Israel said it killed Iran's minister of intelligence, Esmail Khatib, in an overnight strike Wednesday. The announcement came after Iran attacked Israel in missile strikes that killed two people.

U.S. counterterrorism official Joe Kent became the first senior Trump administration member to resign over the Iran war. Israel killed two top Iranian officials, dealing another blow to the regime.

With the Iran war entering a third week, Israel said it plans for at least three more weeks of war, while President Trump demanded other countries help the U.S. secure the vital Strait of Hormuz.

Israel announced a barrage of new strikes on western Iran on Sunday, while Iran's foreign minister said the country has not asked for a ceasefire as President Trump had claimed.

In a post on Truth Social, President Trump claimed the U.S. had "destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability." The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, meanwhile, urged Americans to "leave Iraq immediately."

President Trump said on Friday the U.S. military had "totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island." This, as all six crew members on a refueling plane that went down in western Iraq were confirmed dead.

Security officers at Temple Israel "engaged with the suspect" after a vehicle rammed into the building, according to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Iran's state media issued what it said was a statement by Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and keep up attacks on U.S. bases in the region.

A military assessment suggests a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile was responsible for at least 165 deaths at an Iranian girls' school, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The Iran war ground through 12th day as uncertainty grew over when it might end, amid continued attacks, a mounting human toll and concerns over the economic and energy impacts.
