Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dalvinder Singh Grewal" data-source="post: 226710" data-attributes="member: 22683">Israel is looking to conclude its ongoing campaign in Iran and has conveyed this message to the United States, according to three Israeli officials familiar with the matter, Reuters reported. However, much depends on how Iran responds to the unfolding situation.Two other officials indicated that Israeli leaders are currently working on a precise exit strategy aimed at ending the conflict and halting Iran’s missile and drone attacks. The intention is to avoid a prolonged cycle of retaliatory strikes that could further destabilise the region.According to Reuters, a separate source briefed on the developments said that the Israeli military has signalled it is close to achieving its strategic objectives.While Israel chose the timing of its surprise strike on Iran, officials and analysts acknowledge that it cannot dictate the conflict’s conclusion. If Tehran chooses to escalate further, Israel risks being dragged into a prolonged and costly war of attrition.Jun 23, 2025 11:23 PM IST<h3>Israel Iran War Live Updates: UK evacuates citizens from Israel as West Asia conflict escalates, urges Iran to pursue diplomacy</h3>As tensions escalate in West Asia, the United Kingdom has evacuated 63 British nationals from Israel amid growing regional instability following American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.In a statement to the House of Commons, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that a Royal Air Force (RAF) flight successfully transported vulnerable British nationals and their dependents from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport to Cyprus. From there, the evacuees are scheduled to board a civilian flight back to Britain.Alongside the evacuation efforts, the UK government has urged Iran to take the “off-ramp” and return to the negotiating table, signalling a push for diplomatic de-escalation.Meanwhile, the UK has advised its nationals in Qatar to “shelter in place until further notice.” The advisory follows a security alert issued by the United States for its citizens in the region and Qatar’s decision to close its airspace after Tehran warned of retaliatory strikes against American targets.

The move is intended as a protest over what he described as human rights violations in Gaza.</blockquote>
