Israel launchesmissile attack on Iran despite nuclear talks
Israel launched missile strikes on Tehran's University Street and Jomhouri area early Saturday, escalating tensions despite ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States. The attack occurred a day after Oman's foreign minister, who mediated the talks in Geneva, expressed optimism about resolving all issues amicably within months. Israel, which had been urging the US to attack Iran, acted unilaterally. This marks the second Israeli attack on Iran in under a year, following the 12-day war in June that caused hundreds of deaths and widespread destruction. The US has not joined the conflict, though President Trump expressed disappointment with the slow pace of talks. Many countries, including the US, China, and the UK, have advised citizens to leave Iran and Israel amid war fears.
