Location at a glance: Iran indirectly threatens to death – does Gaza do -good rest come?

Iran has indirectly threatened to death Donald Trump – but at the same time signaled willingness to negotiate. The Ajatollah Nasser Makarem Schirasi did not call Trump directly by name, but pointed out in a religious statement that threats to Iran’s leader Ali Chamenei would be punished in Islam. Trump had recently said that Chamenei was an easy goal. “We won’t turn it off (kill!), At least not at the moment.” Meanwhile, Iran’s Vice Foreign Minister showed willingness to resume discussions with the United States about his nuclear program, provided Washington does without further attacks.

Ajatollah Makarem Schirasi, who is one of the influential clerics in Iran, said, according to the state news agency Irna, when asked by a believer to Trump in his office in Ghom: “People or regime who attack an Islamic rule or threaten or even threaten them against them are considered ‘Mohareb’ (enemies of God).” Therefore, it is a duty of the Muslims to hold this “enemies” into account. The legal scholar explained only Islamic principles, he did not call Trump.

Iran: USA must rule out further attacks

The US President had recently had the Iranian nuclear facilities attack on the side of Israel. At the NATO summit, he then announced new conversations with Iran for this week, but did not give any details. When asked whether he would have Iran’s nuclear facilities bombed again if there were worries about Tehran’s uranium enrichment again, Trump said on Friday: “Sure, without question, absolutely.” Iran shouldn’t have any nuclear weapons. The recent attacks have thrown the nuclear program back by years, Trump confirmed.

The United States would have to rule out further attacks on Iran if you want to resume diplomatic talks, Iran’s deputy Foreign Minister Madschid Tacht-Rawantschi told the British broadcaster BBC. The government of US President Trump informed his country about an intermediary that it wanted to return to negotiations, but referred to “a very important question” of further attacks.

Tehran insists on uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes

Iran would insist on being able to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, Tacht-Rawantschi told the BBC and rejected allegations that Iran secretly is working on the development of an atomic bomb. His country was excluded “from access to nuclear material” for his research program. “One can talk about the level, you can talk about the capacity, but to say that you shouldn’t have an enrichment, zero enrichment, and if you do not agree, we will bomb you – that is the law of the jungle,” said the deputy Iranian foreign minister.

In the meantime, Iran’s arch enemy Israel indicated a change in priorities in the war against the Islamist Hamas allied with Tehran. Israel’s attacks in Iran opened “far -reaching regional possibilities”, including the liberation of hostages in Gaza, said Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “First of all, we have to free the hostages,” he said according to the media. According to the “Times of Israel”, this was interpreted by domestic media in such a way that Netanyahu is now prioritizing the return of the hostages – especially others like victory over Hamas.

Netanyahu: First we have to free the hostages

“Of course we also have to solve the Gaza problem and defeat the Hamas, but I think we will manage both tasks,” Netanyahu was quoted. The background to his statements is that Israel is exposed to increasing pressure from the United States to reach an agreement on the end of the war, which has been going on for more than 20 months, wrote the “Times of Israel”. US President Donald Trump said that he assumed that a ceasefire could be reached this week.

According to Israeli media reports, Netanyahu headed a cabinet meeting in a headquarters of the armed forces on Sunday evening to advise on the war in the Gaza Strip and the efforts of the hostages from Hamas to advise against Palestinian prisons. The session had ended without a decision, further discussions were scheduled for today, it said.

Also today, according to information from the “Times of Israel”, Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, wants to meet US officials in Washington in order to coordinate with the USA before another round of placement talks in Cairo via a possible Gaza agreement. Dermmer would put pressure on Trump’s government to end the war in Gaza, the newspaper quoted an Arabic diplomat and a US official familiar with the matter. The United States, Egypt and Qatar act as an intermediary between Israel and Hamas.

Reports about other deaths in Gaza

For the time being, however, the war continues unabated in the sealed coastal strip. According to Palestinian information, there were dozens of deaths in Israeli attacks. The information could initially not be checked independently. Israel’s army said on request that he was investigating.

A group of relatives of the hostage meanwhile directed an online appeal to Trump and asked him in English, to do everything in his power, to get the kidnapped back. According to official Israeli information, 22 living kidnapped are recorded in Gaza. 28 others are therefore only about handing over their remains.

The war was triggered by the attack by Hamas and other Islamist terrorist organizations to Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were delayed to Gaza as hostages.
