Israel and Iran continued exchanging deadly attacks for the fifth consecutive day, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to urge Iranians to evacuate Tehran amid rising fears of a wider conflict. World leaders are calling for de-escalation, but both sides remain locked in their positions.
For the fifth day in a row, Israel and Iran have traded attacks, escalating their deadliest conflict yet. U.S. President Donald Trump urged civilians to evacuate Tehran, blaming Iran’s refusal to accept a proposed nuclear deal.
At the G7 Summit, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed Trump had proposed a ceasefire plan, while reports suggest backchannel talks may be underway.
Explosions and heavy air defence activity were reported in Tehran, including at the Natanz nuclear site.
Israel confirmed striking Iran’s state broadcaster, killing two.
Iran has reported 224 civilian deaths, while Israel confirmed 24 casualties and mass evacuations since Friday's air strikes.
Tehran is reportedly open to nuclear talks if Israeli strikes stop, seeking mediation through Gulf countries. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told four European counterparts that Iran was serious about diplomacy but its current focus was on confronting aggression, according to Iranian state media.
Israel has said its goal is to eliminate Tehran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon and Tel Aviv shows no sign of backing down, claiming airspace control and preparing for further escalation.
Oil prices have surged, and the Chinese embassy has urged its citizens to leave Israel amid rising regional risks.
