In a dramatic revelation, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has unveiled the strategic reasoning behind his group's delay in retaliating for the assassination of Fuad Shukr.
According to Nasrallah, the postponement was not merely a wait-and-see approach but a deliberate and bold tactic designed to keep Israel on edge.
He emphasised that the delay allowed Hezbollah to monitor the outcome of ongoing Gaza truce negotiations and assess the potential response from the "axis of Resistance," which includes Iran and its regional allies.
Nasrallah’s announcement sheds light on Hezbollah's strategic calculus, revealing that the timing of their response was intended to maximise psychological and tactical impact.
The delay was also a calculated move to punish Israel by keeping it in suspense for nearly a month, demonstrating Hezbollah's capacity for strategic patience and complex planning.
Donald Trump has said Israel has agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, and is urging Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. Sky News

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

The Muslim World League has strongly condemned Iran’s strikes on U.S. bases in Qatar, calling them a blatant violation of Islamic values. This rare rebuke underscores Iran’s deepening isolation within the Muslim world amid its war against the U.S. and Israel. No Islamic nation has come to Iran’s aid—militarily or diplomatically. Long criticized for its expansionist policies and use of proxies, Iran now finds itself increasingly abandoned as regional powers step back, signaling a collapse of strategic tolerance.

Amid rising Iran-Israel tensions, the Israeli military has killed senior Hezbollah commander Mohammad Khadr al-Husseini in southern Lebanon, citing an urgent threat to its northern border. The strike follows Hezbollah’s pledge to retaliate against Israeli and U.S. actions. Two other key Hezbollah commanders were also killed earlier this week. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israel’s patience has run out. This comes as Hezbollah, once Tehran’s strongest proxy, reels from leadership losses, financial strain, and disrupted supply lines after Syria’s fall, signaling deep cracks in Iran's regional resistance axis.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on July 7 to meet U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating efforts to end the 20-month-long Gaza war. The meeting will focus on securing a ceasefire, releasing hostages held for nearly two years, and addressing regional tensions with Iran following a recent U.S.-brokered halt to their 12-day air war. Israel is also pushing the U.S. to pressure Qatar to negotiate concessions from Hamas. This marks Netanyahu’s third meeting with Trump since January 2025. #Netanyahu #Trump #WhiteHouseMeeting #GazaWar #MiddleEastPeace #HostageCrisis #Israel #Hamas #IranTensions #Ceasefire #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #MideastConflict #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #TrumpNetanyahuMeeting #GazaCeasefire #MideastDiplomacy #HostageNegotiations #USIsraelRelations #MiddleEastCrisis #IranIsraelConflict #QatarMediation #PeaceNegotiations #ConflictResolution #WarAndPeace

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the region’s most densely populated areas.
