Al Jazeera News Updates — US and Israel attack Iran, Injuries across Israel. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
The rhetoric between the United States and Iran has become increasingly threatening, despite diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation. Washington has urged Tehran to accept defeat. White House spokesperson Carolyn Levit warned the U.S. will unleash hell on Iran if it doesn't agree to a deal to end the war. But Iran's foreign minister Abbas Iraqi insists no negotiations are underway and says President Trump's talk of negotiations proves that the U.S. is losing the fight. The fact that the talk of negotiations now being raised is, in itself, a clear admission of defeat. Weren't they previously speaking about unconditional surrender? What has happened now that they are talking about negotiations and requesting them? I will explain that there is no negotiation taking place, but the very fact that they are mobilizing their highest ranking officials to negotiate with the Islamic Republic indicates that they have accepted defeat.
Meanwhile, strikes continue across the Middle East. Two children were killed in an attack on a residential area in the city of Shiraz in South Central Iran. And in the United Arab Emirates, debris from a missile interception killed two people in the capital Abu Zabi. The White House's threats against Iran come as the U.S. moves more troops and more warships into the Middle East. That's while insisting that Tehran has been militarily destroyed and is desperate for a deal. Iran has been sending several missiles and rockets towards Israel. There have been powerful explosions in Tel Aviv in Central Israel, at least four people have been injured due to falling debris from missile interceptions. Also in Central Israel, there have been explosions and rocket debris across Kafir Khasim. At least six people there have been injured. The city is home to Palestinian Israelis. There has also been an attack on Haifa in the north. Israel is targeting villages in southern Lebanon as the conflict with Iran's ally Hezbollah
enters its fourth week. Israeli ground troops are advancing into Lebanese territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is expanding what he calls a buffer zone in Lebanon. Join us for the latest season of the Doha-Devates podcast with true seeking conversations about our modern world. We'll ask big questions and hear different perspectives. I'm Mohammad Hassan and this season we bring together voices from across the globe to test and challenge ideas, explore meaning, and discuss the issues shaping our lives.
