Trump urges Iran to "make a deal, before there is nothing left" after Israeli strikes on nuclear sites

Washington — President Trump on Friday urged Iran to "make a deal, before there is nothing left" after Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, senior military leaders and research scientists, the opening attacks in what Israeli officials said is part of a major operation against Iran.

In his first public comments since Israel's military began its assault, Mr. Trump urged Iran to to agree to new restrictions on its nuclear program. The president has previously said Iran cannot be allowed to enrich uranium, a term Iran is not willing to accept.

Steve Witkoff, the president's Middle East envoy, was set to hold a sixth round of talks with Iran in the Gulf state of Oman on Sunday.
