That guy is really playing ball.
Jordan and Saudi Arabia also aided Israel with intercepting Iranian missiles. Has Iran sponsored its last terror group? It seems they're all tired of the instability in the region. Like it's time to be adults and fully join the developed world...

REP. RANDY FINE: Nuking Gaza would be a terrible idea. The fallout would drift into Israel. It would kill the hostages.
CNN: But you're not worried about it killing women and children in Gaza?
FINE: I think war is a messy thing ... I believe the Palestinianism in Gaza is on level of evil that we saw in Japan and we saw in Germany in World War 2

israel hits iranian state tv during live broadcast
On one hand, oh snap! On the other that was a targeted attack on journalists, which probably should be a war crime if it isn't already.
Sent a pretty powerful message though

Well since the IDF leadership went on live TV in a directed announcement to tell all Iranian civilians living in the area around the State run media building immediately to evacuate and then ,2 hrs later they hit the state run television station
Pretty sure they can't claim it was an unintentional targeting

Seems like a bit a wishful thinking, but I'd take it.

Trump does not intend to sign joint G7 statement on Iran
President Donald Trump does not intend to sign a joint statement calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran that had been drafted by G7 leaders in Canada, according to a person familiar with the matter, though officials preparing the document held out hope that he could eventually be convinced to add his name.The draft statement, which had been spearheaded by European officials at the summit, says Israel has a right to defend itself and that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon.
Trump’s decision not to sign on to the statement set up an immediate divide with his counterparts as the summit was getting underway in the Canadian Rockies.
Hours before the conference was set to convene, talks were ongoing among the G7 delegations about language in the draft statement.
European officials, led by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, were hoping to finalize a consensus among the leaders about the Middle East situation alongside the summit’s host, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
But Trump, who has questioned the utility of multilateral organizations like the G7, intends for now to withhold his signature, preventing for now a show of resolve from the world’s leading democracies.
“Under the strong leadership of President Trump, the United States is back to leading the effort to restore peace around the world. President Trump will continue to work towards ensuring Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon,” a White House official said in response to a question about Trump’s plans when it came to the joint statement.
A senior Canadian official said delegations representing the seven G7 leaders would continue to work on the language of the statement, and that European leaders in particular are still engaged in the hopes of reaching a consensus.
“This is not a done deal yet, this is something that will be discussed at the leader level. We expect that the bulk of that conversation will happen in the global security session this evening. It’s too early to speculate on what will or will not come out of that conversation,” the senior Canadian official said.
At the very least, none of them want Iran to have nukes.

A Battered Iran Signals It Wants to De-Escalate Hostilities With Israel and Negotiate
DUBAI—Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials it would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. Iran also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.
But with Israeli warplanes able to fly freely over the capital and Iranian counterattacks inflicting minimal damage, Israeli leaders have little incentive to halt their assault before doing more to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites and further weaken the theocratic government’s hold on power.
Israeli strikes have killed key military leaders, including much of the top echelon of Iran’s air force, leaving Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei increasingly isolated. But the impact on nuclear facilities has been modest and analysts say it could take a long air war to get the results Israel wants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacks will continue until Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication he is ready to stop. He has also said regime change isn’t a goal but could be a result given the Iranian leadership’s weakness.
