The world grappled Sunday with the enormous implications after the United States inserted itself into Israel's war against Iran with an attack that raised urgent questions about what remained of Tehran’s nuclear program and how its weakened military might respond.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says America “does not seek war” with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country’s nuclear sites

Israel continued its attack on Iran overnight, striking key military targets, including the complex Parchin which is associated with Iran’s National Security Council. The site, located about 30 kilometres southeast of Tehran, is among the locations suspected to have been used by Iran to enrich uranium.

Israel's military on Saturday killed two more top Iranian military officials during overnight strikes as fighting between the two nations entered a second week.
