Tehran says it will end hostilities if West Jerusalem halts attacks first

Iran launched missiles at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, the day after American B-2 bombers struck three Iranian nuclear facilities. According to US President Donald Trump, no Americans were harmed and "hardly any damage was done" to the military outpost.

On Sunday, Trump hinted at a possible regime change in Iran, although both the US and Israel have denied that toppling the government is their immediate goal. After US bombers struck nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, Trump suggested that it was now "time for peace."

Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the American and Israeli strikes as illegal under international law during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the Kremlin on Monday. Araghchi stated that "Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people."

Tehran has previously warned Washington and other countries against joining the conflict, threatening to target any hostile assets and weapons shipments bound for Israel. A spokesperson for Yemen's Houthis also warned that if the US becomes involved, the group "will target its warships in the Red Sea."

On June 13, Israel began a series of strikes it said were aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Tehran, which denies having a military nuclear program, called the attack an act of war and responded with missile and drone strikes of its own.

Israeli strikes have killed at least 430 Iranians and injured more than 3,500 civilians so far, according to Iran's Health Ministry. Israeli officials have reported 25 deaths and over 2,500 injuries.
