US President Donald Trump is weighing involvement in Israel’s military strikes on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, according to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, as hostilities between the two countries enter their sixth consecutive day.
Earlier, Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” claiming he knows the whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader but has decided not to target him — “for now.”
Meanwhile, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared he would never compromise with Israel and vowed to show “no mercy.”
Israel stated it targeted a centrifuge facility in Tehran and additional weapons sites in a fresh wave of overnight strikes.
In retaliation, Iran launched attacks on Israel, triggering two sets of sirens during the night. However, the scale of Tehran’s response appears to have weakened, reports BBC.
