After striking back on Friday night, Iran launched a new wave of strikes toward Israel on Saturday morning. Now, the two countries continue to exchange deadly missiles and threats, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides.

Discussing the conflict between Israel and Iran, the former vice president said Trump "ought to be looking elsewhere than Vladimir Putin for advice."

New targets appear to indicate an expansion of Israel’s war aims beyond the Iranian nuclear facilities that consumed the first days of the conflict.

The Israeli military has damaged critical nuclear infrastructure and killed scientists, but Tehran’s most formidable enrichment plant remains.

If Mr Trump is not serious about diplomacy, his second choice is whether America should join the war. Satellite imagery suggests that Israel has destroyed the so-called “pilot-fuel enrichment plant” at Natanz, an above-ground facility where Iran enriched uranium to 60%, a small step below weapons-grade.

President Donald Trump said the United will come down on Iran “at levels never seen before” if the Middle Eastern country attacks.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she urged Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday to work toward negotiating an end to Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon and to allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians in Gaza.
