Israel Foreign Minister Gideon Saar's response: "'Demilitarized' like after the Oslo Accords that brought about the second intifada and the suicide bombings? Like after the withdrawal from Gaza that led to the rise of Hams, the establishment of Hams’s terror empire, and October 7? You won't tell the Israelis what their interests are."

Several key departments within the government held secret meetings in which attendees' phones were confiscated. The meetings discussed a potential strike on Iran and the Iranian response, with each department evaluating its readiness for such a scenario.

So secret that they immediately made it in Twitter
IMHO the only questions are not that it'll happen, but the means and the time.

Israel Defense Minister Katz on a visit to the settlement of Sha-Nur after approving the establishment of 22 new settlements in Judea and Samaria: "This is a historic moment for settlement, a crushing answer to the terrorist organizations and a clear message to Macron and his friends: You will recognize a Palestinian state on paper and the paper will be thrown into the dustbin of history. Settlement in Judea and Samaria will strengthen, and the State of Israel will flourish and prosper. Do not threaten us with sanctions - you will not bring us to our knees, and we will not bow our heads in the face of threats."

Maybe they don't want them around when the shooting starts?
Their sole purpose for the visit was to publicly promote the establishment of a state of "Palestine" now to be located within the West Bank. Israel had just announced that many more Jewish settlements there would be approved and begin construction soon, threatening the viability of a new "Palestine". They wanted to publicly shame Israel in the eyes of the world to pressure it into yielding. Israel didn't fall for it.

The findings in the "comprehensive" International Atomic Energy Agency report requested by the agency's 35-nation Board of Governors in November pave the way for a push by the United States, Britain, France and Germany for the board to declare Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations.
A resolution would infuriate Iran and could further complicate nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
Using the IAEA report's findings, the four Western powers plan to submit a draft resolution for the board to adopt at its next meeting the week of June 9, diplomats say. It would be the first time in almost 20 years Iran has formally been found in non-compliance.
Iran's foreign ministry and the Iranian nuclear agency rejected the report, calling it "politically motivated" in a joint statement. They said Tehran will take "appropriate measures" in response to any effort to take action against the country at the Board of Governors meeting, state media reported, without elaborating.
Tehran says it wants to master nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and has long denied accusations by Western powers that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
While many of the findings relate to activities dating back decades and have been made before, the IAEA report's conclusions were more definitive. It summarised developments in recent years and pointed more clearly towards coordinated, secret activities, some of which were relevant to producing nuclear weapons.
It also spelled out that Iran's cooperation with IAEA continues to be "less than satisfactory" in "a number of respects". The IAEA is still seeking explanations for uranium traces found years ago at two of four sites it has been investigating. Three hosted secret experiments, it found.
The IAEA has concluded that "these three locations, and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured nuclear programme carried out by Iran until the early 2000s and that some activities used undeclared nuclear material", the report said.
Nuclear material and/or heavily contaminated equipment from that programme was stored at the fourth site, Turquzabad, between 2009 and 2018, it said.
"The Agency concludes that Iran did not declare nuclear material and nuclear-related activities at three undeclared locations in Iran, specifically, Lavisan-Shian, Varamin, and Turquzabad," the report said.
At Lavisan-Shian in Tehran, a disc made of uranium metal was "used in the production of explosively-driven neutron sources" at least twice in 2003, a process designed to initiate the explosion in a nuclear weapon, the report said, adding that it was part of "small-scale" tests.
The report is likely to lead to Iran being referred to the U.N. Security Council, though that would probably happen at a later IAEA board meeting, diplomats said.
More immediately, it is likely to lead to Iran again accelerating or expanding its rapidly advancing nuclear programme, as it has done after previous rebukes at the board. It could also further complicate talks with the United States aimed at reining in that programme.
Both IAEA reports said enrichment to such a high level was "of serious concern" since it is the only country to do so without producing nuclear weapons.
Israel, which has long urged strong action against Iran's nuclear programme, said the IAEA report showed Tehran was determined to complete its nuclear weapons programme. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the world should act now to stop Iran from doing this.
U.S. intelligence agencies and the IAEA have long believed Iran had a secret, coordinated nuclear weapons programme that it halted in 2003. Iran denies ever having had one.
Separately on Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said his Omani counterpart presented elements of a U.S. proposal for a nuclear deal between Tehran and Washington during a short visit to Tehran.
In Washington, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said later on Saturday that President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff "has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it's in their best interest to accept it." She declined to provide further details.
Araqchi said in a post on X that Iran "will respond to the U.S. proposal in line with the principles, national interests and rights of people of Iran".
His statement came ahead of an anticipated sixth round of talks between Washington and Tehran. The date and venue of talks have not yet been announced.

Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran
By Francois MurphyMay 31, 2025 2:11 PM PDT Updated an hour ago
- Summary
- IAEA board requested 'comprehensive' report on Iran
- Describes past secret programme, current poor cooperation
- Western powers plan resolution against Iran at board
- Resolution would declare Iran in breach of obligations
- Iran's stock of near-bomb-grade uranium jumps again
The findings in the "comprehensive" International Atomic Energy Agency report requested by the agency's 35-nation Board of Governors in November pave the way for a push by the United States, Britain, France and Germany for the board to declare Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations.

URANIUM ENRICHMENT
A separate IAEA report sent to member states on Saturday said Iran's stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons grade, had grown by roughly half to 408.6 kg. That is enough, if enriched further, for nine nuclear weapons, according to an IAEA yardstick.Both IAEA reports said enrichment to such a high level was "of serious concern" since it is the only country to do so without producing nuclear weapons.
Israel, which has long urged strong action against Iran's nuclear programme, said the IAEA report showed Tehran was determined to complete its nuclear weapons programme. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the world should act now to stop Iran from doing this.

On and On, South of Heaven
And, halfway in, this peace treaty with the Jews gets the Treaty of Hudaybiyya treatment.
Arafat compared the unpopularity of the Oslo Accords with Israel among Muslims with the Hudaybiyyah Treaty signed by Muhammed in 628. In that treaty, Muhammad agreed to a ten year truce with the Quraysh tribe who controlled Mecca.
Two years in, Muhammad declared the treaty void and conquered Mecca.

HAMAS REJECTS CEASEFIRE OFFER (AGAIN): A few hours ago, Hams notified the Americans that they had accepted Witkoff's updated offer, with just a few "minor" changes. Needless to say, this "acceptance" is yet another rejection
Hams demanded that the outline be updated with a 2-7 YEAR permanent ceasefire, a total IDF withdrawal, resumption of aid OUTSIDE of the new framework, and immediate reconstruction of Gaza.
To add insult to injury, they also wanted to only release 4 hostages on the first day, 2 hostages on the 30th day, and 4 hostages on the 60th day.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued an unusual Shabbat response to the IAEA report:
"This is a serious and unequivocal report on Iran's nuclear program. It is a clear warning signal: Iran is absolutely determined to complete its nuclear weapons program. The report reinforces what Israel has been claiming for years - Iran's nuclear program is not for peaceful purposes."
"Such enrichment levels only exist in a country that actively strives to achieve nuclear weapons."
"The international community must act now to stop Iran!"

This was debunked hours ago. The non-stop lies about and incitement against Israel on social media and in major outlets produce deadly results for Jews around the world--just like the antisemitic terror attack we are witnessing in Boulder today.
