Donald Trump is reportedly considering joining Israel’s military strikes against Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, according to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. The escalation comes as the two countries exchange fire for a sixth consecutive day.
Earlier, President Trump called for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and revealed that he knows the whereabouts of Iran’s leader but has chosen not to take lethal action “for now.”
In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that he will never compromise with Israel and vowed to show “no mercy.”

Israel confirmed it had struck a centrifuge site in Tehran, along with other weapons facilities, as part of its overnight barrage.
Meanwhile, Iran launched attacks on Israel, triggering sirens twice during the night. However, reports indicate that the scale of Tehran’s attacks has diminished, according to journalist Hugo Bachega.
