Iran is now turning to regional intermediaries in a bid to halt the escalating conflict, reportedly pleading with them to deliver a message directly to President Donald Trump: stop the war.
Despite continuing its missile assaults on Israel, Iran has been unable to shield itself from the relentless wave of Israeli counterstrikes.
In under two days, Israel has succeeded in eliminating the bulk of Iran’s top military commanders and nuclear experts. It has also inflicted significant damage on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and nearly wiped out what remained of the country’s air defense systems. In response to Tehran’s missile fire on Israeli population centers, Israel has also begun hitting critical components of Iran’s energy sector.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney voiced his backing for Israel amid its ongoing conflict with Iran.
In a public statement, Carney remarked, “Iran’s nuclear program has long been a cause of grave concern, and its missile attacks across Israel threaten regional peace.”
He continued by emphasizing Canada’s position: “Canada reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and to ensure its security,” while simultaneously urging caution with the appeal, “We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and move towards a diplomatic resolution.”

In one of the most destructive attacks since the current war with Iran began, a direct Iranian missile strike on the city of Bat Yam overnight left six people dead, over 100 injured, and sparked concerns for dozens still unaccounted for.
Massive damage was reported across the area, with rescue and emergency teams continuing to search the rubble into Sunday morning.
Among the fatalities were a 60-year-old woman, an 80-year-old woman, a 55-year-old woman, an 18-year-old boy, a 10-year-old boy, and a young girl. The injured included four people in serious condition, seven in moderate condition, and 88 with light injuries.
Rescue workers are continuing their efforts at the scene.

President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any assault on the United States would trigger an unprecedented military response “at levels never seen before.”
He emphasized that the power unleashed by the U.S. Armed Forces would be unlike anything witnessed in the past.
In a message posted on his Truth Social account, Trump made it clear that the United States was not involved in the recent overnight strike on Iranian territory. He added, “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”

A manhunt unfolded on Shabbos across the Minneapolis suburbs as authorities searched for a suspect accused of impersonating a law enforcement officer and murdering a sitting Democratic legislator. The shootings, described by Governor Tim Walz as “a politically motivated assassination,” resulted in the deaths of Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, and left Senator John Hoffman and his wife wounded. Officials believe the suspect attempted to flee following the attacks.

The IDF announced on Sunday morning the death of Sergeant First Class (res.) Noam Shemesh, a 21-year-old from Yerushalayim, who was serving as a squad commander in the Shimshon Battalion (92) of the Kfir Brigade. He was killed in action during fighting in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
With his passing, the total number of Israeli military personnel who have died since the beginning of the war has reached 867. Of those, 424 soldiers have fallen since the ground operation in Gaza commenced.

An Iranian government representative issued a stern warning that any nation offering support to Israel would become a direct target of Iranian retaliation.
“Iran reserves the right – under international law – to respond decisively to this regime,” the official told CNN. “Any country that attempts to defend the regime against Iran’s operations will, in turn, see its regional bases and positions become new targets.”

Israel has pressed the Trump administration to enter the conflict against Iran with the objective of dismantling the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, according to two Israeli sources familiar with the matter, Axios reports.
While Israel has launched extensive strikes, it lacks the necessary firepower—such as long-range bombers and bunker-busting munitions—to effectively destroy Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility, which is fortified deep within a mountain, Axios claims. The U.S. military, on the other hand, possesses these capabilities and has them stationed within range of Iranian territory.
