President Donald Trump’s announcement of a “massive and ongoing” US military campaign against Iran — and his explicit call for the country’s citizens to shake off their oppressive leadership — put on display his fresh appetite for geopolitical risk and thrust his presidency into a deeper period of uncertainty.

US president Donald Trump said a “major combat operation” against Iran had begun as he called for the country’s government to be overthrown.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian "is in full health and no problem has occurred for him," Tehran's state news agency IRNA said.

Quoting unnamed Israeli sources, Israel’s Channel 12 says Israel assesses that the strikes on Iran thus far have achieved “very high success” in the goal of eliminating the Iranian leadership.

President Trump launched military strikes on Iran after several rounds of talks over the country's nuclear program and uranium stockpiles. Here's what to know about the nuclear program.

Explosions have taken place in Pasteur Street, a secure area of Tehran that hosts the office of the Iranian president, the center of Iran's Revolutionary Guards intelligence leadership, the Supreme National Security Council and other military institutions.

When US President Donald Trump addressed the American people on Tuesday night, he claimed that Iran is “working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.”

While Democrats and their stenographers in mainstream media screamed about a fever-dream involving collusion between Russia and Trump, the Iranian regime deployed unnoticed election influence operations aimed at stopping Trump's election in back-to-back contests in 2020 and 2024.
