Calling the Iranian leader “the modern Hitler,” the Israeli minister said: ""A dictator like Khamenei, who leads Iran and has made the destruction of Israel his banner, cannot continue to exist.”
The threat comes hours after some 20-30 Iranian missiles targeted Israel’s central cities, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Holon, as well as Soroka Hospital in the southern city of Beersheba."
"Trump to decide if US joins assault on Iran ‘within two weeks’
"
"US President Donald Trump has said he will decide whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks due to a ""substantial"" chance of negotiations, as Tel Aviv and Tehran traded fire for a seventh day.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said hat Trump was interested in pursuing a diplomatic solution with Iran, but his top priority was ensuring that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon.
She said any deal would have to prohibit enrichment of uranium by Tehran and eliminate Iran's ability to achieve a nuclear weapon, adding that ""correspondence has continued"" between the United States and Iran."

It added that the UN verified 41,370 grave violations against children, with 36,221 committed in 2024 — a nearly 50% rise in deadly incidents compared to the previous year."
"Kiev worries Iran-Israel tensions may divert US attention
"
"Fighting between Iran and Israel could deflect global attention from the Russian incursion into Ukraine and even bolster Kremlin's war effort, Ukrainian officials have said.
""For Ukraine, the challenge is the price of oil, because if prices remain high for a long time, the Russians will earn more,"" a senior Ukrainian political source said.
Kiev is concerned that waning attention and support from Washington could lead to a muted US response to further Russian advances or deadly aerial attacks.
Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy said that the war between Iran and Israel carried risks for Kiev, adding that they would like to see the aid to Ukraine would not be reduced because of Israel-Iran conflict. "
