UK high court rejects challenge against selling military parts to Israel
LONDON — Human rights groups lost their legal challenge to the British government's decision to supply Israel with parts for F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment, in a ruling handed by London's High Court on Monday.The court, which looked into the allegation that the UK selling arms to Israel through a global pool was against the law, stated that it was not up to the courts to tell the government to withdraw from the group.The case was brought by the UK-based Global Legal Action Network and a Ramallah-based human rights group Al-Haq, in conjunction with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Oxfam.They argued that there was a “clear risk” that the UK's indirect supply of essential F-35 components to Israel — which have been linked to its recent military...

Hundreds of families displaced by wave of Israeli air strikes on Gaza, witnesses say
JERUSALEM — Israel has carried out a wave of air strikes across the Gaza Strip, triggering the mass displacement of hundreds of Palestinian families, witnesses say.Rescue teams recovered the bodies of five people, while dozens of injured civilians were evacuated to Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, according to local reports.The bombardment follows one of the largest evacuation orders issued since the war resumed in March.It comes amid increasing pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refocus efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement.Residents in Gaza City said dozens of Israeli air raids targeted densely populated eastern neighborhoods, including Shujaiya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun.Videos posted by activists on social media captured scenes of chaos and explosions illuminating the...

Israel orders evacuations in northern Gaza as Trump pushes for ceasefire
JERUSALEM — Israel has ordered Palestinians to evacuate from parts of northern Gaza ahead of increased military action, as US President Donald Trump pushes for a ceasefire deal.People in neighborhoods across Gaza City and Jabalia have been told to move south towards the coastal area of al-Mawasi as Israeli military operations "intensify and expand westward".At least 86 people were killed as a result of Israeli attacks in the 24 hours before midday on Sunday, the Hamas-run health ministry said.Three children were among those killed in a strike on the so-called "safe zone" of al-Mawasi, their parents said.Trump has reiterated calls to "make the deal in Gaza" and "get the hostages back".On Saturday, Trump had said on Truth Social that Israel's...

US must rule out more strikes before new talks, Iranian minister says
TEHRAN — The US must rule out any further strikes on Iran if it wants to resume diplomatic talks, Tehran's deputy foreign minister has told the BBC.Majid Takht-Ravanchi says the Trump administration has told Iran through mediators it wants to return to negotiations, but had "not made their position clear" on the "very important question" of further attacks while talks are taking place.Israel's military operation, which began in the early hours of 13 June, scuppered a sixth round of mainly indirect talks set to take place in Muscat two days later.The US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran last weekend when it targeted three Iranian nuclear sites in a bombing raid.Takht-Ravanchi also said Iran will "insist" on being able to...

Iran's FM says talks with Washington 'complicated' by US strikes on nuclear sites
TEHRAN — Iran's top diplomat said on Friday that the possibility of new negotiations with the United States on his country's nuclear programme has been "complicated" by US strikes on three of the sites, which he conceded had caused "serious damage."The US was one of the parties to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which saw Iran agree to limit its uranium enrichment programme in exchange for sanctions relief and other benefits.That deal unravelled in 2018 after President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the US out during his first term, calling it the "worst deal ever negotiated."Trump had suggested he is interested in new talks with Iran and said the two sides would meet next week.In an interview on Iranian state television...

Tehran is coming back to life, but its residents are deeply shaken
TEHRAN — In the heart of the Iranian capital, the Boof cafe serves up refreshing cold drinks on a hot summer's day.They must be the most distinctive iced Americano coffees in this city – the cafe sits in a leafy corner of the long-shuttered US embassy.Its high cement walls have been plastered with anti-American murals ever since Washington severed relations with Tehran in the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis – which still cast a long shadow over this tortuous relationship.Inside the charming Boof cafe, Amir the barista says he'd like relations to improve between America and Iran."US sanctions hurt our businesses and make it hard for us to travel around the world," he reflects as he pours another iced coffee behind a jaunty wooden sign —...

Iran's uranium stocks said to be intact, UK media says citing European intelligence probe 
LONDON — Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium is believed to be largely intact following US strikes on the country's main nuclear sites, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing European officials.The newspaper, citing two people briefed on preliminary intelligence assessments, said European capitals believe Iran’s stockpile of 408 kilograms of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels was not being held in Fordow and may have been moved prior to US strikes on Sunday.Claims that uranium was moved from any of Iran’s nuclear sites were dismissed by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday."We were watching closely and there was no indication to the United States that any of that enriched uranium was moved," she said.The initial...

EU leaders leave Israel partnership on shelf despite pressure to act
BRUSSELS — Despite a report saying there are “indications” that Israel was in breach of its human rights obligations over its ongoing war in Gaza, European leaders could only agree at their council summit on Thursday to "continue discussions" on a follow-up to the report.A majority of EU countries ordered the review of the bloc's deal with Israel over its war with Gaza, but they cannot agree on what to do with it.Over lunch on Thursday conducted in strict discretion, with mobile phones kept out of the room, the 27 EU leaders chewed over the eight-page review listing Israel’s human rights violations including blockade of humanitarian assistance, military strikes against hospitals and forced displacement of the Palestinian population.But despite a majority of 17...

Iran carries out wave of arrests and executions in wake of Israel conflict
TEHRAN — Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.It comes after what officials describe as an unprecedented infiltration of Iranian security services by Israeli agents.Authorities suspect information fed to Israel played a part in a series of high-profile assassinations during the conflict. This included the targeted killings of senior commanders from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists, which Iran attributes to operatives of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency working inside the country.Shaken by the scale and precision of these killings, authorities have been targeting anyone suspected of...
