According to a The New York Times report based on interviews with U.S. and Israeli officials, Israel's Mossad Chief David Barnea told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the war with Iran that the espionage agency was capable of inciting riots to help overthrow the regime.

Barnea also reportedly presented the proposal to senior U.S. government officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January. According to the New York Times' sources, Netanyahu adopted Barnea's optimism about the possibility of an uprising in order to convince U.S. President Donald Trump that overthrowing the regime was a realistic goal.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning that he would begin striking Iranian energy infrastructure if it does not comply.

The ambulances belonged to Hatzola, a not-for-profit volunteer organization that responds to medical emergencies.

The London Fire Brigade said it had sent six fire engines and 40 firefighters to the scene. Calls from residents were recorded at 0140 GMT.

"Multiple cylinders on the vehicles exploded and caused windows to break in an adjacent block of flats. No injuries are reported."

The London Fire Brigade said the fire was under control by 3:06 GMT.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the incident was "a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack," adding that his thoughts were with the Jewish community "waking up this morning to this horrific news."
