Another night of missiles between Iran and Israel, with Tehran announcing that it also used hypersonic ones and the IDF assuring that it hit sites for Tehran's nuclear program.

And Khamenei responds to Trump's ultimatum: "The battle begins, we will show no mercy," he writes in a post on X.

Yesterday, the US president issued an ultimatum to Tehran, demanding an "unconditional surrender" and threatening the Supreme Leader: "We know where Khamenei is, we will not eliminate him for now" . Trump is seriously considering going to war and launching an attack against Iran , according to US media, citing sources who spoke after yesterday's security meeting at the White House. But not all Republicans would agree.

The Guardian also reports on another post by Khamenei on X, explaining that, quoting a verse from the Koran, he wrote: "Help from Allah and imminent conquest. The Islamic Republic will triumph over the Zionist regime by the will of God."

Tehran is preparing missiles and other military equipment to attack American bases in the Middle East if the United States joins Israel's war. Iran may also plant mines in the Strait of Hormuz to block American warships in the Persian Gulf.

Overnight, the IDF struck centrifuge production sites used in Iran's nuclear and weapons program, while Tehran again struck Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, also using hypersonic missiles that bypassed the Iron Dome defense system.

At the end of the G7 , Giorgia Meloni also spoke: "The goal is to reach negotiations that allow Iran not to become a nuclear power. We are moving towards escalation but a different scenario is still possible" , said the Prime Minister, rejecting the hypothesis of mediation by Vladimir Putin.
