Trump issues warning to Iran amid Israel conflict

"I don't care what she said": Trump overrules intelligence agencies on Iran
  • Donald Trump warned Iran to make a deal “before there is nothing left,” threatening that he claims to know the supreme leader's location but will not target him “at least not for now.”
  • Israel claimed to have the Iranian military leadership “on the run” after launching Operation Rising Lion, which included attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and military figures.
  • Civilians in Tehran and other areas fled or stockpiled supplies as Israel's air force struck targets, including Tehran’s command centre, reportedly killing Iran’s new wartime chief of staff.
  • Israel's ambassador to the US stated that the strikes on Iran were “the war to end wars” and that Trump was not pressuring Israel to halt its offensive.
  • An Israeli military official reported that Israel struck “dozens” of military assets, including a Tehran command centre and components connected to the Iranian nuclear program, while Iran has fired over 1,000 projectiles at Israel.
