Iran Launches 3rd Retaliation In 24 Hours Over Israel | Missiles Fired On Tel Aviv, Jerusalem

Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel early Saturday, escalating a rapidly intensifying conflict between the two nations. The assault, dubbed "Honest Promise 3" by Iranian state media, followed Israeli airstrikes that targeted Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure in what officials described as the country's most significant military operation to date. The Israeli offensive, named "Operation Rising Lion," reportedly killed several high-ranking Iranian military officers and nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Iran fired ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, triggering air raid sirens and explosions across both cities. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed continued retaliation, declaring that Israel would face consequences for its actions. Israeli defenses intercepted some projectiles, but damage and fear spread among civilians. This direct military confrontation marks a dangerous escalation in Middle Eastern tensions, risking broader regional instability and drawing international concern over the potential for full-scale war.

Iran Strikes After Israel's 'Operation Rising Lion'; Barrage Of Missiles Fired Over Tel Aviv

Explosions were heard across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the occupied West Bank after Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for an unprecedented Israeli strike on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, which reportedly killed top Iranian commanders. Israel's military named its operation “Rising Lion.” While Iran claimed to have fired hundreds of missiles, Israel stated fewer than 100 were launched, most intercepted or falling short. The U.S. military assisted in intercepting incoming missiles. Buildings in Ramat Gan were damaged, with at least five injured in the Tel Aviv area. The attacks sparked fears of a wider regional conflict, though Iran’s allies, Hamas and Hezbollah, have already been weakened. Global leaders, including the UN and EU, urged restraint. Turkish, Malaysian, and Pakistani leaders condemned Israel’s actions, calling them provocative. The escalation has heightened tensions around Iran’s nuclear ambitions and raised alarm over broader regional instability.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people, urging them to rise against their regime and declaring that Israel had launched a major offensive targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The strikes reportedly killed senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, destroyed a key enrichment facility, and damaged Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities. Netanyahu warned of further action, claiming Iran is at its weakest. In response, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, triggering air raid sirens and widespread evacuations. Explosions lit up the skies, though no casualties were immediately reported. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed retaliation, stating that Israel had initiated a war. The situation marks a significant escalation in long-standing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel views as a critical threat. International observers fear the conflict could spiral into a broader regional war across the Middle East.

U.S-China Trade Talks: Lutnick Focuses On Framework That Should Resolve Rare Earth Issue | N18G

On June 11, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that the United States and China had agreed on a trade framework and implementation plan during talks in London. The agreement aims to address and potentially resolve restrictions on rare earths and magnets—critical materials for various technologies. Lutnick stated that the U.S. team would present the framework to President Donald Trump for approval, while China’s Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang confirmed that their side would also seek leadership approval. The framework is part of broader efforts by senior economic officials from both countries to ease escalating trade tensions and competing export controls. These restrictions had posed a threat to the stability of a Geneva accord that had successfully reduced tariffs from extremely high levels. The new agreement represents a step toward cooperation, aiming to stabilize trade relations and prevent further deterioration in economic ties between the world’s two largest economies.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass imposed a curfew in a 1-square-mile area of downtown following days of intense protests against ICE raids. The demonstrations led to clashes between protesters and law enforcement, with reports of vandalism and some looting, particularly during late-night and early-morning hours. The curfew began at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, and will remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11. City officials aim to restore order and ensure public safety amid growing unrest.

Austria School Shooting: Graz Holds Memorial, Tearful Tributes Paid To Victims | N18G

A candlelight vigil was held in Graz, Austria, to mourn the victims of a devastating school shooting at Dreierschützengasse secondary school, where 10 people—including the 21-year-old gunman—lost their lives. The attacker, a former student who had not completed his studies, took his own life in a school bathroom after the rampage. The tragedy, Austria’s deadliest gun violence in recent years, left at least 12 others seriously injured. Among the victims were seven females and three males, including a 17-year-old French student. Thousands gathered in the city square, lighting candles and standing in silent reflection, while officials declared three days of national mourning and scheduled a minute of silence. The gunman acted alone, using two legally owned weapons, and left a goodbye letter to his parents, but offered no explanation for his actions. The event has deeply shaken the community and the nation.

LA Protests: Trump Deploys Marines To Quell Unrest, Crowds Gather On Streets

Protests erupted in downtown Los Angeles as demonstrators marched toward the courthouse where labor leader David Huerta was being held, prompting a heightened federal response. In a controversial move, the Trump administration announced the temporary deployment of about 700 U.S. Marines to the city to support until more National Guard troops arrive. While the Insurrection Act was not invoked—meaning the troops won’t engage in direct law enforcement—the decision marks a rare use of military forces for domestic unrest. The situation remains fluid, and officials suggest it could change. The deployment sparked criticism, especially from Democrats, who accuse President Trump of unnecessarily escalating tensions. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move as illegal and vowed to sue, prompting Trump to say he would support Newsom’s arrest. The unrest follows days of protests and clashes over Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement, which has become a major point of contention between political parties.

