Mossad director David Barnea has arrived in the US to discuss Iran strategy with key officials. He's set to meet with White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami to hash out plans regarding potential strikes on Iran. ¹ ² Barnea's visit comes amid reports of harsh violence by the Iranian government against protesters. The US and Israel are reportedly concerned about Iran's nuclear enrichment and missile programs. Barnea spoke with President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu, discussing Iran strategy. Netanyahu reportedly asked Trump to delay any military strike on Iran, seeking more time for Israel to prepare for potential retaliation. The US is weighing its options, with some countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia urging caution. The situation remains fluid, with the US monitoring Iran's actions closely. Trump's administration has warned Iran of consequences if violence against protesters continues.
UK foreign secretary calls for ceasefire to be 'implemented in full'
A brief statement from David Lammy now.
The UK foreign secretary has just posted on social media site X: "After 491 days of agony, 3 more hostages - including Eli Sharabi who has strong UK links - have finally been released.
"They and their families have suffered an unimaginable ordeal.
"The ceasefire deal must be implemented in full, including the release of the remaining hostages."
Sharabi's wife was born in Bristol and his brother-in-law is still based in the country, where he spoke to us after seeing Eli released from captivity (see our 10.36am post).
