The death toll is rising as Israel and Iran traded missile strikes for a third straight day. The death toll grew Sunday as Israel and Iran exchanged missile attacks for a third consecutive day, with Israel warning that worse is to come.

World leaders had gathered Monday in Canada with the specific goal of helping to defuse a series of global pressure points, only to be disrupted by a showdown over Iran’s nuclear program that could escalate in dangerous and uncontrollable ways.

Israel says it first bombed Iran to stop it from being able to produce nuclear weapons and the “existential threat” they would represent.

US President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to offer Iran a 'last chance' nuclear offer which may be slightly better than the previous proposal just over a week ago

The retaliatory strikes came on Saturday, a day after Israel killed top Iranian military leaders and scientists and destroyed an aboveground nuclear enrichment plant near Natanz.

Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately before it's too late,' Trump said at the G7 Summit in Canada.

Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday on Tehran.

The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.
