Trump says he'll decide on US attacks on Iran within two weeks
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said any decision on potential US involvement would be made within two weeks as the Iran-Israel air war entered its second week on Friday.Israeli air attacks have killed 639 people in Iran, said the Human Rights Activists News Agency. Those killed include the military's top echelon and nuclear scientists. Israel has said at least two dozen Israeli civilians have died in Iranian missile attacks.

Europe partly to blame for Iran-Israel conflict, Iran's UN ambassador says
GENEVA — Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva has said diplomacy still have a chance if Israel stops its strikes but warned that Iran would target the United States if it chooses to come into the conflict."We believe that the minimum thing Europeans can do is to very explicitly condemn Israel and stop their support for Israel," Ali Bahraini said in an interview for Euronews.Bahraini said Europe's reluctance to condemn Israel's aggression and its inability to keep the nuclear deal (JCPOA) afloat have all contributed to the current intensifying hostilities between Iran and Israel, now in their seventh day."The impunity which has been given to Israel is something which encourages that entity to continue committing new...

Trump’s new two-week negotiating window sets off scramble to restart stalled Iran talks
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s decision to open a two-week negotiating window before deciding on striking Iran sets off an urgent effort to restart talks that had been deadlocked when Israel began its bombing campaign last week.The hope among Trump and his advisers is that Iran — under constant Israeli attack and having suffered losses to its missile arsenal — will relent on its hardline position and agree to terms it had previously rejected, including abandoning its enrichment of uranium, according to US officials.The deferred decision, which came after days of increasingly martial messages from the president suggesting he was preparing to order a strike, also gives Trump more time to weigh the potential consequences — including the chance it could drag the United States...

Chinese citizens flee Iran as conflict with Israel rages on
TEHRAN — Hundreds of Chinese workers, students and tourists have fled or been evacuated from Iran to neighboring countries as the conflict with Israel spirals.Masa Li, a 24-year-old Chinese citizen who has lived and worked in Tehran for the past few years, fled the city on Monday after three days of bombing.“At night, we took turns keeping watch. There were explosions every night, lasting until two or three o’clock in the morning,” she said, adding that she saw several strikes hitting the city from where she lived.On the final day, Li decided to flee with nine colleagues and friends. It took them more than 30 hours to reach a border crossing in Armenia — a drive stalled by repeated car breakdowns and frequent stops for questioning and phone checks by police and military...
