⚠️ REPORTS OF INTERNAL U.S. DISPUTES OVER IRAN AGREEMENT: MSN reported that President Trump warned Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: "If you continue to oppose the agreement with Iran, you will be fired from your positions."
According to U.S. sources cited by Israel Hayom, Trump is considering dismissing several senior officials who opposed the Iran deal, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
"The argument has been settled. Those who opposed it may pay a personal price," a senior U.S. official told Israel Hayom.
Israel Hayom reported that Rubio, for the time being, appears to be enjoying immunity because he has been careful not to criticize the agreement and also enjoys considerable popularity.

"In parallel with the defensive battle, the Air Force launched an offensive 1,500km from home. Within a few hours, dozens of targets in Iran were struck, significantly damaging the Iranian air defense system and hitting additional regime components," he wrote.
Tischler said that by the afternoon of June 8, "the entire Air Force was ready to take off for a broad strike sortie," which would have included strikes on "hundreds of targets in the heart of Iran."
