Israel says it carried out fresh strikes on military targets in western and central Iran, despite reports that US President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid further attacks. The latest military action comes as tensions remain high between Israel and Iran, raising concerns about the stability of ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Trump insisted that the renewed exchanges between Israel and Iran would not derail US-led peace talks with Tehran, saying he remains in control of negotiations. Iran responded to Israeli strikes by launching missiles at Israeli targets, while Trump maintained that a broader agreement to end the conflict is still achievable despite the escalating violence.
