President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, urging the country to accept a nuclear deal to avoid further “planned attacks,” citing that “there has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter… come to an end.”
Israel launched Operation Rising Lion against Iran's nuclear facilities in the early hours of Friday morning, and Newsweek maps show where airstrikes took place. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks were "a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival."
In the wake of a series of strikes by Israel on Iran's nuclear sites, potentially pushing the Middle East to the brink of an all-out conflict, President Donald Trump told ABC News he thought the attacks had been "excellent" and suggested there was "more to come."
President Trump made his first public comments since Israel's military began its assault on Iran, urging it to "make a deal, before there is nothing left."
