🔸 Netanyahu’s reported UAE visit: Prime Minister Netanyahu is traveling to the UAE today to meet Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed, Israeli Channel 12 reported. The report said the Iranian threat is central to the meeting.
🔸 Trump expects further Iran talks: President Trump told Axios: "I expect U.S. negotiators to engage in more talks with Iran this week".
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi said: "If they are serious that they want a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, now there is the possibility. We have offered this seven-day plan. We want them to do certain things which they can do in four, five days, and then on the sixth the Strait will be open, on day seven we resume talks for the final deal. There is a very reasonable plan on the table. If they reject it with no reason, this is their fault. And I have to say that although we heard from President Trump that he is rejecting this deal, we are still waiting for an official response through the mediators".
Asked whether he is considering resuming strikes against Iran, President Trump told Axios: 'I am always thinking about it'.
⚠️ Iranian military warning and threats: The Iranian military said: "The US may launch a military attack because its situation in the region is deteriorating".
Iranian Armed Forces Spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi said: "We will bring Trump and Netanyahu to justice. The timing is not the issue. We will hold those responsible for the assassination of the late revolutionary leader and the children of Minab accountable for their actions. We consider Trump and Netanyahu guilty in this matter".
❌ Arrests near RAF Fairford: British police said several men were arrested under the Explosives Act following a 'major incident' near RAF Fairford, a UK base hosting U.S. Air Force aircraft. Homes in nearby Whelford were evacuated while Army bomb disposal teams examined several vehicles. Police said the incident appeared to be contained.
RAF Fairford has been used to deploy U.S. bombers since the Iran conflict began on February 28. British security sources told The Telegraph: "Counter-terrorism police are investigating whether Iran was behind the bomb plot targeting RAF Fairford".
President Trump said: "The arrest in the UK was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort, and working with the British worked out great. We had them under view for a long time, and we got them".
⚖️ Reported preparations for ICC case against Erdogan: Prime Minister Netanyahu has instructed an interministerial team and legal officials to prepare a case against Turkish President Erdogan at the International Criminal Court (ICC), Israeli i24 News reported. The proposed case would focus on Turkey's 'treatment of its Kurdish population' and allegations that the Erdogan-led Turkish government has provided financial support to Hamas.
Neither Israel nor Turkey is a party to the ICC's Rome Statute. Israeli officials are considering pursuing the case through a third country. Sources cited by i24 News said Israel views the potential proceedings primarily as leverage against Erdogan and does not necessarily intend to file the case.
