U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran "will not win this war" and urged Tehran to enter negotiations immediately "before it's too late."
Since early Friday, Israel has launched a wide-scale assault on Iran, deploying dozens of fighter jets to strike nuclear facilities, missile bases, and assassinate key military leaders and nuclear scientists across multiple regions.
The Israeli Defense Forces described the operation as a "preemptive strike" conducted under political directives.
Netanyahu called the unprecedented offensive a mission to "cripple Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile factories, and various military capabilities."
In response, Iran launched a series of ballistic missile and drone attacks, resulting in over 250 casualties and widespread material damage to buildings and vehicles.