Macron Takes Firm Stand Against Israel Over Seized Boat, Says Blocking Aid Is 'Shameful'

France is in contact with Israel concerning six French nationals aboard the British-flagged charity yacht Madleen, which was seized while attempting to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. The vessel aimed to deliver symbolic aid and raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis. French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking at the U.N. Ocean Summit in Nice, condemned the blockade as “shameful” and called for a ceasefire in Gaza. Since March, Israel has sealed Gaza’s borders, blocking supplies over concerns that Hamas was diverting aid. Recently, limited food has been allowed in, distributed by an Israeli-backed group, but many Palestinians have died trying to access it. Separately, Macron announced that the High Seas Treaty, focused on conserving international waters, will come into effect in early 2026 after receiving enough ratifications. The treaty, adopted in 2023, allows countries to establish marine parks in international waters, which cover nearly two-thirds of the ocean but are largely unprotected.

UN Ocean Conference Kickstarts In Nice | Macron Welcomes Participants, Vows To Protect Oceans

French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron welcomed global leaders to an opening dinner in Nice on June 8 for the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), held at the historic Negresco hotel. The conference, running from July 9 to 13, seeks to boost support for a treaty to protect ocean biodiversity, which currently lacks enough signatories to take effect. Macron emphasized France’s leadership in marine protection, downplaying the absence of U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration. He expressed hope that more than the current 30 nations will commit to halting deep-sea exploitation. Highlighting five interconnected ocean crises—biodiversity loss, water quality, food security, health, and climate change—Macron called for increased European funding for scientific deep-sea research. France is co-hosting the event with Costa Rica, a country recognized for environmental stewardship. Macron urged a unified global response, describing unregulated deep-sea exploitation as reckless and scientifically unjustified.

Protests Intensify In Los Angeles As Trump Deploys National Guard To Control Riots | N18G

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a federal crackdown in Los Angeles as protests over immigration raids entered their fourth day. Calling the situation a “migrant invasion,” Trump deployed National Guard troops and warned of mass deportations. He accused illegal migrants and violent mobs of attacking federal agents to disrupt deportation operations. Trump tasked top officials, including the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense, to take decisive action to “liberate” the city. On Sunday, 300 National Guard troops were stationed at key locations, including the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, where detainees from recent raids were being held. Authorities used pepper spray, tear gas, batons, and flash-bang grenades to disperse demonstrators, some of whom blocked major roadways. The protests underscore deep tensions between Trump’s hardline immigration policies and the Democratic leadership of Los Angeles, a city with a large immigrant population. Trump vowed that order would be restored and illegals expelled.

Elon Musk vs. Trump Public Feud Escalates Online: All You Need To Know | N18G

The longstanding tensions between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk escalated into a public feud over Trump’s economic bill and clean energy incentives. Musk criticized the legislation, calling it an “abomination,” prompting Trump to express disappointment and claim Musk had previously supported the bill. Musk responded by asserting that his backing was crucial to Trump’s 2024 election victory and warned Democrats would have controlled the House without him. Trump retaliated by stating he asked Musk to leave and revoked Musk’s EV mandate, accusing him of “going crazy.” Musk then announced SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft following threats to cancel government contracts. The spat intensified when Musk alleged Trump’s involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein files, hinting at a major scandal. Trump defended the bill as historic and criticized Musk’s delayed opposition. Musk further predicted Trump’s tariffs would cause a recession and supported Trump’s impeachment. The dispute highlights a sharp breakdown in their previously cooperative relationship.

'What business do you have in this?': Iran Rejects U.S. Nuclear Deal Demand, Stands Firm on Uranium Enrichment Rights

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei firmly rejected a U.S. demand to halt uranium enrichment, calling it against Iran’s interests. The U.S. presented a new nuclear deal proposal via Oman after five rounds of talks, but key issues remain unresolved, including Iran’s insistence on continuing enrichment on its soil and refusal to export its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Tehran maintains its nuclear programme is peaceful. The proposal is expected to be rejected as it does not meet Iran’s conditions. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has intensified sanctions and threatened military action, while Israel continues to warn of strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Trump Tariffs On Steel And Aluminum Double To 50% Amid Global Backlash | N18G

On June 4, Donald Trump’s decision to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% took effect, intensifying his global trade war. Announced on May 30, Trump justified the move as a step to further protect U.S. steel and aluminum industries, claiming they are “coming back like never before.” The tariffs sparked immediate backlash from key U.S. trading partners. Canada’s Chamber of Commerce and United Steelworkers union condemned the decision, warning of harm to cross-border supply chains and Canadian workers. The European Commission criticized the move for increasing global economic uncertainty and hinted at retaliation. Australia also denounced the tariffs as unjustified. Meanwhile, U.S. steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. saw a 26% stock surge, with investors betting on increased domestic profits. As the U.S. is the world’s largest steel importer (excluding the EU), the tariff hike is expected to raise steel prices broadly, impacting industries and consumers alike.

