Why are Trump and Israel attacking Iran? Answers are complex, but this timeline of U.S.-Iran relations offers some context.

President Donald Trump, already upset with Tehran’s violent crackdown, gave diplomacy a final shot, but ultimately decided time was up.

Iran’s “new potential leadership” has suggested it's open for talks with the United States after the American and Israeli attack

Israel launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran on Sunday and Iran responded with more missile barrages, a day after the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei pitched the Middle East and the global economy into deepening uncertainty.

"We can support the democracy movement and the Iranian people without sending our troops to die," says Sen. Ruben Gallego.

The U.S. military announced on Sunday the first American casualties of President ⁠Donald ⁠Trump's intensifying attack on Iran, as a new poll showed only ⁠one in four Americans supported strikes against the Middle Eastern country.

Three American service members have been killed and casualties are reported in the UAE, Israel and Kuwait as Israel and Iran continue to trade strikes.

Iran quickly retaliated, firing missiles across the region, where the U.S. has numerous troops in an array of bases. Killing Khamenei was perhaps the biggest element of what could prove the most dangerous foreign policy gamble yet for a president with an unusually muscular approach to the world.
