Video: Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to strike Iran Israel tried to pressure Barack Obama to launch military strikes on Iran, according to former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said Israeli leaders warned they would attack themselves if Washington refused. Obama rejected the push for war, arguing the better approach to Iran’s nuclear program was "very muscular diplomacy" backed by global sanctions rather than immediate military action. Blinken also revealed the US nearly entered another regional war after the October 7 attacks, when Israeli officials gave false information, insisting Hezbollah was about to attack from Lebanon and pushed for a pre-emptive strike. According to Blinken, Washington came within about 30 minutes of a new conflict before the situation was halted.  "And we came within about 30 minutes of having a war." pic.twitter.com/imZ1OOfGVL March 9, 2026

Araghchi says appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei ensures Iranian unity Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday pledged allegiance to the country’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, saying his appointment guarantees Iran’s sovereignty and national unity. The remarks came after the Assembly of Experts selected Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an air strike by the United States and Israel. Araqchi said the new leader’s selection reflects the will of the Iranian nation and strengthens unity in the face of external pressure. Iranian military leaders and political officials have also pledged allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s third supreme leader since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Australia must protect the visiting Iranian women's football team, the son of the nation's late shah urged Monday, warning their refusal to sing the national anthem before a match could have "dire consequences". Iranian players refused to sing ahead of an Asian Cup tournament match in Australia last week -- a gesture widely seen as an act of defiance against the Islamic republic. US-based Reza Pahlavi lent his voice to a growing chorus calling for Australia to offer the women asylum, joining politicians, human rights activists and even author J.K Rowling.
