Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit President Trump at the White House next week as Israel focuses on diplomacy with their Middle East neighbors. @MattMcBradley and @RohdeD joins @AlexWitt to share more. msnbc.com/ana-cabrera-re…
The U.S. and Israel have shifted their focus toward an ambitious diplomatic push they hope will translate into the kind of enduring political stability that has evaded the region for decades. nbcnews.com/world/middle-e…
President Trump lashed out at Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire ahead of the NATO summit. @GarrettHaake and @MattMcBradley report more. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO @IvoHDaalder joins @ChrisJansing to express concern over Trump's strategy. msnbc.com/chris-jansing-…
Just as the ceasefire came into effect this morning... Not one, not two, but THREE air raid sirens here in Tel Aviv all of them in the space of an hour.
The Washington Post has published an audio file in which Mossad agents contact 20 IRGC commanders and give them 12 hours to flee Iran, or they and their families will be killed.
Unclear about these details. It looks like Israel will have a twelve hour period after Iran ceases firing before it too has to stop striking Iran. Then both sides keep their guns silent for 12 hours before the war officially ends. That sounds like quite a lopsided deal.

Israel just announced a new evacuation order for large parts of Iran’s capital. This comes even as the clock ticks down for the start of a ceasefire.
As Iran comes under attack, its Arab neighbors are largely AWOL nbcnews.com/world/middle-e… via @nbcnews
NY Times: "Iran coordinated the attacks on the American air base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimize casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans." nytimes.com/live/2025/06/2…
Reports indicate Qatari, Bahraini and Emirati airspaces are now all closed.
Regime change is clearly the goal. But change it to what?
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz says the IDF is currently striking ”regime targets and symbols of government oppression in Tehran,” including the Basij HQ, Evin Prison for political prisoners, the ‘Destruction of Israel’ clock, IRGC’s internal security HQ, and other regime…

Iranian media report Israel struck the gates of the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, which mostly holds dissidents and political prisoners.
A Hezbollah source told us that the group has not changed its position and will not intervene in the conflict between Iran and Israel, even after the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. “There is no change. The Iranians are the ones defending themselves,” the source said.
