The Islamic State of Iran, is facing an existential challenge, the gravest, since the 1979 Revolution threw out the Shah of Iran and brough the clergy to power. America entering the war with Israel has changed the ground situation. The un predictable and temperamental Donald Trump is sending out mixed signals on regime change. Initially it was just Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers who spoke of it but now Trump appears to be playing to the Israeli leaders tune.

It바카라�s not politically correct to use the term, 바카라�Regime Change,바카라� but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn바카라�t there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!바카라� Trump said in a Truth Social post.

According to Al Jazeera, the Kremlin has confirmed the meeting between President Vladimir Putin and the Iranian foreign minister on Monday. This comes as analysts say it바카라�s highly likely that Iran will offer Trump a compromise, and wants Putin to get involved as a mediator.

The Kremlin has not yet officially commented on the US strikes on Iran바카라�s nuclear facilities, but the Russian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned them.

President Putin earlier said that Russia would not get involved in the conflict militarily, as Russia is conducting its own military operation in Ukraine.

The price of oil rose and U.S. stock futures fell as global markets react to the U.S. strike against nuclear targets in Iran.

That was evident in early Asian trading. Tokyo바카라�s Nikkei 225 index fell 0.6%. Other major regional markets also logged moderate declines.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has slammed Iran바카라�s support for Russia바카라�s war against his country and offered tacit approval of the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

바카라�New waves of 바카라�Shahed바카라� drones are in the skies over Ukraine. We all clearly remember where Russia got such weapons. Iran바카라�s decisions to support Russia have brought massive destruction and devastating human losses to our country, and to many others. This truly must stop. And it must absolutely not be reinforced with nuclear weapons,바카라� the Ukrainian leader said in his nightly address.

바카라�There must be no proliferation of nuclear weapons in the modern world. This must be emphasized. It is important that there is American resolve on this, the resolve of President Trump.바카라�

He added that diplomacy should be a priority going forward.

바카라�Diplomacy has to start working. Working everywhere: in the Middle  East, in the Gulf region, and here in Europe 바카라� in Ukraine,바카라� he said.

General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outlined the details of the operation, which involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, including seven B-2 stealth bombers, midair refueling tankers, surveillance aircraft, and fighter escorts.

The mission began just after midnight ET on Friday. B-2 bombers launched from the United States, with a portion heading west as a decoy while the main strike group flew eastward in radio silence over an 18-hour flight.

At around 5 p.m. ET Saturday, a US submarine fired more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at surface-level infrastructure at the Isfahan nuclear site. This was followed at 6:40 p.m. ET by a devastating air assault on Iran's most fortified nuclear sites.

The lead B-2 bomber dropped two GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators 바카라� 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs 바카라� on the Fordow underground facility. Subsequent bombers struck additional targets at Natanz and Isfahan. All strikes were completed by 7:05 p.m. ET, which corresponds to roughly 2:10 a.m. local time in Iran on Sunday.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the US "must receive a response for their aggression" after a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.

In a statement released on the Iranian presidency's website, Pezeshkian says Iran has been "subjected to military aggression" and has "defended ourselves steadfastly".

"We have always stated that we are ready to engage and negotiate within the framework of international law, but instead of accepting logic, the other side has demanded the surrender of the Iranian nation," he says.

Pezeshkian adds: "Our nation will never surrender to bullying and oppression, and it is natural that it will respond appropriately to aggression."

During an address to a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, Turkiye, Iran바카라�s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US crossed 바카라�a very big red line바카라� by attacking Iran바카라�s three nuclear facilities.

Speaking just hours after Trump announced that US warplanes had 바카라�obliterated바카라� the nuclear sites, Araghchi condemned the strikes and called on the United Nations Security Council to act.

바카라�It is an outrageous, grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law,바카라� he said, adding that the 바카라�warmongering and lawless바카라� US administration will be 바카라�solely and fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far-reaching implications of its act of aggression바카라�.

바카라�The US military attack on the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of a UN member state carried out in collusion with the genocidal Israeli regime has once again revealed the extent of the United States바카라� hostility towards the peace-seeking people of Iran. We will never compromise on their independence and sovereignty,바카라� he said.

바카라�The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to defend Iran바카라�s territory, sovereignty, and people by all means necessary against not just US military aggression, but also the reckless and unlawful actions of the Israeli regime.바카라�

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday confirmed that American strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities had 바카라�devastated the Iranian nuclear program,바카라� in what is being described as one of the most complex and aggressive U.S. military operations in recent years.

Speaking at a Pentagon press conference, Hegseth said the operation, codenamed Operation Midnight Hammer, was carried out under direct orders from President Donald Trump after months of meticulous planning. The strikes targeted Iran바카라�s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.

"This was a decisive and devastating blow," Hegseth said. 바카라�While we do not seek war, the United States will act swiftly and decisively when our people, partners, or interests are threatened.바카라�
