The Israel-Iran confrontation has taken a dramatic turn, with Israel claiming to have eliminated high-ranking military personnel in its assaults on Iranian targets. Israeli PM Netanyahu boldly declared, "What they have felt so far is nothing compared to what they will experience in the coming days." Egypt's Foreign Minister cautions of a raging inferno engulfing the region.
In an unexpected move, the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US, expected on Sunday, have been scrapped. "The talks between Iran & the US, scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, will not occur. Diplomacy & dialogue remain our sole means to securing a lasting peace," Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi tweeted, given Oman's role as a mediator in the talks.

Tensions between Iran and the US have been running high since mid-April, with Israel, the US, and Western nations expressing fears that Iran might be covertly developing nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes. AComprehensive 2015 nuclear accord known as the Vienna nuclear deal, involving China, Russia, the US, France, Germany, and the UK, had Iran agree to limit its nuclear program. However, Trump's withdrawal in 2018 and subsequent sanctions have strained relations.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu openly threatened additional attacks on Iran: "We will hit every facility and target of the ayatollah regime." He emphasized, "What they have experienced thus far, is only a fraction of the avalanche they will soon face." Allegedly, these attacks have dealt a substantial setback—if not by years—to Iran's nuclear program.
