President Trump faces a volatile, fast-moving global crisis as Israel and Iran teeter on the brink of all-out war. The situation is shifting by the moment in the wake of Israel’s attack on multiple sites in Iran in the early hours of Friday,

Israel’s attack on Iran was long in the making – the result of years of meticulous planning by Israel and days of high-stakes talks between Tel Aviv and Washington, officials told CNN.

Tensions in the Middle East have exploded into full-scale conflict. In a dramatic overnight assault, Israel launched its most aggressive airstrikes in decades, targeting Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure.

Israel's attack on Iran raises questions like whether the US will get involved, how Iran will respond, and if a wider conflict may be triggered.

The president had asked Israel to hold off. Now he’s scrambling to make a deal in negotiations that have become even more complex.

Israel and Iran opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday that set off explosions in the Iranian capital of Tehran. Israel said it targeted nuclear and military facilities,

"This confrontation will not end with last night's limited actions and Iran's strikes will continue, and this action will be very painful and regrettable for the aggressors," Fars reported, citing senior military officials.
