'Iran Will Destroy Zionism': Israel PM Shares Father's 2010 Speech On Tehran
As Tel Aviv and Tehran continue to trade missiles into the ninth day of the aerial conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shared an old video of his father, Professor Benzion Netanyahu's address from 2010. In his speech delivered on his 100th birthday, Benzion Netanyahu warned his son and Israel about the existential threat to Jews from Iran. He said, "The Jewish people's existence is in question due to the threats to annihilate us, which are openly declared by our enemies," he said. He specifically mentioned Iran as the primary source of threat, saying that once it possessed nuclear weapons, it would cause massive destruction to eliminate Zionism. The people of Israel are responding bravely instead of panicking, he added. "On one hand, Iran vows that Zionism will be destroyed when Iran possesses nuclear weapons. On the other hand, the people of Israel are showing the world how a nation should behave when facing an existential threat: stare unflinchingly at the danger, calmly consider what needs to be done, and be ready to enter the fray when the chances of success are reasonable," he said. The former Cornell University historian, who died in 2012, added that despite being under threat from its enemies, the people of Israel have shown strength and courage. "A powerful stance requires tremendous inner strength. The people of Israel show today that they have such strength, and this leads to my certain belief that our people will remove this danger," he said. Professor Benzion Netanyahu conveyed a paramount lesson and important message to his son, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and to a distinguished audience that gathered to honor the professor on his 100th birthday. "Since time is short, I will limit my remarks to one general… — Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) June 20, 2025 'The nation of Israel is showing the world today how a state should behave when it stands before an existential threat: by looking danger in the eye,' he said in the same address, according to The Week. He believed that Israel shouldn't make any compromises or negotiations with the Palestinians to protect the country, as Arabs by nature are "incapable of any compromise or agreement, and that there is no solution but force," according to the same report. As the Israel-Iran conflict intensified, US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was open to giving negotiations and talks another chance before taking a call on whether to directly get involved in the war. The aerial confrontation began after the Benjamin Netanyahu government bombarded Iran's military and nuclear facilities, claiming the strike was necessary to prevent Tehran from producing nuclear weapons.

Indian students in Iran to be relocated Foreign Ministry
New Delhi is planning to relocate some Indian students in Iran to "safer places" within the country, and is also exploring "other feasible options" for their safety, the Indian foreign ministry said on Monday. More than 1,500 Indian students, most of them from the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, are stranded in Iran, the NDTV news channel said on Monday. Parents of the stranded Indian students have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, requesting their intervention to ensure the safe return of their children, local media said. Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" on Friday against Iran, which retaliated with missiles attacks against the Jewish state. Since then, both countries have launched further missile barrages against each other. The majority of Indian students in Iran, who are primarily pursuing medical degrees in cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, and Qom, are now awaiting assistance to return home, the NDTV news channel has reported. On Monday the Indian Embassy in Tehran said it isclosely monitoringthe security situation and is in constant touch with the students. The embassy, which on Sunday, advised all Indian nationals and Persons of Indian Origin to remain vigilant, has provided a link to a Google Docs form on its X account to provide their contact details. The mission has also provided a link to a Telegram group and asked Indian citizens to join it to receive updates. All flights to and from Iran have been suspended, with the country's airspace remaining indefinitely closed for commercial aviation. According to a report by news magazine The Week, five Indian students, including three from Kashmir and two from Maharashtra, were injured in Israeli airstrikes. "Around 300 of us were shifted to a safer location, which I cannot reveal for security reasons," a student was quoted as saying to the magazine. New Delhi has requested that Tehran facilitates the safe evacuation of its stranded citizens. Iran said on Monday that although the country's airspace is currently closed, all land borders remained open, allowing for safe evacuation. India enjoys warm ties with Iran's neighbor Armenia, which is seen as a safe destination for Indian students. (

ABC News Suspends Terry Moran After ‘World-Class Hater' Trump Tweet
ABC News suspended senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he issued a lengthy attack on Steven Bannon and Donald Trump on X. Moran referred to both men as a 'world-class hater' in the since-deleted missive. 'ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,' a representative from ABC News told TheWrap. 'The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.' The tweet was pounced on by officials in the Trump administration, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who described Moran's tweet as 'unhinged and unacceptable.' JD Vance also slammed Moran's message. 'An ABC journalist @TerryMoran posted this absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller. It's dripping with hatred. Remember that every time you watch ABC's coverage of the Trump administration,' Vance wrote on X. 'As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he's motivated by love of country. He's motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well connected people don't.' 'It's why he fought so hard to get President Trump elected and why he works to hard to implement the agenda,' Vance added before insisting the network should issue an apology to Miller. Moran posted his message following news Trump sent 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell protests against ICE raids in the city. Trump has been at odds with ABC since George Stephanopoulos said on 'The Week' the president was found 'liable for rape' by a jury in a separate lawsuit brought by author Jean E. Carroll. The jury found Trump was 'liable for sexually abusing and defaming' Carroll, but the judge in the case also noted that finding 'does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'' Trump and the network settled the lawsuit in December. The post ABC News Suspends Terry Moran After 'World-Class Hater' Trump Tweet appeared first on TheWrap.
