Meanwhile Donald Trump says his early G7 exit has "nothing to do" with an Israel-Iran ceasefire, as fighting between the two nations enters a fifth day.

When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.

Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi said in an update that an Israeli strike on Sunday on Quds Square in northern Tehran injured 59 civilians and killed 12 people, including a pregnant woman. That attack also ruptured a main water pipeline.

Traders on decentralized betting platform Polymarket have scaled back expectations for U.S. military action against Iran amid reports that President Donald Trump's team is looking to mend fences.

The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated into its fourth day with mounting casualties, widening attacks, and no sign of diplomatic resolution.

DUBAI (Reuters) -Israel's military said on Tuesday it had killed Ali Shadmani, who it identified as Iran's armed forces' chief of staff and said was the most senior military commander.

President Donald Trump is under fierce pressure from inside Israel and his own MAGA base as he ponders the most fateful national security decision of either of his presidencies — whether to attempt a killer blow against Iran’s nuclear program.

The resolution comes one day after President Trump suggested “it’s possible” the United States could get involved in the Middle Eastern conflict.
