‘DO NOT Need U.S Permission’ | Netanyahu vows to HIT ‘All of Iran’s Nuclear Sites' – Solo if needed

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu signaled a break from U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring Israel is ready to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities—alone if necessary. As war enters its second week, Netanyahu asserted Israel doesn't need U.S. approval to strike sites like Fordow. Trump remains undecided on a U.S. military response, sending mixed messages with threats and calls for diplomacy. While Netanyahu rules out regime change, he vows to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat, regardless of American hesitation or support. #Netanyahu #Trump #IranNuclearCrisis #IsraelIranWar #FordowFacility #MiddleEastWar #IranStrike #NuclearShowdown #BreakingNews #NetanyahuVsTrump #IDF #USIsraelTensions #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #IranWarWeek2 #USMilitaryStrike #DiplomacyVsWar #IsraelStrikes #TrumpOnIran #IranNuclearSites #NuclearTensions #FordowTargeted #NoGreenLight #IsraelStandsAlone #IranConflict #TehranUnderThreat #TrumpDecision #KhameneiThreat #MideastCrisis #USIsraelSplit #NuclearFacilities Also Read Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His Fiancée Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc US Prez Trump Will Decide On Whether To Attack Iran Within 2 Weeks: White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-will-decide-on-whether-to-attack-iran-within-2-weeks-white-house-7777787.html?ref=DMDesc I Have A Plan For Everything: Donald Trump Amid Rumours Of US Joining Iran-Israel Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-have-a-plan-for-everything-donald-trump-amid-rumours-of-us-joining-iran-israel-conflict-4185685.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Trump Vs Newsom | Court hands BIG WIN to Trump | Allows control of National Guard in California [Video]

Trump Vs Newsom | Court hands BIG WIN to Trump | Allows control of National Guard in California

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities. #TrumpVictory #NationalGuard #LAProtests #ImmigrationUnrest #GavinNewsom #Federalization #TrumpVsNewsom #CourtRuling #NinthCircuit #TrumpNews #FederalLaw #PresidentialPowers #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TruthSocial #LegalShowdown #GuardDeployment #LawAndOrder #TrumpAdministration #JudicialDeference #Trump2025 #CaliforniaCrisis #SupremeCourtNext #TrumpAppointees #BidenJudge #ProtestCrackdown #MilitaryDeployment #ImmigrationProtests #NewsomLoses #FederalAuthority Also Read US Prez Trump Will Decide On Whether To Attack Iran Within 2 Weeks: White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-will-decide-on-whether-to-attack-iran-within-2-weeks-white-house-7777787.html?ref=DMDesc I Have A Plan For Everything: Donald Trump Amid Rumours Of US Joining Iran-Israel Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-have-a-plan-for-everything-donald-trump-amid-rumours-of-us-joining-iran-israel-conflict-4185685.html?ref=DMDesc Facepalm!

Iran’s Missile Hits Israeli Hospital — Inside Soroka’s Devastation as Home Front Command Scrambles [Video]

Iran’s Missile Hits Israeli Hospital — Inside Soroka’s Devastation as Home Front Command Scrambles

Iran’s missile strike on Be’er Sheva has left Soroka Medical Center — the largest hospital in southern Israel — heavily damaged. Ophthalmology units, surgical wards, and life-saving medical equipment were destroyed in what Israeli officials call a “direct hit.” 40 civilians were injured, and only recent evacuation efforts spared further casualties. The IDF’s Home Front Command quickly deployed emergency teams to assess the destruction and secure the area. This video captures the chaos, resilience, and the ongoing mission to protect Israeli civilians in the face of escalating conflict. #IranIsraelConflict #SorokaHospital #MissileStrike #HomeFrontCommand #BeershebaAttack #IsraelUnderFire #IDF #TehranStrike #Netanyahu #BreakingNews #MiddleEastWar #GazaWar #WarFootage Also Read Ayatollah Khamenei's Existential Crossroads; Iran's Supreme Leader Faces Threat Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ayatollah-khameneis-existential-crossroads-irans-supreme-leader-faces-threat-like-never-before-7778435.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His Fiancée Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Opens Airspace Exclusively For Indian Evacuation Flights, Over 1,000 Students To Reach Delhi Tonight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-opens-airspace-exclusively-for-indian-evacuation-flights-as-tensions-simmer-in-middle-east-7778221.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.124~

Massive anti-Israel and anti-U.S. protests erupted across Iran, with thousands marching from Tehran’s Enghelab Square to Azadi Tower. Cities like Qom, Mashhad, Isfahan, and Shiraz joined in, chanting “Death to America” and “Death to the Zionist regime.” Protesters pledged loyalty to the armed forces following Israeli strikes that killed civilians and scientists.

‘HARSHER & REGRETTABLE’ | Iran President Threatens Israel | Demands UNCONDITIONAL Stop to Aggression

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued a chilling ultimatum to Israel, demanding an “unconditional stop” to what he calls Israeli “terrorist aggression.” As the war enters its second week, Pezeshkian warned of a “harsher and more regrettable” retaliation if strikes continue. Iran has launched 15 missile waves under Operation True Promise III, hitting cities like Tel Aviv and Beersheba. Meanwhile, Israel has bombed nuclear sites and missile launchers deep inside Iran, with both sides rejecting de-escalation or surrender. #IranIsraelWar #PezeshkianWarning #OperationTruePromise #MiddleEastWar #IsraelUnderFire #IranMissileStrikes #IsraelIranConflict #NuclearStandoff #BreakingNews #TelAvivStrikes #BeershebaAttack #TehranTargeted #SPND #IranVsIsrael #NoDeescalation #WarWithNoMercy #Khandab #ArakReactor #MissileWarfare #IranianPresident #NoSurrender #ChillingWarning #MilitaryEscalation #TerroristAggression #IDFStrikes #NuclearFacilities #TotalWar #WarWeekTwo #UnconditionalStop #TelAvivUnderAttack Also Read Ayatollah Khamenei's Existential Crossroads; Iran's Supreme Leader Faces Threat Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ayatollah-khameneis-existential-crossroads-irans-supreme-leader-faces-threat-like-never-before-7778435.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His Fiancée Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Opens Airspace Exclusively For Indian Evacuation Flights, Over 1,000 Students To Reach Delhi Tonight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-opens-airspace-exclusively-for-indian-evacuation-flights-as-tensions-simmer-in-middle-east-7778221.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~
