into war with Iran, testing his 'America first' doctrine

President Donald Trump has taken the United States into war with Iran despite decades of self-professed aversion to foreign entanglements, particularly in the Middle East, and repeated pledges to focus primarily on the Western Hemisphere with an "America first" agenda. Trump's predicate for joining Israel in attacks on Iran's leadership, military and critical infrastructure this weekend was that Iran posed unacceptable and imminent risks to US and allied interests. Similar arguments were made in the aftermath of Trump's action last month to remove former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power in a military strike. Yet even his closest advisers have been unable to point to any specific threat to the US from Iran that required urgent action. Trump had said a previous strike on Iran had "obliterated" its nuclear capability and the Defense Intelligence Agency said in a report last year that Iran was probably 10 years away from having a missile that could reach the US With the t

8 Opec+ nations boosts oil production amid rising tensions in West Asia

Eight countries that are part of the OPEC+ oil cartel announced Sunday they will boost production of crude as US and Israeli forces launched a major attack on Iran and the country responded with retaliatory strikes against Israel and US military installations around the Gulf, disrupting oil shipments from the region. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, in a Sunday meeting planned before the war began, said it would increase production by 206,000 barrels per day in April, which was more than analysts had been expecting. The countries boosting output include Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman. Attacks throughout the region, including on two vessels travelling through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, could restrict countries' ability to export oil to the rest of the world. That would will likely result in higher prices for crude oil and gasoline, according to energy experts. Roughly 15 ..

Security tightened after protests in parts of Delhi over Khamenei's killing

Security was heightened across several parts of the national capital following protests and gatherings held to mourn the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, police said on Sunday. Additional police personnel were deployed in sensitive areas, particularly around diplomatic missions and localities with significant Shia populations as a precautionary measure.
