The administration of US President Donald Trump has not critiqued the weeks-long timeframe in private discussions, an Israeli official told CNN. A White House official said the administration was aware and implicitly supportive of Israel’s plans.

Netanyahu’s address: In a televised speech on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country would continue its operation “for as many days as it takes” to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. The Israeli military claims it has destroyed Iran’s ballistic missile launch sites and stockpiles.

Iran’s response: Tehran, which insists its nuclear program is peaceful, says it has “no option but to respond.” Its elite military wing, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, threatened to intensify its attacks if Israel continued hostilities.
