US President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would have “no choice” but to accept any US-Iran agreement aimed at ending the Middle East conflict, asserting that Washington controls the direction of negotiations. Speaking after Iran launched missiles at Israel, Trump maintained that the attacks would not derail ongoing diplomatic efforts with Tehran. Reports indicated Trump urged Netanyahu to avoid retaliatory action, arguing that a potential deal with Iran remained within reach. While expressing hope for a negotiated settlement, Trump also warned that failure could result in tougher measures, including continued blockades or possible military action. The comments highlighted growing US-Israeli policy tensions. (PC: US News)

US President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press after a heated exchange with journalist Kristen Welker over his claims that the 2020 presidential election and California’s gubernatorial race were “rigged.” Trump repeatedly alleged election fraud without presenting evidence and accused NBC and the media of being “crooked.” The confrontation intensified when Welker pressed him on election claims and questioned whether individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack could receive benefits from his proposed “anti-weaponization” fund. Trump defended some rioters, rejected the questioning, removed his microphone, and ended the interview before its scheduled conclusion.

Iran launched multiple missile barrages at Israel on June 7, marking the first major attack since last week's fragile ceasefire and raising fears of renewed regional escalation. Air raid sirens sounded across parts of Israel as defense systems intercepted incoming missiles, though authorities reported no immediate casualties or significant damage. Iranian Supreme Leader adviser Mohsen Rezaei appeared to claim responsibility, describing the strikes as retaliation and warning of harsher responses if Israel continued military operations. The attack followed Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs targeting Hezbollah. Iran's state media warned attacks would continue unless Israel halted operations in Lebanon. The developments threaten ongoing US-backed diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a broader ceasefire.

Israel carried out air strikes on southern Beirut on Sunday, days after a US-brokered truce. Lebanese media reported that 2 people were killed and at least 17 were injured.

The attack is the first on Beirut since the recent truce agreement. The strikes have raised concerns about the stability of the ceasefire and wider efforts to reduce tensions in the region.

US President Donald Trump said there is a “good probability” that he knows the location of Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. In an interview with NBC News, Trump also claimed that Khamenei is seriously injured but continues to speak publicly. Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public since he was wounded in strikes that killed his father, Ali Khamenei, in February. Trump described him as younger and more rational than his father. He also said any peace deal with Iran must come before the release of frozen Iranian assets worth more than $100 billion. (PC: AFP)

A Russian drone strike has damaged a building associated with the storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Chornobyl nuclear site in northern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth used a D-Day anniversary speech in Normandy to criticise European migration policies, saying several European beaches were being "stormed" by an "invasion" of migrants. Speaking 82 years after Allied forces landed in Nazi-occupied France, Hegseth said some European capitals had become too comfortable with their freedoms and needed to act against illegal migration. His remarks reflect the Trump administration's hardline stance on border security and immigration. The comments come as migration remains a major political issue across Europe, with several countries tightening border controls and asylum policies. (PC: BBC)
