US supporting Gaza genocide 

Death and destruction continue to ravage Gaza, as the Israeli military presses ahead with its intense attacks across the blockaded territory. In one the latest strikes, six civilans were killed after a house was bombed in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. Earlier, two people were killed and several others injured in an airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians near Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Israeli drone strikes on the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, were also deadly with at least two children among the fatalities. Meanwhile, the Israeli artillery fire targeted several areas across Gaza, including in the southern city of Rafah, where at least three citizens waiting to receive aid were killed, and nearly 50 others wounded. According to Gaza officials, the death toll from the US-Israeli genocide since October 2023 has already surpassed 54,000, with over 123,100 others injured.

Israel psychological crisis 

An Israeli mental health organization has reported a sharp rise in psychological distress among the regime’s forces and their families since the beginning of the Gaza genocide in 2023. It says over five-hundred-thousand Israelis have sought mental help since then, with young adults accounting for the highest number of calls. ERAN, which is a nongovernmental organization, says the psychological distress among active forces, reservists and their families is shifting from trauma to depression. It noted that the surge in psychological problems among Israelis is an indication of a prolonged mental health crisis. The report, which was released on the eve of the 600th day of the Gaza war, described a growing phenomenon of “survivor’s guilt” among Israeli reservists. ERAN reported receiving 66,000 calls from soldiers and their relatives since October 2023, adding that the actual number of soldiers with psychological problems is much higher. An earlier report by Israeli army had also revealed that at least, thirty-five soldiers have committed suicide since the beginning of the Gaza war, marking the highest toll in over thirteen years. 

Iran nuclear talks 

The Iranian Foreign Minister has slammed the UK’s stance on Iran's right to uranium enrichment. Abbas Araghchi says denying that right will leave no ground for dialogue between the two countries. In a social media post, Araghchi said Iran has maintained “multilateral engagement” with the UK and other European parties to the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. He said Iran's engagement with European countries was a sign of “good faith,” even as Washington shows no interest in getting them involved in the ongoing talks with Tehran. The top diplomat warned that if the UK’s position is "zero enrichment" in Iran there is nothing left for the two countries to discuss on the nuclear issue. Araghchi stressed that such a position would be in violation of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the UK’s commitments as a remaining party to the 2015 agreement. His remarks came after Peter Mandelson, the British ambassador to the US, said his country strongly supports President Donald Trump's position on enrichment in Iran.
