An adviser to Iran's supreme leader recently declared that Iran would alter its nuclear doctrine if Israel posed a threat to its existence, adding yet another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate surrounding Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

We’ve been very clear …
from the very beginning

are in that battlespace, Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.

determination on how
to proceed with that
shipment [of weapons], Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.

Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has initiated a series of discussions with Israeli leaders to address the issue of increasing humanitarian aid into Gaza. Simultaneously, he has been urging Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, to accept a proposed deal aimed at securing the release of hostages and achieving a ceasefire. Following his visits to Riyadh and Amman earlier in the week, Blinken is now in Israel, the final stop of his broader Middle East tour. Reports indicate that Blinken is currently meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. This marks Blinken's seventh visit to the region, which has been engulfed in conflict since October 7th when Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Blinken's main focus during his time in Israel is to pressure the Israeli government into taking specific actions to enhance the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He emphasised the need to address the suffering of the people in Gaza amidst the ongoing crossfire instigated by Hamas, while also striving to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
