Iraqis fear Israeli retaliation after Iran attack
Hundreds of missiles and drones have escalated the conflict between Iran and Israel, with Iraq caught in the crossfire.

Iran to restart activities at Arak nuclear facility, says official
Iran announced it will restart activities at its Arak heavy-water reactor, reversing commitments made under the 2015 nuclear accord. This decision follows the US withdrawal from the agreement and ongoing tensions with European signatories. Iranian officials emphasize that their actions are reversible if other parties fulfill their commitments. The move is part of Iran's strategy to gain leverage in diplomatic negotiations, particularly with European nations. The EU reaffirmed its commitment to the JCPOA, but no breakthrough was achieved. Tensions remain high, especially following recent maritime incidents involving the UK and Iran.

Iran, Israel Appear To Step Back From Moves To Spark Wider Regional Conflict
Iran and Israel are de-escalating actions and rhetoric that could lead to a broader Middle East conflict following a series of retaliatory attacks. Tehran downplayed the impact of a suspected Israeli strike near Isfahan, which was reportedly in response to an unprecedented Iranian air attack.
