Israel and Iran have traded strikes for the fifth consecutive day, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Former President Trump, speaking after leaving the G7 summit early, issued a stark warning to Iran, urging civilians to evacuate Tehran amid signals of massive U.S. military action. Explosions rocked Tehran as Israel bombed the Natanz nuclear facility, triggering fears of nuclear contamination. Iran responded with missile strikes on Tel Aviv. Peace efforts are underway via Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, but the region teeters on the edge of all-out war.

Four major Arab nations — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan — have strongly condemned Israel’s military strikes on Iran, labeling them as violations of sovereignty and international law. Riyadh has called for urgent UN Security Council intervention, while the UAE urged maximum restraint. Kuwait and Jordan warned the strikes threaten Middle East stability. All four nations demand immediate global action to prevent the outbreak of a larger regional war, as fears of a wider Islamic world backlash begin to grow.

Israel has eliminated IRGC Aerospace Force Chief Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh in a precision airstrike on a secret underground command bunker. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed that over 20 senior Iranian military officials, including commanders of Iran’s drone and air defense units, were also killed in the strike. The targeted facility was reportedly being used to coordinate an imminent large-scale attack on Israel. Hajizadeh, a key architect of Iran’s missile and drone programs, had previously overseen major offensives including the April and October 2024 attacks on Israel and the infamous 2019 drone strike on Saudi oil facilities.

Iran has condemned a “provocative” IAEA resolution backed by the U.S., France, the UK, and Germany, escalating nuclear tensions. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes, warning of a "firm response" if pressured further. Amid five rounds of indirect U.S.-Iran talks in Oman, Tehran is preparing a counterproposal, rejecting the current U.S. offer for lacking sanctions relief. As Western allies push for a halt, Iran stands firm, with Supreme Leader Khamenei calling enrichment rights “nonnegotiable.” The next round of talks is set for June 15 in Muscat.

Iran has firmly rejected U.S. demands to end uranium enrichment, calling its peaceful nuclear program a ‘non-negotiable’ right. As talks mediated by Oman remain stalled, Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Pezeshkian vow not to bow to pressure or threats of sanctions. Iran warns that denying its nuclear rights will derail diplomacy. Dismissing Trump’s threats of “maximum pressure,” Tehran insists its national security and economic resilience will not be compromised, asserting it has alternatives and intellectual capital to sustain independence.

A fifth round of Iran-U.S. nuclear talks wrapped up in Rome with minimal progress, as mediated by Oman. Iran’s Foreign Minister shared a photo with Oman’s FM, signaling diplomatic efforts despite rising tension. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff departed early, while technical discussions continued. Talks aim to restrict Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting U.S. sanctions, but key issues remain—especially uranium enrichment. Iran vows to continue enrichment regardless of a deal. With no sixth round scheduled, the stalemate deepens, raising fears of escalation as Trump threatens military action.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.
