Iran War LIVE: Israel struck new targets across Iran on Thursday, after Tehran rejected US overtures to wind down the nearly four-week Middle East war and vowed to keep up its „resistance“.
Hopes for a negotiated end to the US-Israeli war with Iran – which has mushroomed to engulf much of the Middle East – rose after the United States was said to have put a 15-point peace plan to Tehran.
But the Islamic republic's top diplomat flatly denied any „negotiations“ with President Donald Trump's administration late Wednesday – conceding only that messages were being exchanged through „friendly countries“.
Under near-daily bombardment since the joint US-Israeli attack that started the war on February 28, Iran was hit early Thursday by what the Israeli army called „wide-scale“ strikes targeting infrastructure.
Local media reported attacks in the central cities of Isfahan and Shiraz, as well as Bandar Abbas in the south, Tabriz in the northwest and Mashhad in the northeast – an area largely spared until now.
