Mohammed Mokhber, an adviser to the Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, has said that "psychological warfare" and threats of war by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "betray desperation than power".
In a post on X, Mokhber said: "Iran is aware of the enemy’s vulnerabilities. Surprise moves on the battlefield, along with its leverage in the oil and energy sectors, can shift the balance of power.
"In the region, the nation that remains is the one that has lived there for thousands of years, and the Zionist regime can merely think about its own 'non-existence.'”
Former US border patrol chief Greg Bovino defends the controversial deportation drive in Minneapolis, describing the withdrawal of agents as a "surrender" by the Trump administration. Bovino also dismisses a lawsuit filed by the family of a woman shot dead during the operation, praising the officers deployed and saying "people do lawsuits all the time". Bovino was removed from his role shortly after the fatal shootings of US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.
Israel's military launched a days-long operation in the West Bank following a deadly attack on two soldiers days before elections. The operation involves searches and demolitions, targeting areas where the attackers emerged. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged an even harder line on West Bank militancy.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has left a lasting impact on the country’s institutions, politics, and social attitudes. Born in 1949, Netanyahu entered Israel’s central political stage in the early 1990s by fuelling anger at possible peace deals with the Palestinians and Syria. He was accused of leading incitement that motivated the 1995 assassination of then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was leading negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
