Israel does not intend to physically harm Tehran residents, defence minister says
JERUSALEM, June 16 (Reuters) - Israel has no intention of deliberately harming the residents of Tehran, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said, walking back earlier comments he had made on Monday.
"I wish to clarify the obvious: there is no intention to physically harm the residents of Tehran as the murderous dictator does to the residents of Israel," Katz said in a statement.
"The residents of Tehran will have to pay the price of dictatorship and evacuate their homes from areas where it will be necessary to attack regime targets and security infrastructures in Tehran."

Protesters attacked outside Iranian Embassy
Police have arrested six men after protesters were attacked outside the Iranian Embassy in London. Two men have been treated for injuries at the scene and have been taken to hospital, the Metropolitan Police said. The attack comes amid the ongoing Israel-Iran war. Donald Trump, the US president, said that he would decide in the next fortnight whether or not his country would intervene in the conflict. The Iranian flag and posters are in the background outside the embassy, where an earlier protest took place. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'At 09:53hrs on Friday, 20 June, officers responded to reports of an altercation in Prince's Gate, SW1. 'Six men have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm – they remain in police custody. 'Two men were treated for injuries at the scene and have been taken to hospital for further treatment by the London Ambulance Service. 'Police have cordoned off the area while initial investigations take place.'

Palestinian chef Sami Tamimi: I want to bring the spotlight to the food and people of my country
Chef and author Sami Tamimi says his mission is to 'keep talking about Palestine', its food, culture and people. 'It helps it not to disappear,' says the 57-year-old, 'as a Palestinian who has a voice, as a food writer, I feel that we must use all the tools we have to keep it alive.' Advertisement Palestinian food is 'very important' to promote, he believes, 'because we've been erased'. Israel's military campaign since October 2023 has killed over 55,300 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. It came after the Hamas group's attack on southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. 'It's horrific, it's totally heartbreaking what's happening. I feel slightly helpless in a way,' says the chef, well known for co-founding the Ottolenghi restaurant and deli group, and writing several books with Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi. (Ola O Smit/PA) He hopes the publication of his new cookbook, Boustany – translating to 'my garden' in Arabic, and focussing on vegetable dishes of Palestine and the dishes of his roots – will help in a small way to 'bring some spotlight on the country, the food, the people and the place'. Advertisement Born and raised in Jerusalem (Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since the 1967 war while Palestine claim the city as their capital), he says: 'A big chunk of the Tamimi family in Palestine as based in Hebron [in the southern West Bank], my mum's side,' he explains, and his grandparents' house was surrounded by a large 'boustan', a garden filled with fruits and vegetables that his grandmother meticulously tended to. Born in 1968, Tamimi says: 'My parents didn't talk about what happened a year before. I didn't speak Hebrew until 16 or 17 because there was no interaction between Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem.' He was one of seven, plus another five half siblings from his father's second marriage after his mother died in childbirth when he was just seven years old. Tamimi later lived in Tel Aviv for 12 years working in restaurants, before moving to the UK in 1997 – 'It was a bit weird for a Palestinian in Tel Aviv at the time,' he notes. Advertisement (Ola O Smit/PA) Tamimi happened to be visiting Jerusalem when the October 7 attacks occurred. 'I was on a work trip, everything happened two nights after I arrived. I was stuck there for a few days and I managed to [get] to the border to Jordan and get a flight back to London,' he says, 'I couldn't see my family, I had to leave because it was kind of unsafe.' And so, 'The responsibility of writing these recipes and stories has weighed heavily on my shoulders,' he writes in the book. Food and shared meal times is an enormous part of Palestinian culture, he explains. Known for their warm hospitality and strong community bonds, 'Palestinian homes are like, doors open and people are welcome to [care]. Before mobile phones, people just show up and it's really nice. [You] cook more than they need, because you never know if somebody's going to show up. You will always have to offer them food, even if they just come for a short visit. 'Everyone's kind of invited.' Advertisement And although his father cooked too, 'It's mainly females who cook in my culture so I wasn't exposed to cooking as a child – I had to train myself and learn how to cook. 'When I established myself as a chef, I realised that I wanted to cook Palestinian because it's really important to keep it alive first of all, and this is the food that I enjoyed eating as well and cooking. It's my culture, it's people, the place that I came from, it's my family, it's all of that.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sami Tamimi سامي التميمي (@sami_tamimi) Like the Middle Eastern cuisines of surrounding Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, Palestinian food is 'heavy on vegetables, grains, pulses, herbs, it's very connected to farming, to seasons, it's connected to the surroundings – people tend to forage quite a lot.' 'If you want to compare Lebanese to Palestinian cooking, Palestinian cooking is a bit more robust, and the flavouring is slightly more earthy.' Advertisement Grains and vegetables are transformed using ingredients including olive oil, garlic, lemon, sumac, zaatar, tahini, and different molasses, like grapes, dates and pomegranate. While sage, mallow, chicory, purslane, carob and cactus fruit are often foraged – a deeply traditional practice. While 'mooneh', translating to 'pantry' in Arabic, is the process of preserving seasonal goods, typically through drying and pickling. 'Summer is quite hot there so the season of vegetables and fruit is really short, so people find ways to preserve in the form of pickles, or nowadays they freeze quite a lot to keep things going for the rest of the year.' Couscous fritters with preserved lemon yoghurt are based on a dish his mum used to cook – 'Most recipes are based on memories' – and you're never too far from a dip in any Middle Eastern cuisine. Tamami transforms turnip tops by fermenting them for a creamy dip, and shows how to make green kishk, a fermented yoghurt and bulgar dip. Breakfasts are 'a treasured communal tradition,' he writes, and you'll still find the likes of olive oil, zaatar and tahini in the first meal of the day – 'in almost every meal' in fact. Big plates are traditionally laid out and shared, and he celebrates that with recipes like aubergine and fava beans with eggs, or cardamom pancakes with tahini, halva and carob. And sweet dishes – making use of the available fruit (think apricot, orange and almond cake, and sumac roast plums – are eaten all through the day. He smiles: 'I was lucky enough to grow up in Jerusalem where you can snack all day!' (Ebury/PA) Boustany by Sami Tamimi is published by Ebury. Photography by Ola O Smit. Available now

