Summary
The United States and Israel have initiated military action against Iran, with President Donald Trump confirming that "major combat operations" are currently in progress. The Israel Defense Forces reported that Iran has launched retaliatory strikes in response.
Trump has urged the Iranian populace to "take over" their government, asserting, "It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations." Reports indicate that smoke is rising over Tehran, with explosions being heard in five cities across Iran.
In recent developments, Washington has intensified pressure on Tehran to reach an agreement regarding its nuclear program. On Friday, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's negotiating stance during the nuclear discussions. Our Middle East correspondent provides insights into the context leading to this situation.
Meanwhile, the UK government has stated its desire to avoid "a wider regional conflict" in the Middle East, clarifying that it was not involved in the recent military actions.