Houthi Missile Shot Down Over Israel | Sirens Sound In Tel Aviv | Ben Gurion Airport Targeted | N18G

On June 3, sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, central Israel, Jerusalem, and parts of the West Bank after a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, claimed responsibility, stating the missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport. The attack occurred shortly before the start of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Residents were alerted in advance through mobile push notifications from the Home Front Command. No injuries or damage were reported in this incident. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks at Israel, most of which have been intercepted. A rare successful strike earlier this month caused minor injuries near Ben Gurion Airport. The latest missile fire came in response to an Israeli airstrike last week on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, which destroyed a plane used by the Houthis.

Elon Musk Slams Trump’s ‘Disgusting’ Spending Bill | $2.5 Trillion Deficit Warning | N18G

Elon Musk has publicly clashed with President Donald Trump over a controversial Congressional spending bill, marking his first open disagreement since leaving his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk criticized the bill on X, labeling it as “outrageous” and warning it would raise the budget deficit to $2.5 trillion, potentially bankrupting the country. Despite Musk’s sharp remarks, the White House dismissed the criticism, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Musk's views would not influence the president. Trump continues to endorse the bill, calling it “unbelievable” and claiming it cuts deficits. Fiscal conservatives and analysts warn it could increase the deficit by up to $4 trillion over ten years. Meanwhile, the White House Council of Economic Advisers projects optimistic growth of 5.2% and cites $1.6 trillion in spending cuts. Musk, though present at a recent press conference, remained silent, signaling his deep disagreement.

Canadian Wildfire Raises Concern Over Air Quality In U.S. Midwest | AQI Turns 'Very Unhealthy'| N18G

Thick smoke from wildfires burning across western Canada spread into the U.S. Upper Midwest on June 3, significantly worsening air quality in Minneapolis. The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) reached 168, placing it among the worst in the world that day and matching Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The smoke plume originated from large fires in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and contained fine particulate matter, which poses health risks, especially for individuals with heart or lung conditions. Health officials advised residents to limit outdoor activities to reduce exposure. Although conditions in Minneapolis are expected to gradually improve, lower levels of smoke are forecast to travel further east, reaching cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Boston in the coming days. This event highlights how wildfire smoke can impact air quality far beyond the immediate area of the fires, affecting large regions and posing health concerns across North America.

Operation Sindoor to Erdogan’s Embrace of Pakistan: What’s Fueling India-Turkey Tensions?

Following the Pahalgam terror attacks and India’s launch of Operation Sindoor, Turkey has reinforced its strategic alignment with Pakistan. Despite offering condolences, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continues backing Islamabad, drawing criticism from India. Turkey has assisted Pakistan militarily, especially in drone tech, and supports its stance on Kashmir in international forums. India views Turkey’s actions as intrusive and misaligned with its interests. Bilateral ties have weakened, with India reducing engagement while urging Ankara to discourage Pakistan’s use of terrorism. Former Ambassador Anil Trigunayat says Erdogan’s Islamic leadership ambitions are driving this alignment, though India prefers dialogue and mutual respect.

On Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, a man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, attacked a crowd at a memorial for Israeli hostages by throwing incendiary devices while shouting “Free Palestine.” He used a makeshift flamethrower, injuring six people aged 67 to 88, some seriously. Eyewitnesses described chaos, with victims suffering burns and bystanders scrambling to help. The event, organized by the group 'Run For Their Lives' to call for hostage releases in Gaza, was disrupted as Soliman also yelled slogans like “End Zionists” and “They are killers.” Authorities evacuated nearby blocks and deployed K-9 units during the response. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating, with no charges announced yet, though officials pledged full accountability. Colorado Governor Jared Polis condemned the act, calling it unacceptable hate-fueled violence.

Poland Presidential Elections: Conservative Karol Nawrocki Wins In A Tight Contest | N18G

Conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki narrowly won Poland’s presidential runoff election, securing 50.89% of the vote against liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, who received 49.11%. The tight race, following a closely contested first round, revealed deep political divisions within Poland, a key NATO and EU member on Europe’s eastern flank. An early exit poll had incorrectly suggested a Trzaskowski win, but late polling and official results confirmed Nawrocki's lead. Backed by Poland’s largest nationalist opposition party and endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki’s victory is expected to steer the country toward a more nationalist agenda. Celebrations in Warsaw included Romanian far-right figure George Simion and former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who praised the result as a major win for both Europe and Christianity. The election outcome highlights rising nationalist sentiment in the region and marks a significant political shift in Poland's leadership and policy direction.
