According to Iran, 45 women and children were killed in Israeli strikes, and three Red Crescent workers died during rescue work. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian urged the country to stay united as attacks caused damage even in cities like Kermanshah, where a hospital was allegedly hit.
Israel's army said it had destroyed one-third of Iran's missile launchers. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he could even target Iran's Supreme Leader to 'end the conflict'.
President Trump, speaking at the G7 summit, asked Iran to talk with Israel 'before it's too late'.
'We, as Iranian people, do not want to see any deal between Israel and the dictator regime of Iran! We want regime change! Mr. @realDonaldTrump, if you cannot help us, stay away and let Israel do its job, and we will finish the rest of that on the street. Best regards,' came from one user who reacted to Ronaldo's message of peace to Trump.
