The event hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden, is normally full of banter and humour, but this year’s version was a little less vivacious

 
Most years, the White House Correspondents’ dinner is known for its humour and banter.

But this year, it was a slightly more solemn affair.

It follows Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovish being detained by Russian authorities over spying charges – charges Gershkovish, his employer and the U.S. government all deny.

Biden recognised both Gershkovish and Austin Tice, a journalist who’s been held in Syria for over a decade.

The families of the men sat in the audience as Biden called for their loved ones to be “released immediately”.

Bruce Wolpe from the U.S. Studies Centre gave us an insight.

Israel seeks to damage Iran’s Fordow facility before halting operations; Trump suggests US knows Khamenei’s location, avoids assassination.

In Short:
Israel aims to damage Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and is seeking US assistance, despite uncertainty about American military involvement. Tensions rise as President Trump holds national security meetings, contemplating military options against Iran.

Israel plans to continue its operations against Iran until the Fordow nuclear facility is significantly damaged. The facility, located underground near Qom, is crucial for uranium enrichment.

Israel acknowledges that its own military capabilities cannot reach the depths of Fordow, but it is relying on the United States for support.

Israel’s National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, indicated ongoing discussions with US officials but expressed uncertainty regarding US involvement in military actions.

Iran’s nuclear weapon

Many in Israel and the West suspect that Fordow is part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development, a claim that Iran denies.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early due to this ongoing conflict and convened a national security meeting at the White House.

The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, included key security figures such as CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Reports suggest that Trump is considering the use of a “bunker buster” bomb against Fordow.
