Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth straight day on Tuesday, and U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran, citing what he said was the country's rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development.

Israel struck Iran's state-run television station during a live broadcast, forcing a reporter to run off camera following an explosion.

After canceling negotiations with the U.S. scheduled for Sunday, Tehran has signaled it is willing to talk.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News on Monday that President Donald Trump was still aiming for a nuclear deal with Iran even as hostilities have escalated between U.S. ally Israel and Tehran,

"American Forces are maintaining their defensive posture & that has not changed," the chief Pentagon spokesperson said.
