Queen Elizabeth has celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, meeting in a face to face event in the UK at her Sandringham estate to mark 70 years on the throne

Charles led the flowing tributes, noting his mother’s “remarkable achievement” of seven decades at the head of the Commonwealth.

The 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth released a statement saying she looks forward to the year of her Platinum Jubilee with optimism.

In her message, Elizabeth the Second officially grants her permission for Camilla to be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes King.

“It is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,”
She says.

Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt told the Press Association says Queen Elizabeth is future-proofing an institution she’s served for 70 years.

“This is the most extraordinary message. The Queen is ensuring the transition, when it comes, to her son as King is as seamless and trouble-free as possible,’’
he says.

The Queen is the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, but even after 70 years on the throne, there is no sign she will be stepping aside.

Her reign began when she was just 25 years old in 1952, when her father George passed away.

Now 95, the monarch says she is eternally grateful for the loyalty and affection the world has given her.

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.
