U.S. President Donald Trump has called for a definitive resolution to the nuclear dispute with Iran, even as military clashes between Israel and Iran continue for a fifth consecutive day. Speaking after the G7 summit in Canada, Trump hinted at possible diplomatic engagement, stating he might dispatch senior officials like Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance to negotiate with Tehran. Despite ongoing hostilities, Washington remains focused on securing a nuclear deal with Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced a new wave of missile attacks targeting Israel, while an Iranian commander warned of additional drone strikes. Israeli forces have retaliated with extensive airstrikes on Iranian military sites, including missile depots and launch facilities. The conflict has already resulted in casualties, with three reported dead in an Israeli strike on the city of Kashan.
In Tehran, residents reported explosions and anti-aircraft fire early Tuesday, with smoke seen rising in the eastern part of the city. Suspected Israeli projectiles also triggered air defenses in Natanz, a key nuclear site. Iranian officials have downplayed some incidents, attributing them to “infiltrators” rather than direct Israeli action. However, the situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down.
As the crisis deepens, global leaders are urging restraint. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons, warning civilians to leave Tehran immediately. With tensions at a boiling point, the international community fears further escalation could lead to a broader regional conflict. The coming days will be critical in determining whether diplomacy can prevail over military confrontation.
