Overview

• President Trump has set a two-week window for Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program, warning he may order US airstrikes if Tehran does not respond.
• Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected any US talks until Israel ends its bombing campaign, despite European efforts to de-escalate.
• Israeli airstrikes have targeted uranium enrichment facilities and missile production sites, which officials say have delayed Iran’s nuclear progress by at least two years.
• Iran has launched over 450 missiles and 1,000 drones at Israel, killing at least 24 civilians and wounding hundreds, while Iranian casualties from Israeli raids have topped 650.
• The IAEA cautioned that strikes on Iran’s nuclear reactors risk significant radioactive release, as the US Navy moves an aircraft carrier closer to the Middle East.
