Israel-Iran conflict LIVE updates: Trump mulls US involvement in strikes on Iran, saying he ‘may or may not' join Israeli strikes; Tehran reportedly set to target US military bases in Middle East
Go to latest In brief: The latest on the situation in the Middle East Thank you for joining us for our coverage of the conflict between Israel and Iran. Here's a quick overview of the latest developments: US President Donald Trump has demanded 'unconditional surrender' from Iran as its conflict with Israel escalates and tensions grow within Trump's Republican Party about whether the world's most powerful military should become directly involved in yet another Middle East theatre of war. The White House confirmed Trump had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but would not divulge details of the call – and Trump, unusually, refrained from posting about it on social media. Trump remained non-committal overnight when asked if the US would join Israel's attacks on Iran. 'I may do it (join the Israeli attacks). I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.' Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said US military intervention in the conflict would be met with 'irreparable harm' and that his country would not surrender. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations described Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear sites as an act of war against humanity, exposing people to the risk of hazardous leaks. The first Israeli repatriation flights landed on home soil at Tel Aviv, as evacuations of internationals continued by air, road and sea from both Israel and Iran.

'If and when those decisions are made, the Department (of Defence) is prepared to execute them,' Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee. He told lawmakers that the Pentagon was providing 'options' to Trump. 4.01am Iran calls Trump 'cowardly' as it hits back at the White House Iran has hit back at US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran had reached out to negotiate. 'No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House,' the official X account for Iran's diplomatic mission to the UN, posted. 'The only thing more despicable than his (Trump's) lies is his cowardly threat to 'take out' Iran's Supreme Leader. Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance. 'Iran shall respond to any threat with a counter-threat, and to any action with reciprocal measures.' 4.01am Trump and Khamenei: A war of words As we reported last night, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any American strikes targeting Iran would result in 'irreparable damage' for the US. He said he would not heed US President Donald Trump's call for Iran to back down from its retaliatory strikes against Israel. 4.00am 'Nobody knows what I'm going to do': Trump US President Donald Trump remained non-committal overnight when asked if the US would join Israel's attacks on Iran. 'I may do it (join the Israeli attacks). I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do,' Trump said when asked if he is moving closer to striking Iran's nuclear facilities, adding that Tehran had reached out about the possibility of negotiations. Trump said he had encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push forward with strikes on Iran. The two men had spoken on Tuesday, but Trump said he had given Netanyahu no indication about whether the US would commit forces. 'I said, 'keep going,'' Trump said when asked about his message to Netanyahu.

PM may play NATO trump card to score US president talks
Australia's chances of tariff exemptions remain uncertain as the prime minister returns from an overseas trip without having spoken to Donald Trump. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's much-anticipated plans to hold his first in-person meeting the US president were thrown into chaos because of escalating tensions in the Middle East. The two were expected to speak on the sidelines of the G7 in Canada during the summit's final day to discuss trade, tariffs and defence. But less than 24 hours before their meeting, Mr Trump revealed he had to leave early to deal with the situation between Iran and Israel. The prime minister will fly into Sydney on Thursday without clear progress towards a trade resolution. But Mr Albanese could get a second chance at Mr Trump within days. The prime minister is considering going to The Hague at the end of June to attend a summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, where the US president is expected to appear. "We'll meet soon and I'm sure that will occur," Mr Albanese told reporters in Calgary on Tuesday local time (Wednesday AEST). "From time to time, meetings are rescheduled - that's what happens." The prime minister is also expected to advocate for Australia's nuclear submarine deal with the US and UK at his meeting with Mr Trump. Mr Albanese was not the only world leader lining up to speak with the leader of the free world at the G7. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had talks scheduled with Mr Trump the day after he left. Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum was also set to meet Mr Trump face-to-face for the first time that day. Ms Sheinbaum received a call from the US president soon after news broke of his departure, but the prime minister has not received a direct call from Mr Trump. Instead, he met with the president's senior economic team on the day he was supposed to speak with Mr Trump. His discussions with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer involved trade, tariffs and critical minerals - which Australia has considered using as a bargaining chip in US negotiations. The prime minister said Mr Trump's departure was "understandable" and insisted things were progressing. Australia's exports to the US continue to be hit with a baseline 10 per cent tariff and its steel and aluminium products incur a 50 per cent levy.
