Israel is preparing to liquidate senior Iranian officials!
American officials have warned Tehran that Israel might target high-ranking Iranian officials involved in peace talks with the United States, according to reports by 'The New York Times' and CNN citing American sources. The reports suggest that Washington had already conveyed concerns to Tehran during the spring, indicating potential targets such as President of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf or Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi. The U.S. reportedly communicated this through intermediaries. President Trump previously avoided disclosing who the U.S. was negotiating with in Iran, stating he did not want those individuals to be killed. Israel has denied plans to assassinate Iranian negotiators. According to the report, on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. In the early days of the conflict, Israel allegedly targeted several high-level political and religious figures in Iran, including Ali Larijani, head of Iranian intelligence, who was seen as a possible negotiation partner. The killing of these figures could further jeopardize fragile and uncertain peace negotiations. CNN reported that Trump

The U.S. conducted airstrikes against Iran in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which President Donald Trump described as a 'foolish violation' of a ceasefire. The U.S. Central Command targeted missile and drone positions, as well as coastal radar sites in Iran. The incident occurred amid ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to finalize a permanent end to their conflict. The attack disrupted efforts by the International Maritime Organization to evacuate stranded ships through an alternative route along the coast of Oman, halting operations until assurances of safety could be provided. Approximately 115 ships had already managed to exit the strait, but around 500 remained stuck. The alternative route was intended to ease global economic pressures and reduce Iran's leverage in peace talks, which include discussions on allowing ships to pass through the strait and managing Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

The United States reportedly urged Middle Eastern nations to warn Iran about potential Israeli assassination plots targeting high-ranking officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, fearing such actions could disrupt ongoing ceasefire negotiations that began in early April. According to The New York Times, U.S. officials expressed concerns that killing these individuals could derail the talks and reignite hostilities. The conflict began on February 28 with an Israeli strike that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials, partly based on U.S. intelligence. While the U.S. focused its military efforts on Iran's navy and missile forces, Israel initially targeted Iranian leadership, aiming to eliminate key figures. This included the deaths of Ali Larijani and Kamal Kharazi, who were seen as potential negotiating partners. As the ceasefire talks progressed, tensions arose between U.S. goals for peace and Israeli skepticism about halting the conflict.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards conducted retaliatory strikes against U.S. military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, responding to recent U.S. attacks on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has strained a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire agreement aimed at ending the ongoing regional tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. claimed its strikes targeted Iranian surveillance infrastructure and drone storage facilities in response to attacks on oil tankers. Meanwhile, Iran warned of severe consequences for any further aggression, stating that 'any enemy aggression... will have a crushing response.' U.S. President Donald Trump threatened that Iran 'will no longer exist' if the U.S. is forced to resume the war.
