The location at an overview
Israel is promoting attacks in Iran – chance for diplomacy?
The war between Israel and Iran continues. Trump calls on the residents of Tehran to flee. Does the tour there be under the pressure there and gets involved in conversations?
Iran has again fired rockets on Israel. State broadcasting spoke of a “rocket rain” to goals in Israel. The Israeli army announced that air defense was in use to ward off the threat. The population was again instructed to seek the shelters, the Israeli military said in the morning. According to the “Times of Israel”, strong explosions could be heard in the area of the city of Jerusalem. In the meantime, people can leave the shelters.
The Air Force had previously flown “comprehensive” attacks on military destinations in the west of Iran at night, as the Israeli army announced. There were dozens of deposits and launching systems for floor-floor missiles as well as floor-air rocket launchers and drone warehouse, it was said.
Washington rejected reports on an alleged entry into the war of the Israel allied USA as “wrong” at night. US President Donald Trump had previously asked the inhabitants of the Iranian capital Tehran to flee. “Everyone should leave Tehran immediately,” Trump wrote Truth on Truth Social and fueled fears. After that, he left the G7 summit in Canada prematurely, but had previously indicated that Iran was ready for negotiations.
Trump: Iran wants a deal
“An agreement will be signed and I think Iran is stupid if he doesn’t sign it,” said Trump. Otherwise something will happen, he pushed after without becoming more specific. “You want to make a deal, and as soon as I am gone, we will do something.” The White House discussed with Iran about the possibility of a meeting this week between the US emissary Steve Witkoff and the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi, reported the US news page “Axios” in the morning, citing four sources familiar with the matter.
Meanwhile, the G7 bosses unexpectedly agreed on a joint explanation of the war. In the text, Iran is referred to as “the main source of regional instability and terror” and Israel emphasizes the right to self -defense. It was always unequivocally clarified that Iran should never get into the possession of a nuclear weapon.
Araghtschi sees the key to the end of the war at Trump. “A call from Washington is enough to ban someone like (the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.
People flee from Tehran
It remained unclear what the motivation for Trump’s call for evacuation was to the population of Tehran. Since the weekend there have been reports of long traffic jams on default roads because many of the 15 million inhabitants of the metropolis flee from worry from an even larger escalation. According to Iranian reports, there were serious explosions and defensive fire in the night in the night in the area of the capital. Previously, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu had called for the residents of Tehran to flee.
“We tell the citizens of Tehrans:” Leave the area! ” – and we act,” said Netanyahu. Israel had initially called for a district to evacuate. Shortly afterwards, the main building of a state broadcaster was hit there. According to the broadcaster, there were dead and injured. Since the start of the attacks on Friday night, Israel has striked the Iran’s power apparatus. Netanyahu now does not seem to rule out a targeted killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ajatollah Ali Chamenei.
Netanyahu: killing of Chameneis could end conflict
“This will not let the conflict escalate, that will end the conflict,” Netanyahu said in the interview of the US broadcaster ABC when asked whether he shares the concern of the US government that a killing ice cream could have the conflict out of control. When it comes to the direct question of whether Israel is planning to kill Chameni, he said: “We do what we have to do. I will not discuss any details.” At the weekend there were reports that US President Trump has been appealing against Israeli plans for the killing of the Iranian head of state in the past few days.
According to an Israeli military spokesman, Israel has now reached the “full air superiority” over Tehran. Some of the rocket attacks from Iran had been thwarted by Israeli air raids. A spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced the state news agency Irna at night that a new wave of attacks on the arch enemy Israel would be “continued” until morning.
According to Israeli media reports, however, only less than ten that were intercepted above the coastal metropolis Tel Aviv and the city of Haifa. There were no reports on impacts or injuries. In the morning, the Islamic Republic fired rockets on Israel again.
Israeli refinery out of operation after attack
After an Iranian rocket attack on Sunday on an important refinery in Haifa, the operator has reportedly shut down all the facilities of the company. According to Israeli media, the Israeli oil and petrochemical company Bazan said. How long the largest refinery in the country will remain out of service has not been reported. The refinery produces a large part of the civilian and military oil products of Israel.
The US military supports Israel’s defense. At the same time, the US government emphasizes that it does not participate in the fighting between Israel and Iran. The US troops in the Middle East continued to stick to defend themselves if necessary, a Pentagon spokesman emphasized on X. Shortly before, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth had declared that he had ordered the military presence in the region to protect his own troops in the Middle East at the weekend. He did not give details.
USA increases military presence in the Middle East
According to matching media reports, the US military sends a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East. In addition, the United States is said to have moved dozens of tanker aircraft to Europe at the weekend in order to be able to use it quickly in the Middle East if necessary. Protecting your own troops in the Middle East region has priority, it is said.
France President Emmanuel Macron expressed a positive statement on the end of the war on the edge of the G7 summit. If the United States could achieve a ceasefire, it is a very good thing. Macron did not give details of the US efforts. He only said Trump said that talks were going. An offer for an armistice and for talks was made.
“Iran must not own a nuclear weapon”
According to the attacks, Israel wants to prevent Iran from building an atomic bomb. The leadership in Tehran, on the other hand, emphasizes that the nuclear program serves civil purposes. In his post on Truth Social, US President Trump wrote that Tehran should have signed the agreement proposed by him in the dispute over the Iranian nuclear program. That is a “waste of human life”. In capital letters, he added: “Iran is not allowed to have any nuclear weapon.”
Several Arab states and Turkey condemned the attacks of Israel to Iran. It is essential that “Israel’s hostility to Iran is hired”, according to a joint explanation. The goal must be a “comprehensive fire break”. It is urgently needed to make the Middle East an area without nuclear weapons and without other weapons of mass destruction. This must be “without exception for all countries in the region in accordance with the relevant international resolutions”.
