Israel changing ‘the world' with Iran war: Netanyahu
JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel was 'changing the face of the world' in its war with Iran, as he welcomed 'all help' in destroying the Islamic republic's nuclear sites. 'I said that we're changing the face of the Middle East, and now I say we're changing the face of the world,' he told public broadcaster Kansas Seven days into the war, Netanyahu said Israeli forces were ahead of schedule in their offensive against Iranian nuclear and missile sites, but refused to provide a clear timeline for an end to the most intense confrontation in history with arch foe Tehran. 'We are at war. I'm not going to reveal our timeline. I'm not going to tell them (the Iranians) what we're preparing,' said Netanyahu. 'When you enter a war, you know when it begins, but not when it ends,' he added. He said Israel had already destroyed 'more than half' of Iran's missile launchers and was 'capable of striking all of Iran's nuclear facilities.' But, in an apparent nod to key ally the United States, Netanyahu added: 'All help is welcome.' During his interview with Kan, Netanyahu went on to say that US President Donald Trump 'will do what is good for for the United States, and I will do what is good for the State of Israel.' Following the remarks, Trump offered a fresh timeline for a possible US intervention in the conflict, saying in a statement that he would decide whether to attack Iran within the next two weeks due to a 'substantial' chance of negotiations.

Israeli Strikes in Iran Have Killed at Least 406 People, Says Rights Group
Israeli strikes in Iran have killed at least 406 people and wounded another 654, a human rights group said Sunday. The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists said its figures covered the entirety of Iran. Iran's government has not offered any overall casualty figures from Israeli attacks that have decimated its military leadership and targeted its nuclear sites. Individual officials have offered piecemeal figures. Human Rights Activists, which also had provided casualty figures during 2022 anti-government protests in Iran, crosschecks local reports in Iran against a network of sources it has developed in the country. So far, its death toll breakdown included at least 197 civilians, 90 members of the military and 119 others it could not identify. The wounded included 100 civilians, 71 troops and 483 others it could not identify.
