Live: US attacks Iran, Tehran vows swift response

Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has proposed a bill to ban trade with Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine, declaring them an impediment to peace.

The Norwegian government said on Friday that it had submitted a bill with legally binding stipulations for consultation. The proposal recommends prohibiting Norwegian citizens and companies from profiting from or supporting Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise.

“The Israeli settlements in Palestine are in violation of international law. They contribute to displacement, extreme violence and a development that makes a peaceful solution impossible. We will prohibit trade with the illegal settlements,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in a press release.

The Israeli government has built illegal settlements at a rapid pace, undermining the prospects of a Palestinian state.

The proposal follows a parliamentary resolution and would ban Norwegian exports to, and importation of goods from, Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Trump has warned Iran that it has 60 days to reach an agreement with Washington or face unspecified action.

Speaking during a public address, Trump said that in “60 days, we have to make a deal otherwise we will do things that wont make them [Iranians] happy,” while adding that he did not believe the situation would reach that point.

He also warned that any escalation could threaten oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy routes.

“Remember, if we do that, then all of a sudden you’re not going to have the oil flowing out of the Strait of Hormuz because people who have billion dollar ships don’t love missiles flying over them, don’t love mines all over the water,” he added.

US President Donald Trump said the United States has “had a lot of victories”, during a speech marking the unveiling of a new Air Force One aircraft gifted by Qatar.

Trump used the ceremony, held for the plane that will replace the aircraft used to transport US presidents, to boast about US military power and predict a sharp fall in oil prices.

“You’re going to see oil drop so low. I hope the companies are happy about it,” he said.

He then pointed to the US war on Iran as proof of Washington’s military dominance.

“We have the greatest military in the world. You saw that in Iran, in one week, virtually, we knocked out their entire navy, their entire air force, their radar. We wiped out everything,” he said.

Trump says he thanked China for staying out of the conflict with Iran after personally urging Beijing not to intervene.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said he had asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to keep China away from the fighting, despite Beijing’s dependence on energy shipments moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

“I want to thank China because I asked China not to get involved with Iran,” Trump said.

Trump said China receives about half of its oil through the strategic waterway, giving Beijing a major stake in any disruption to shipping there.

“They get 50 percent of their oil from the Strait, but I asked him not to get involved, and he said he wouldn’t – and he didn’t,” Trump said. “He made it very nice, actually, very nice. And I appreciate that.”

US President Donald Trump will travel to Camp David this weekend, making only his second visit to the presidential retreat since returning to office last year.

A White House official told Reuters that Trump will hold policy and political meetings during the trip. His family will also join him for the weekend, which includes Father’s Day on Sunday.

The visit comes as Trump pushes for a final agreement to end the war on Iran. Planned US-Iran talks in Switzerland on Friday were cancelled after fighting intensified in Lebanon despite reports of a ceasefire.

The escalation has added fresh uncertainty over the timing of negotiations, which Washington sees as central to reopening the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping and restoring stability across the Middle East.

Trump last visited Camp David in June 2025, when he met senior military officials and foreign policy advisers to discuss immigration protests in California, Iran and Israel’s war on Gaza, which has been deemed a genocide by the United Nations, human rights groups and genocide scholars.

NBC News says US President Donald Trump told the outlet in a phone interview that he spoke with Israel earlier today and urged it to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

A senior US official has also confirmed the ceasefire to Reuters, even as Israel continues to launch attacks across Lebanon.

The reports come as Israeli forces press on with strikes despite growing claims of a US-backed push to halt the fighting.

An Israeli air strike has hit a tent housing displaced Palestinian families in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, injuring at least five people, the Wafa news agency reports.

Israel has repeatedly attacked al-Mawasi despite ordering Palestinians to flee there during its genocidal war on Gaza.

Palestinian health authorities said on Thursday that Israeli forces have killed at least 73,018 Palestinians and wounded 173,273 others since 7 October 2023.

They added that 1,007 people have been killed and 3,165 injured since a “ceasefire” came into effect on 11 October.

Health officials also said rescue teams have recovered 784 bodies from areas they could not previously reach because of Israel’s attacks and siege.

Iran has denied reports that it invited the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect its nuclear facilities, saying any wider access will depend on the outcome of talks.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran had made no such invitation to the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

He said Iran would keep its nuclear programme under the current status quo while negotiations over a final agreement continue, in line with the memorandum of understanding reached with the US.

Baghaei said inspections that have already been taking place, including at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, would continue.

But he said access to other nuclear sites, where Iran suspended IAEA inspections during the war, would depend on the result of the negotiations.

Norway says it plans to ban its citizens and businesses from trading in goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The government announced the move on Friday, in a step that would target economic activity linked to Israel’s settlement enterprise in occupied land.

The Iranian maritime authority is requiring ships to submit requests to pass through the Strait of Hormuz 48 hours in advance of crossing, Al Nahar News reported.

Al Nahar cited the Persian Gulf Maritime Organisation, which stated that the advanced requests are needed to prevent delays in the Strait. 

Israeli forces detained three young Palestinian men and attacked others with tear gas and sound bombs at a picnic site near Bethlehem, occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency.

Wafa reported that the Israeli military also arrested a young man in a raid near Jenin and conducted a raid on Qalqilya city. 

Lebanon's death toll due to Israeli air strikes has risen to 47 killed since midnight, Al Mayadeen news reported. 

Al Jazeera also reported that Israel has conducted at least twelve strikes on southern Lebanon since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the afternoon. 

Israeli forces have conducted at least four strikes in southern Lebanon after the ceasefire agreement took effect at 4pm local time, Al Jazeera reported.

 Israel launched two strikes in Kfar Tebnit and one in Nabatieh and Kfar Sir, according to the report.

Al Jazeera also reported that an Israeli military spokesperson stated that Israeli forces maintain "operational freedom" to respond to threats and Hezbollah operations in southern Lebanon, casting doubt on the efficacy of the ceasefire.

The Israeli government and Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon beginning at 4pm local time, Reuters reported.

The deal comes after Israeli strikes killed at least 18 people in an escalation in southern Lebanon on Thursday night. 

Israeli strikes have killed at least 21 and wounded over 39 others in southern Lebanon since Thursday night, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced. 

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced "a dangerous and reprehensible escalation" that has cost the lives of "dozens of innocent people, including women and children".

These strikes "undermine all ongoing efforts to consolidate the ceasefire and end the war, particularly in light of recent developments between the United States and Iran", he said in a statement.
