Iran has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene and pressure Israel into an immediate ceasefire, as the escalating aerial conflict between the two regional powers enters its fifth day with heavy casualties and mounting destruction.

Speaking on social media platform X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said a ceasefire was the only viable path forward and called on Washington to act. 바카라If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential,바카라 Araqchi said. 바카라It takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That may pave the way for a return to diplomacy.바카라

The appeal came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel was 바카라on the path to victory,바카라 after launching a series of intensified airstrikes across Iranian territory. Addressing troops at an air base, Netanyahu reaffirmed his military objectives: 바카라We are telling the citizens of Tehran: 바카라Evacuate바카라 바카라 and we are taking action.바카라

Iran바카라s missile retaliation, which marked one of the most effective direct attacks against Israeli air defenses in recent memory, has shocked both Israeli and international observers. For the first time in decades of covert warfare and proxy battles, Iran바카라s strikes breached Israeli defenses in significant numbers, reportedly killing civilians in residential areas.

Sources familiar with the situation told Reuters that Iran has reached out to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, asking them to urge Trump to intervene. In exchange for a ceasefire, Tehran signaled willingness to show flexibility in stalled nuclear negotiations, according to two Iranian and three regional officials.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials report over 224 fatalities 바카라 the majority of them civilians 바카라 following a devastating Israeli air campaign that began Friday with a surprise strike. That opening salvo killed several of Iran바카라s top military commanders and leading nuclear scientists.

Iranian state media broadcast scenes of devastation in cities across the country, including footage of burned-out vehicles, shattered government buildings, and hospitals overwhelmed with casualties. In Tehran, the atmosphere has grown increasingly desperate as civilians line up at gas stations and ATM machines, many of which have run out of fuel or cash.

바카라I am desperate,바카라 said Gholamreza Mohammadi, a 48-year-old civil servant in Tehran, speaking by phone. 바카라My two children are scared and cannot sleep at night because of the sound of air defence and attacks. But we have nowhere to go. We hid under our dining table.바카라

As both sides dig in, the risk of further escalation grows 바카라 along with pressure on the United States to play a decisive role in ending one of the most dangerous confrontations the region has seen in years.
