The US and Israel\u00a0launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning<\/a>, with the initial attack near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u2019s Tehran office.<\/p>\n

The airstrikes are a response to the regime\u2019s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program following weeks of talks \u2014 and as the US\u00a0increased its military presence in the Middle East<\/a>\u00a0after President Trump warned Tehran there would be consequences if a deal was not reached. Israel later confirmed that the joint strikes targeted the Supreme Leader and Iran\u2019s President Masoud Pezeshkian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon,\u201d\u00a0Trump vowed<\/a>\u00a0in a video message posted on Truth Social just before 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

He warned\u00a0Tehran<\/a>\u00a0to \u201clay down your arms or face certain death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran later warned that the \u201cfirst wave of extensive missile and drone attacks\u201d is underway across Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
