"A senior White House official said on Sunday that 'new potential leadership' in Iran has suggested they are open for talks with the US and that Mr Trump says he is 'eventually' willing to talk. For now, though, Mr Trump said in a video posted on Sunday that the operation in Iran - 'one of the most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen' - will continue until 'all of our objectives' are achieved."
"The joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which started on Saturday, stoked fears of a wider war and damage to the world economy. Global reaction ranged from jubilation to condemnation. The strikes came two days after the latest US-Iran talks, as US President Donald Trump pressured Tehran for a deal to constrain its nuclear programme."
"Israeli strikes targeted Tehran. Iran fired drones and missiles at Israel and sites around the Gulf, prompting three close US allies to say they are ready to defend their interests in the region. Related violence expanded on Sunday to a growing number of places, with a rising death toll."
Joint US-Israeli military operations targeting Iran resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompting Iranian retaliatory strikes across the region with drones and missiles. The escalation sparked widespread international concern about potential broader conflict and economic consequences. A provisional governing council in Iran began operations to select new leadership. White House officials indicated that emerging Iranian leadership has expressed openness to negotiations with the US, while President Trump stated military operations will continue until all objectives are achieved. The strikes followed recent US-Iran talks focused on constraining Iran's nuclear program. Regional allies of the US expressed readiness to defend their interests, and global reactions ranged from support to condemnation.
