Israel at war Day 616: Israel launched a major offensive on Iran's nuclear and military facilities. 

US President Donald Trump was asked by reporters what he was doing to lower the escalating tensions, and answered that Iran "can't have a nuclear weapon. Very simple. They can't have a nuclear weapon. We're not going to allow that."

Trump also responded when questioned about the evacuation of personnel from the region: "You'll have to see."

This comes after talks between the US and Iran to strike a nuclear deal have faltered over Tehran's refusal to stop enriching uranium, despite creative American solutions to the disagreement. These include an international consortium to enrich the uranium for Tehran, although the Islamic Republic has stated that enrichment would take place in the country, whether with or without a deal.


"We are constantly assessing the appropriate personnel posture at all our embassies," said a State Department official told The Washington Post. "Based on our latest analysis, we decided to reduce the footprint of our mission in Iraq."

"We are watching and worried," a diplomat told the paper. "We think it’s more serious than any other time in the past."

"A nuclear Iran poses an existential threat to Israel," US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said at an event for United Hatzalah, "and it is also an existential threat to the United States. We must stand together resolutely so that Iran does not go nuclear, no matter what the cost to prevent it."

An Iranian official speaking to The New York Times confirmed that the military and political leadership in Tehran has met to discuss the possible retaliation to an Israeli strike, which would come in the form of hundreds of ballistic missiles launched at Israel.

IDF says it 'completed a series of strikes against the Iranian regime's surface-to-surface missile array'

In recent hours, Air Force fighter jets, under precise intelligence guidance from the Intelligence Branch, completed a series of strikes against the Iranian regime's surface-to-surface missile array.

As part of the strikes, dozens of launchers, surface-to-surface missile storage sites, and other military sites were destroyed. At one of the sites attacked in western Iran, a unique launching mechanism was set up that was placed inside containers. 

Throughout the war, the Iranian regime launched hundreds of surface-to-surface missiles toward Israeli territory. Destroying these missiles is a vital mission in the effort to protect the citizens of the State of Israel.

The Iranian regime's missile arsenal contains missiles with ranges of thousands of kilometers. Leaving these missiles in the hands of the Iranian regime is a danger to the region and the entire world.
