US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Israel as the ceasefire with Iran teeters on brink. Speaking to reporters he expressed his unhappiness at the countries, adding that he's particularly upset with Israel as it "unloaded" on Iran shortly after agreeing to the deal.

"Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen," he said.

Shortly after boarding his helicopter he took to Truth Social, writing: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS."

"IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!" he wrote.

Other price changes will apply to ordinary large letters up to 125g, increasing from $3.00 to $3.40, and ordinary large letters between 125 and 250 grams will rise from $4.50 to $5.10.

Communications minister Anika Wells still has an opportunity to reject the change, which was unopposed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
 
Unless rejected, the increased prices will start from 17 July.

ACCC commissioner Anna Brakey said the decision was based on evidence Australia Post’s letter operations were bringing in less revenue than the money it was costing to run it.

“Our final decision recommends Australia Post examine ways to alleviate affordability issues for businesses, including those subject to requirements to send physical mail,” Brakey said.
