The conflict between Israel and Iran escalated with new attacks early Saturday, as diplomatic efforts face significant challenges. Israel continues to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities while Iranian forces retaliate with drone attacks. Tensions worsened after Iran publicly rejected nuclear negotiations, intensifying the situation.
Former US President Donald Trump, speaking from Washington, stated it is “very hard” to ask Israel to cease its military actions against Iran, implying that Israel is currently prevailing in the conflict. Trump expressed doubt about European mediation efforts, mentioning that Europe is unlikely to help end the war. He also asserted that Iran’s main aim is to engage the US in talks rather than negotiate directly with Israel.
Worldwide, leaders remain concerned as the conflict extends into its second week. European ministers held talks with Iranian diplomats in an effort to de-escalate hostilities, but no breakthroughs emerged. Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced it had shot down Iranian drones overnight, indicating ongoing active military engagement.
As tensions continue rising, the regional and international community closely monitor the situation, fearing further escalation in the already volatile Middle East.
