US officials have said that Israel was planning to murder key Iranian negotiators during US-initiated talks in an attempt to sabotage any peace. Israel attempted to murder Palestinian peace negotiators in Qatar in 2025 but missed. The occupation did murder senior negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in 2024 to end potential talks for an end to Israel’s Gaza genocide. Israel lobbied the US in May 2026 to murder one of its targets and the US and Israel have slaughtered senior officials and their families since the latest war began. So the US officials’ assessment is entirely credible. Israel plan thwarted Israel’s…

Iran has launched at least two and as many as five (so far) waves of drones and at least ten ballistic missiles against Israel. The strikes, described by Tehran as a “warning shot”, came in retaliation for Israel attacking Dahiyeh in southern Beirut. Iran had warned Israel that it would strike its north if Netanyahu launched attacks on Dahiyeh. Israel claimed to have shot down all the incoming barrage, but even UK state-corporate media have reported numerous successful strikes. The attack was the first direct Iranian retaliation against Israel in two months. Local footage also appears to show missiles reaching targets:…

Liverpool have entered formal discussions with Andoni Iraola over the vacant head coach role after Arne Slot’s dismissal, with the process being driven by sporting director Richard Hughes. The move marks a rapid attempt by the club to stabilise a dressing room and a playing identity that has felt unsettled since Slot’s departure.

The sporting director brought him to Bournemouth in 2023 and watched the team flourish under his methods. That existing relationship gives Liverpool a rare shortcut in recruitment familiarity…
