The United States said it has completed a series of retaliatory strikes against Iranian assets following the downing of a US Army Apache helicopter, while Iran responded by launching missiles and drones toward American-linked targets in the Gulf, raising fresh concerns over regional stability even as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain on track.
Diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing US-Iran conflict showed little progress on Monday, as talks remained stalled and Iran’s top diplomat travelled to Russia for high-level consultations, while US President Donald Trump signalled a tougher stance on negotiations.
President Donald Trump says the US will "leave" Iran in "two to three weeks" when it is certain the regime cannot build a nuclear weapon "for years" and whether there is a deal with Tehran or not.
US President Donald Trump warned that the “big wave” of the US attack on Iran is yet to come as he laid out his war objectives for reporters.
