French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Saturday that France, along with Europe, is prepared to secure safe food distribution in Gaza.

Amid growing criticism over civilian deaths near Israeli-controlled aid centers, Barrot said the initiative would also ease Israeli concerns that armed groups like Hamas are seizing relief supplies.

He condemned the killing of “500 people who came for humanitarian aid.” Israeli newspaper Haaretz had reported that military commanders ordered troops to fire on Palestinians collecting food. Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed the claim as “a blood libel.”

Speaking at a funeral ceremony for Iranian martyrs, the IRGC spokesman declared, “Today is a historic, decisive day for Iran. This mass gathering sends a message of strength to our enemies—a powerful display of national unity, honor, and resistance.”

Addressing Trump directly, he added, “We advise him to open his eyes and stop his irrational statements and erratic behavior.”

He further claimed, “The devastating defeat Israel suffered in 12 days has unhinged Trump, who is now responding hysterically.” Quoting Iran’s Supreme Leader, he said, “Trump utters words too big for his mouth to contain.”

Former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Israeli prosecutors, saying, “America spends billions more every year protecting and supporting Israel than any other country. What these uncontrolled prosecutors are doing to Netanyahu is madness, and we will not tolerate it.”

Trump argued that the legal proceedings against Prime Minister Netanyahu were obstructing critical negotiations with Hamas and Iran. He claimed Netanyahu was working toward a truce and expressed hope that a ceasefire could be reached soon.

Notably, Netanyahu had requested a two-week suspension of witness testimony in his domestic corruption trial, but the court denied the plea.

During the recent conflict, the U.S. deployed its advanced THAAD missile defense system to protect Israel from Iranian missile attacks. Military Watch reported that 60–80 interceptors were launched, each costing $12–15 million, amounting to an estimated $810 million to $1.215 billion in total expenses.

The Wall Street Journal noted that the U.S. replenished Israel’s THAAD stockpile in 2024. The system, originally designed to counter threats from countries like Iran and North Korea, saw 15–20% of its arsenal depleted in just 12 days of fighting—a quantity that could take years to rebuild.

Yerevan, Armenia – Iran's Ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, has claimed that during the recent Israel-Iran conflict, some missiles and micro aerial vehicles used against Iran entered via neighboring countries.

He stated that President Raisi has requested Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to investigate the matter seriously. “We are waiting for the investigation results. If confirmed, Iran will respond accordingly,” Sobhani added.

He further noted that Azerbaijan has assured Iran it would never allow its territory to be used for hostile operations. “The Israeli regime respects no laws; they are capable of any abuse,” he warned.

Tehran, Iran – According to Ali Akbar Dareini, a senior researcher at Iran’s Center for Strategic Studies, both the United States and Israel have failed to achieve their objectives concerning Iran. Dareini stated that former U.S. President Donald Trump aimed to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and force Iran to the negotiating table. “Trump wanted to portray Iran as weakened and left with no choice but to surrender to American demands,” he said.

He also noted that Israel sought to destabilize Iran, destroy its nuclear infrastructure, and bring down its leadership—none of which materialized. Dareini criticized the U.S. for squandering previous diplomatic opportunities through aggression and remarked, “Trump, who claimed to be a president of peace, has proven himself to be a president of war.”

Regarding Israel, he added, “Netanyahu’s military aggression has cost him the support of some Western allies.”

A massive funeral procession was held in Tehran on Saturday morning for more than 60 Iranians killed in recent Israeli attacks. The mourners included high-ranking military officials, nuclear scientists, journalists, and many civilians including women and children. Coffins draped in Iranian flags were carried from Tehran University to Azadi Square. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian attended the ceremony. Reports indicate that the total number of Iranian casualties in the conflict has reached over 600.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned Donald Trump to refrain from making “disrespectful and unacceptable” remarks about Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei if he wishes to pursue a nuclear agreement with Iran. Araghchi emphasized Iran’s commitment to sovereignty and resilience, stating, “We will never allow others to dictate our destiny.” He further added that Iran would not hesitate to reveal its full military capabilities if provoked, cautioning Israel against underestimating Iranian strength.

Israel has reportedly incurred nearly $3 billion in damages during its recent conflict with Iran, according to Bloomberg. Internal assessments indicate that Iranian missiles successfully penetrated Israeli defense systems during a two-week retaliatory barrage, causing significant damage to infrastructure. The attacks were part of Iran's “True Promise III” operation, during which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched 22 missile strikes targeting Israeli cities.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about a ceasefire in Gaza, stating that a truce could be achieved within a week. Speaking at a diplomatic event on the Congo-Rwanda agreement, Trump said he had recently spoken with key figures working toward peace. Hamas has indicated willingness to release remaining hostages under any ceasefire agreement. However, Israel insists that the conflict will only end once Hamas is completely disarmed and dismantled.

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has granted permission for Jewish settlers to engage in music, dance, and unrestricted movement within the Al-Aqsa compound in the West Bank. This decision directly violates long-standing agreements regarding the sacred site’s management. The move follows lobbying by several Jewish religious organizations that met with Ben-Gvir three weeks ago. During the meeting, he reportedly said, “I want the sound of music to echo throughout the entire Al-Aqsa compound,” intensifying tensions in the already volatile region.

Several explosions were heard in Eslamshahr, located in western Tehran, late Friday night. In response, Iranian authorities immediately activated air defense systems in the area. Videos shared by Iran International captured repeated blasts accompanied by flashes of light in the sky. However, the exact cause of the explosions and details about casualties or damages remain unclear. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump warned that if Iran succeeds in enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels, it may face renewed bombing campaigns.

Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have signed a long-awaited peace agreement in Washington aimed at ending decades of conflict and allowing U.S. access to the region's lucrative mineral resources. The accord calls for the disarmament, demobilization, and conditional reintegration of armed factions in Congo. Former President Donald Trump, present at the signing, hailed it as a “glorious victory” and a turning point toward peace and opportunity in the region.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that if Iran enriches uranium to a level suitable for nuclear weapons, it will face renewed military strikes. “Iran doesn’t want to enrich anything right now—they just want to recover,” Trump said. “They will not get the bomb, and they will not be allowed to enrich uranium.” He noted that Israel had launched airstrikes on Iran prior to U.S. action on June 13, and a 12-day cycle of retaliatory attacks followed. Trump described Iran’s supreme leadership as having taken a “brutal hit” and characterized the subsequent ceasefire as timely and necessary.

Pakistan has welcomed a supplementary ruling from the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague, which reinforces that India cannot unilaterally suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. Islamabad stated that the ruling makes it clear the arbitration process cannot be bypassed, and that both parties must agree for the treaty to be altered or terminated. A PCA press release reiterated that India cannot place the treaty in abeyance on its own. Pakistan also reaffirmed its willingness to engage in bilateral talks with India on the matter.
