The U.S. ambassador to the U.N. says the war with Iran could last another year, but he hopes Tehran will "come to the table" sooner.

Iran has signaled that it is preparing for another round of war with the United States and has issued public threats against Washington and its allies in an apparent bid to deter President Donald Trump from restarting the current conflict.

Already frustrated with President Donald Trump’s decision to launch the war with Iran, Gulf states are increasingly concerned the U.S. could reduce its military presence in the Middle East after the conflict ends.

Israeli media reported on Sunday that an "unprecedented confrontation" is unfolding between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, as the army chief is resisting an order to take unspecified military action related to Iran ahead of Tuesday's Knesset elections.

Defence Minister Israel Katz has dismissed reports of a confrontation between PM Netanyahu and the IDF Chief regarding potential military action against Iran, labeling claims of an election-eve strike as baseless and false.

An Iran-linked hacking group, Handala, says it infiltrated an Israeli military medical unit and released hundreds of records, including medical staff information, internal communications and combat medical protocols.

Talks involving Saudi Arabia and its defense partners in Tehran may offer a final diplomatic opportunity before a collective military response, a regional affairs analyst said Monday, amid attacks on Saudi territory and threats of renewed US-Iran fighting.
