In this episode of W News, presented by Leigh-Ann Gerrans, we report on media claims that Israel is considering military action against Iran's nuclear infrastructure in the coming days – without US support. This comes as the US and Iran prepare for a sixth round of nuclear talks in Oman, with sharp divisions over uranium enrichment: Iran calls it a 'non-negotiable' right for civilian use, while the US says it could lead to nuclear weapons development.

The VIX, which measures volatility expectations on Wall Street, jumped 22.1% to 21.99 points as of 10:39 am KSA time.

Trump urges Iran to strike nuclear deal before there's nothing left
US President Donald Trump urged Iran to reach an agreement on its nuclear program before it is too late, in order to halt the escalating conflict with Israel. In a post on his platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that 'I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal'. He warned Iran that military action against its nuclear program "would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told." The US has the best and most dangerous military equipment in the world — bar none — and Israel has a lot of it. They know how to use it.' Trump went on to say that the hardliners in Iran who rejected the chance to reach a nuclear deal with the US are "all dead now. 'There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left,' Trump added.
