Trump says Gabbard was wrong on Iran, warns Israeli strikes may be hard to halt

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was “wrong” to suggest earlier this year that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, and warned that it could be “very hard to stop” Israel’s ongoing strikes against Iranian targets.Speaking after landing in New Jersey for a political fundraiser, Trump dismissed Gabbard’s March congressional testimony in which she said U.S. intelligence agencies did not believe Iran was assembling nuclear warheads.“Well then, my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?” he said. Told it was Gabbard, Trump replied, “She’s wrong.”Gabbard later responded on X, saying her remarks were misrepresented: “America has intelligence that Iran...

Israel strikes Iranian nuclear facility, prepares for extended conflict

TEHRAN — Israel struck a nuclear research facility in Iran early Saturday and killed multiple senior Iranian commanders, as its military warned of a potentially protracted war aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The Israeli military said the overnight strike targeted two centrifuge production sites near a mountain in Isfahan in a two-phase operation. It was the second attack on the city since the war began on June 13.

An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said recent operations had disabled over half of Iran’s missile and drone launchers. He described Iran’s retaliatory drone...

China sends dozens of planes across central line in Taiwan Strait

BEIJING — China dispatched 74 military aircraft towards the Taiwan Strait between late Thursday and early Friday, with 61 of them crossing its median line, the Taiwanese defence ministry has said.The incursion, which represents one of the largest in recent months, began a day after the UK sailed a navy ship across the strait, in a move welcomed by Taipei but condemned by Beijing.The Chinese planes were sent in two separate waves, with six naval vessels also accompanying the maneuvers, according to Taiwan.Beijing regards the democratically governed island as part of its own territory and has stepped up such deployments to demonstrate its readiness to encircle and potentially invade Taiwan.Analysts say the moves are also aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s population and exhausting its...