Europe's Trade Commissioner has ‘productive engagements' over US deal
Europe's Trade Commissioner says he has had a series of productive engagements throughout the week with his US counterpart. On social media, Maroš Šefčovič says no time or effort spared - their focus is on securing a forward looking deal. Advertisement Both sides are under pressure to reach a deal before July 9th, when a series of reciprocal tariffs are due to come into force. A series of productive engagements throughout this week with @USTradeRep Ambassador @jamiesongreer and Secretary @howardlutnick . No time or effort spared - our focus and priority remain clear: securing a forward-looking deal. — Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 (@MarosSefcovic) June 20, 2025 It comes as European shares rose on Friday after declining for three straight sessions, as a stall in the United States' involvement in the Middle East conflict helped soothe investor concerns. The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.6 per cent at 538.85 points. The benchmark is set to log a second consecutive weekly fall. Israel and Iran's air war entered a second week and European officials sought to draw Tehran back to the negotiating table. Advertisement The White House said President Donald Trump will decide within the next two weeks about whether to join Israel in the war. That helped improve market sentiment, spurring some interest in risk assets that were sold off earlier in the week on uncertainty around how long the conflict would go on. "The investors are taking a little bit more risk on their shoulders... it is perhaps because the U.S. is now giving itself two weeks and maybe some diplomatic opening window there to resolve the situation in Iran," said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior market analyst at Swissquote Bank. Banks rose 1.3 per cent, leading broader gains. Travel and leisure stocks SXTP were also up 1.3 per cent, led by a 4.8 per cent gain in Europe's largest travel operator TUI after Barclays upgraded the stock to "overweight" from "underweight". Advertisement Conversely, energy shares SXEP were at the bottom of the index with a 0.3 per cent decline but were headed for a weekly gain.

Read More Investors also remain wary of the approaching July 8th tariff-pause deadline, with little progress on trade deals with Washington. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is still aiming to reach a deal by July 9th. "Geopolitical tensions are kind of hiding the other worries in the market, which are trade negotiations being delayed with the U.S. occupied with what to do with the Middle East," said Ozkardeskaya. Trump's tariffs have been a source of turmoil and volatility in the last few months, and have already begun to upend global supply chains and threatened economic growth. Additional reporting Reuters
