Israel, Iran again strike at each other overnight
TEL AVIV/DUBAI—Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other overnight into Sunday, as US President Donald Trump said the conflict could be easily ended while warning Tehran not to strike any US targets.
Israeli rescue teams combed through the rubble of residential buildings destroyed in strikes, using flashlights and sniffer dogs to look for survivors after at least 10 people, including children, were killed, authorities said.
The Israeli military warned Iranians living near weapons facilities to evacuate, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks by Israel so far were nothing compared with what Iran would see in the coming days.
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” Trump said in a message on Truth Social. “However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.”
Talks canceled
Trump gave no details of any possible deal.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Israel’s attacks, which began on Friday, were aimed at sabotaging nuclear talks with the United States that were to resume in Oman on Sunday, and which have now been canceled. He said Israel’s attacks had the support of the United States. and that Iran was acting only in self-defense.
